Fifa 08 Glitch - Disappearing Opposition

Well some of us have been to Old Trafford getting dodgy penalty decisions against us whilst the crowd munches on its prawn sandwiches. So this is what you do to see the manchester united team (or any other of your choosing) disappear on fifa 08...

First of all I was playing in the Carling Cup. I made two substitutions (Adam Johnson for Gary O'Neil and Mido for Jeremie Aliadiere) just as the opposition were lining up an attacking free kick in case I get a goal kick.

Sure enough I do (as Ronaldo blasts it wide) then when I take the goal kick I press X and the R2 button and the opposition team disappears apart from the keeper leaving me to score unopposed with Mido. Then the opposition reappear to take the centre spot kick. Groovey eh and I found this out accidently!

All to the back drop of five live commentary of the Geordies being beat by Man City. Cue two ginger people shouting "you don't know what you're doing" whilst pointing at Fat Sam. Also you can hear news of former geordie great Titus Bumble scoring against Liverpool.

How does this glitch work? What requirements are there for the opposition to disappear? Once I was left facing one opposing outfield player and their keeper - how does this work?

Also, once, in the second half of a game, I conceded an offside, but was suddenly awarded a free kick outside the opposition box, with only one man in the wall, and the keeper not in his goal. Any ideas how these things work, anyone?

I managed to get this glitch to work by getting a goal kick for my team whilst I was making two substitutions.

[aergkhervihailevhjai]

Me too, once, but does it work every time? Or only if you're also at home/away? Or in the first/second half? Is goal kick + 2 subs the only requirements for this to work?

[johnnyh1977]

I know that it doesn't work every time. I've only made the opposition disappear twice, both were with a goal kick +2 subs on these two occasions. On both, I was playing away in the carling cup and in the second half. I'll need to do a bit of scientific analysis before I can answer the rest of your questions. Perhaps someone else might know the answers...

1st it's a bug in the game

2nd if you're 2 against goal keeper you can go like 0:36 and then pass to your partner if he's not in "abseits", what's dis in english ?? :D
