Thanks for the tips, but you can rest assured that we won't be getting penalties like this in real matches. Our actual human player couldn't make the video shoot, so I had to step in and catch / throw balls. I took some "G40 liberties" to get the ball in for the "Killer Bees Clip" as we called it (three shot three human player strategy). I still think the camera angle is misleading and that my arms were actually in the Safety Zone, but I could be wrong.

Our real human player has gotten zero penalties in 2014 and hopefully he'll get the chance to keep not getting penalties at IRI! He's been pretty great about staying behind the line and makes a point to not even reach into the Safety Zone.
