I haven't seen a penalty given for handball yet. All fouls are usually in favour of the defence in these situations.

I have, the handball was against me. It was quite unfair because Heskey whacked it into Nesta's hands without him even trying to challenge the ball. Some things definitely need to be ironed out.

would it be possible to get some screenshots of this happening for people who havent got WE7??

Yes, I'm sure someone could give you a screenshot but what would be the point? You would just see the ball touching a player's hand. There is no indication that it is a handball (which is what we've been suggesting). You can't save replays right after fouls so that rules out the option of video unless someone has a full-length video where you see a handball.

That's assuming they are using a very close camera angle too.

They seemed very random when they happen, it happened quiite a few times when we were running onto thru balls and we thought it was just offside, but we skipped the replay.

Doesn't handball pisses you of? I know it's making the game more realistic but still pisses me of

i dont think that is advantage. i think it is the referee telling the player to get up and it wasnt a foul. look at his hands. thats how i see it

cadburyho, I totally agree I think it's very frustating with the new handball-foul. I make a lot of clean cut sliding tackles, only to see the CPU get a freekick cause of handball.. It destroys the gameplay. The only way it could work (in my opinion) is with an attentional foul button. This function will, depending on the situation, either hack down the player (FIFA-style) or if the ball is in the air try to block it with his hands.. Sometimes you get away with it, but more often you don't..
