In the modern game of football, many matches are wrongfully decided by poor refereeing decisions so at least EA Sports seem to be trying to be realistic with their portrayal of their in-game refs. So many times, FIFA ruins perfectly good matches with inconsistent decisions and it's something that finally needs to be fixed. The man in black is nearly as important to you winning as scoring goals, so if he's not favouring you, you can forget about victory entirely. Constant shirt pulling and late tackles are rarely punished accordingly and it just encourages players to slide around all game committing fouls, making a mockery of the idea of a Beautiful Game. When the ref decides to call back play, he disrupts the game and often books two to three players after every intermission - frankly, it's ridiculous. Once more, FIFA 15 is rumoured to have a Be a Referee mode, which sounds crazy but surely it couldn't be any worse than the current AI. Let us know in the comments below if you agree on the twelve broken features that EA Sports need to fix, and add your own suggestions.
