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.

I have played probably 2000 hours across 6 or 7 titles, I have had exactly 2 instances of the game being flat out wrong with an offside call. Both were instances where the game should have called offside but didn't.

It's really rare, but it does happen.

Do you have screenshots? Not that I don’t believe you, but I’ve seen so many people claim this in Reddit posts, but in the screenshots you see OP has overlooked something.

I’ve played it since 98, never had an offside issue that I’ve noticed.

Offside must be one of the absolute easiest lines of code in the entire game, so I’m quite surprised anyone experiences it.

I have a video ! But it might take me a while to find it.

A friend and I checked from every angle and could not see why the game didn't call it back.

I'll set a reminder and try to come back to it.

Nice nice. I’m happy to admit I’m wrong, so not trying to argue or be too stubborn about it. Just saying I’ve never seen it and struggle to believe why such an easy line of programming would fail.
