Penalties are still a problem

[xx19kilosoldier]

I know folks "feel" good because the situation feels "better" but its still not right.

Im sure that this will fall on def ears this year but I hope EA does something to fix this GLARING issue next year. (am I really sitting here asking them to fix the same issue for the 3rd straight year?)

Make the sliders do what they are supposed to do EA. Its painfully obvious they do not work or we would not have these issues yearly.

Make sliders actually work instead of the scam that many of them really are.

Folks are watching.

PS: The career freeze issue in Fifa 13 is one of the greatest travesties in sports gaming in a long time.

Re: Penalties are still a problem

I've found most folks that think there are too few have an unrealistic idea of how many are actually called in real life.

They also have an unrealistic view of how many should be called in a 5 minute period versus a 10 minute period. Because of scaling, one penalty will generally take up the time of four in 5 minute periods, and 2 in 10 minute periods.

If you use real time scaling, penalties would take 30 seconds in real time.

Penalties were definitely way too light on release. But I see no problem with them now, at all. Despite time scaling, I'm still getting 6-8 penalties total per game.

Re: Penalties are still a problem

in my BaGM, i see 4 penalties/game or at times 10/game. there was an instant where i got 12 pens/game (7 done by my team, 3 mine and 4 CPU teammates). and my game is set in 10 min/period. btw, sometimes i see double pen or game misconduct too, both CPU and me.

im totally satisfied with the amount of penalties. but the type of penalties...that i want to see more varieties, ex. goalie interference. i dont know how many penalties you expect in 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 min per period? im glad that EA address this after the release compared to how they handle this issue in NHL 12.

Re: Penalties are still a problem

I agree with you canuck!! There is nothing wrong with the penalty sliders. well at least they were fixed.. you have to find YOUR perfect setting.. Im on V1.05 and my sliders are working great. I have games with tons of hits and tons of penalties and games with little or no hits and less penalties. On average my team has 4 pk's a game and i get 4 pp's. So 8 called penalties a game for me is perfect... check you aggression and hitting sliders. I feel them make the biggest difference in penalties. Game speed also is critical...anything over 2 is far too fast and the penalties will not be call correctly. at least that is what i have observed!!

good luck

Re: Penalties are still a problem

I'm happy with the number of penalties now, too. [10 minute periods]

Happier still that the amount of calls do vary around quite a bit. Some games I see as few as three calls total. Whereas in other games, I see as many as eight. And seeing calls I never did before this issue was addressed. Boarding, hitting from behind, double minors, etc...

Re: Penalties are still a problem

I still see total one sided penalties. My CPU teammates go to the box as if there's free candy and beer in there, yet the CPU controlled teams rarely take a penalty, even when blatant ones happen.

Re: Penalties are still a problem

Penalties are not an issue in m gameplay. I play Be a Gm and use Altino's slider as my base. To draw penalties, you have to pass often in your offensive zone. Cycling the puck and keep the ai off balance works great for me. However, when I play more of wide open, up and down the ice, not much is called my way. To the OP's point of penalties being off, the cpu does seem to get it's power plays regardless of the tempo play.

Re: Penalties are still a problem

I have not had an issue with penalties since tuner 1.04. Im using all the updates now (no EA rosters though) and still seeing plenty. 6 games into my season I have taken 38 penalties (9 in one game) and I have had 23 Power Plays......I think the penalties are working fine. Wonder why some are not getting them ????

Re: Penalties are still a problem

I'm getting roughly the right amount of calls, just not the right, or fair calls. CPU gets away with murder most times.

I miss the goalie interference calls, but I understand with the new skating engine this is necessary for now as it's not abnormal to see players plowing into the goalie online.

I seeing a good amount of calls, but like you they seem like they are called just to have penalties. The CPU gets away with so much, FULLY AGREE!

I was thinking last night as I ran the goalie into the back of the net how weird it is this year not seeing any of those calls.

Re: Penalties are still a problem

Ya, I think it's just a transition with the new skating engine, I'm sure it'll be in better shape next year. You know, regardless of how unrealistic it is, it's kind of funny to see guys plowing into the goalie time after time with no calls. Online, guys do it on purpose in OTP and sometimes it's downright funny to see. Very reminiscent of 3-on-3 NHL arcade, lol.

Re: Penalties are still a problem

I started a BAGM a few weeks ago and have been really pleasantly surprised with the penalty calling-average about 5-8 total a game on 10 min periods, very evenly distributed most of the time. And most are taken by the CPU, both teammates and opponents. I do play on Superstar, maybe the added CPU aggression causes them to take more than some others are experiencing?
