When I play FIFA I have always played hard and rough, and on 2005 I would cop a few bookings per game. Very rarely was the straight red card ever seen. But on 2006 the referees don't hesitate to send the players back to the dressing rooms for the slightest of things. I'm having to completely change my style of play, because v. often I am finding that 4 minutes in a vital player (Henry, Scholes, Ballack, or Jaap Stam) will be sent off and bang, there collapses my game.

In my last two games online (played for Munich) I have lost Ballack in the first quarter of the game. this just isn';t fair. I think that the refereeing changes on 2006 are causing major problems for me!
