Depends on who you ask, but I have found that depending on your play style you will see more or less calls with increased sliders for penalties.

A lot of people are hardly seeing any penalties and some are seeing a few.

If you set up on offense and work the puck around and get the computer chasing they will take some penalties. It also makes a difference on how long of a period you intend on playing. Obviously the longer you play the more chances for a penalty to occur and be called. It also probably ties into fatigue somewhat.

In my overall experience with the game I have found the combined penalty totals to be under the real life NHL average per game. I play on 7-8 minute periods with maxed out penalty sliders though, if that helps.

it is now in the little strategy-box and once youve change it, its a permanent change - really stupid, if you ask me...

How does drafting currently work before they patch it? I just started a GM Mode season and assigned my scouts, what is the quickest way to draft/sign a prospect and get him into my NHL team?

There's a new strategie for quick breakout. What is it ?

Also, something that was not on NHL 14, you now have the option to change AI during games. Like having defenseman to pinch (if losing in the third) or hold the line. Cycle or shoot, block shots or not and so on. Things that was only possible at the start of the game in '14.

Someone asked earlier but I don't believe it was answered... Is there any way to save your team strategies?

The only place I've found to edit them is right before a game starts (Edit Lines & Strategies, I think), but it seems to revert back to defaults after each game.

Someone asked earlier but I didn't see the answer, is it possible to get it to save your spot in the game when in standby mode like Madden?
Also, what happened to being able to sim a few periods then jump into the game?

Do sliders not save in Be A GM mode? Entered the sliders, then saved Be A GM, came back to sliders at default. Am I doing something wrong?
