Madden NFL 16: A Deeper Look At Penalties


Over on our YouTube channel, I took a deeper look at penalties in Madden NFL 16. Penalties are a focus in the game this season, so I tweaked the new penalty sliders and played a game to see what results came about. In the end, Joe Flacco is definitely the star of the show.

It's also fair to confirm that the penalty sliders work. Simply moving them plus-10 impacted the game in a major way. I would say be very careful when tweaking these sliders.

(Note: If you head to YouTube and check out the full description below the video, you will find time stamps for each penalty in the game. If you click a time stamp, it will take you right to that exact penalty.)

Flacco took some lessons from the Brady school of diving. ☺

Bumped up to 60 in a few games and I've seen a nice variety of penalties. Especially some nice defensive pass interference calls.

It's great to see penalties actually being called and other than facemask the animations are of a wide variety and look good, if only in weird locations on the field. Wold still like to see more variations of penalties called per game.

I know in the games I have played on 6 min quarters I have seen false starts, offsides ( called against CPU and User ), facemask, Def PI, Def Holding, Unsportsman like conduct, lots of holding when turned up like in the vid, and even on +5 block in the back is pretty frequent. Facemask, holding, block in the back, and roughing are still the majority of calls though.

Has anyone seen an OPI yet?

Anyway, this is good stuff Chase, thanks for the vid. I wonder if some of the penalties might even need to go down below 50 for a 120-play game. I don't think I've ever turned a penalty slider down below 50 in Madden, even in the PS2 days.

I haven't seen OPI yet. There isn't a number value to the slider it's just on or off.

Do you think the awareness stat has something to do with why a player can give away more penalties then another one? I say Lower rated OL players seem to give penalties away more
