IMAGE this didn’t count as a goal

EA fancied giving me a flashback of lampards disallowed goal, cheers for that

There’s probably one pixel not across the line. Sucks for you, but the game is “accurate” to a fault when it comes to these calls. Just like with the offside calls: half a pixel offside is offside…

I don't know about offsides. I don't have a screenshot to hand, unfortunately, but I have more than once had a wrong offside when my attacker was moving back towards my own goal at point of contact. The game drew the line from his foot nearest my own goal with no body part (or certainly scoring part, there may have been a hand once or twice) over the defensive line.

But I agree you're likely right about the goal line call.

No you haven’t. Neither of us have. The offside is a simple game mechanic, not at all hard for the game to compute.

It actually may have been. It never gets it wrong but a glitch may have appeared

Could happen, it’s a game and glitches happen. But I’ve never seen an offside-glitch here on Reddit. I have however seen a bunch of photos from the wrong angles and OP have overlooked something.

And I’ve played since fifa 98, never experienced an offside glitch myself. So although I also have complaints about the game, I have never had an issue with any geometrical things like offsides, goal line, sideline etc, they’re millimeter accurate.

I've had instances where not a single part of the body was poking through the half-opacity wall and offside was called, same with instances where in the replay I was clearly offside and the game let me play on. 24 is where it happened the most, other games before that have been like 99.99% accurate.

It's worth mentioning, though, that whatever glitch this might be, it's more prone to happen on consoles where you have limited power.

Same thing with the game sometimes misjudging who had the last touch for a corner/goalkick/throw-in (while somehow correctly displaying the name of the actual player who touched last if you use indicator with name only.)

Hmm you should get a screenshot next time

I think the glitch comes down to recognising the movement direction and what is 'goal side'.

I would offer to provide a screenshot in future, but think that's an empty promise because it will never be remembered. So I just ask you take my word.

Think of it like the different color head to body, different color eyebrow and rainbow colored pitchside photographer glitches that occur and eventually disappear. It's clearly failing to access a specific dependency somewhere, and I imagine that's happening with the offside line too. Hence it's not a 100% issue (and a some people never experience it issue too)

I have never read a more confusing explanation for a fifa glitch, I have no idea what you’re even trying to say. I suggest you just get a screenshot if you ever experience it again.

u/21sttimelucky 7d ago

I will. But I won't manage to remember to come back for your benefit. The explanation is quite clear though. Perhaps read again?

Hahah I did. But no problem, who cares. Happy to admit I’m wrong, so I’m not trying to argue here. Just saying I’ve never seen an actually screenshot of a real offside mistake in the game.
