FIFA 14: 5 Real-Life Footballing Incidents We Want Adding

By Joseph Dempsey /

4. Players Being Stretchered Off

Again sticking with injuries for a moment, I always find it strange that players are forced to walk off the pitch in FIFA 13, even though they've just dislocated their shoulder or pulled their hamstring. Again, just this week, we saw Kolo Toure stretchered off the pitch with a groin injury, so why can't this happen in FIFA 14? It's unrealistic seeing a player hobble off the pitch with a broken ankle, something which would never be expected of them in a real-life game where clubs employ an army of medical professionals to safeguard their prized-assets well-being. And so why should it be expected to happen in FIFA 14? All it would take is for EA to throw in a quick cut-scene of the player being carried off the pitch, and they'll already have improved the realism in the game tenfold.
