SYMPTOMS

If you or your computer opponent selects a red-carded player to take a free or corner kick, the player does not approach the ball, and the game stops responding (hangs).

RESOLUTION

To prevent this issue from occurring, substitute a new player for the red-carded player as soon as possible. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Press the ESC key, and then click Coaching.
  2. To substitute a player on the home team, click and drag the number for a new player and drop it on the number for the red-carded player.
  3. To substitute a player on the away team, click See Away, and then click and drag the number for a new player and drop it on the number for the red-carded player.
  4. Click Play Game.
NOTE: Soccer substitutes the new player for the red-carded player the next time the ball is out of play (goal kicks, corner kicks, and throw-ins) and in your possession.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Soccer, version 1.0.
