8 Times Video Games Stopped You Being A Jerk

Though the FIFA series certainly became vastly more sophisticated in its later entries, for many the high-point came around the release of FIFA: Road to World Cup 98, when players were finally granted the opportunity to slide tackle the goalkeeper of the opposing side.

There surely isn't a soul among us who's played FIFA '98 and never taken a goalie out, because the temptation is just too damn strong to resist, sportsmanship be-damned.

But EA Sports did try to discourage players from simply tackling goalies with impunity, by ensuring that anyone who hacks a goalkeeper will be given an instant red card by the ref.

Hilariously, if you ignore this and keep sending your players out there to violently attack the goalie, you can get enough of your team sent off the pitch that you're forced to forfeit the match.

That's.. certainly a way to stop players from unleashing their inner hooligan on the field.
