If I set the penalty slider up to full, then having paid 50 pounds Sterling for the game, I most certainly DO feel entitled to see virtual players, not real players, take all kinds of penalties regardless of my playing style.

And again, when it did work correctly, no one complained that penalties were taken out of context by the CPU.
Ill respond to the bold but the game isnt programmed that way and just like MLB the show its not real click sliders and I draw most of my penalties shielding the puck with skilled players as an example but not the rule , hope that helps ?
Now I cant speak for others or how they play or gut sliders before even playing the game a while but many complained last year to and heres my visual proof (FACT not opinion )from last year that was demanded of me and then they complained about types so I provided that too and the thread died down
And I find penalties about the same this year so all my tips should apply in this link starting on page 8 to the end of the thread .

Re: NHL 16 Penalties?

Not wanting to turn this into an argument, because it's not, but for me, I'm very happy with the way I play... it's a nice mix of cycling, solo puck possession and getting pucks on net.

I really don't want to figure skate any longer than I already do in an effort to draw more hooking and slashing pens.

The whole "real hockey" stuff is very condescending though. I've been playing hockey games since 92 and attending live hockey since the mid 80s. Yep, I'm getting on a bit but I do know a thing or two about the sport.

Re: NHL 16 Penalties?

played my first game. Offline versus, 14 min periods, pen sliders all up, game speed at default, CPU took 6 penalties while I took 4 plus a game misconduct.
so the lenght of period indeed may have an influence.

Hi same here and please dont take it personal and sorry if it comes off that way as Im just a factual person and I was attacked for the same exact thing thats going on here again in this thread and Im sorry if the term real hockey offends you but if you have a better way to describe how I play Ill be glad to use it .

Once again Im not trying to argue with anyone as I just posted facts again and again on how I do it factually with proof and people seem to get mad as I never said anyone one isnt playing properly ? Did I ? Just said how I played to take it any way you want .

Hey we all play different but when I play I try and play like the real NHL not north south arcade hockey , I dump and chase ect and when heat is on I ice it but dont listen to me read this whole thread .

You got one guy claiming theres no penalties year after year

Me giving factually screens , box scores , variance of penalties and how I get them .

MKHarsh saying he adjusted two sliders to counter balance them in a way and now he gets more penalties but choppy screen

and others saying after an update they had 9 penalties in the first period .

I dont need Sherlock Holmes to tell me whats going on here as its pretty elementary to me how about you ?

Re: NHL 16 Penalties?

I will write this with 100% certainty.

The more you play the game and understand what you can and cannot do in terms of interacting with the CPU when they are defending you, the more penalties are called.

Knowing when and in what situations to press A, to press in the L stick and to use LT to change your body angle, all of that goes a long way to drawing penalties.

Re: NHL 16 Penalties?

I haven't played 16 yet, but if the penalties is like it's been the last years I'm completely agreeing with TheShame...
The penalties are there, but you have to make the CPU draw them.

However, I still think that the sliders are a bit to ineffective.
Like I said, I don't have 16 yet, but I'm assuming there are still two penalty sliders; One that is meaning "Penalties called by the ref" and the other is "likelyhood for the CPU opponent to draw a penalty". It's not worded like that, but that's what they mean.
(actually there's three sliders, one for CPU team mates right?)

Cykling, dekeing and covering the puck usually gets you more penalties whatever setting the slider is set at.
I actually have the Penalty Slider down pretty low, that way you can on rare occasions get a way with a hooking, just like you can in real life... you know it happens.
However, I still think that the last years (since '11?), the slider that is suppose to affect how often the CPU draws penalties is a non working slider.
Like I said, I know how to play and make the opponent draw penalties, and I'm happy with my results... However, I've played with the CPU penalty sliders maxed, and at minimum, and I don't see a difference.

The lack of poke checking and attempted stick lifts from the CPU is the biggest reason. They usually just go for a clean steal/or big hit, no matter ohw you set the slider.

Thanks Man and penalties are about the same this year too ! and I also agree there could be more depth in the penalties but just like MLB the show this game doesnt have real click sliders so that could kinda be dangerous , so its gotta be a more random thing like MLB IMO .

Im pretty disciplined on D so I do raise CPU teammates to 4 to keep the 6 to 8 PPs combined I get in a 8 minute per period game and it couldnt be more perfect for me as its so good I really dont even monitor it any more and to tell you the truth I enjoy this game so much this year it could have no penalties and I would still love it !
