That's exactly the problem. It's not the referees' fault, it's simply the setup of the game. My complaint is that the game is setup to make calling critical penalties difficult.

...Suffice to say that many a drive team at different early events can tell you how refs tried to overcome the problem (some I personally really liked), head refs have contact with the GDC, and there is currently no officially sanctioned solution.

EDIT: Actually, it's been mentioned publicly to drive teams before, so the answer is that the GDC does not want to do so, and specifically instructed the opposite some weeks ago.


I think I should end my input on this discussion now. Maybe before now.
