Thank you. This is truly the underlying issue that needs to be addressed.

But thats not true IMO I get a majority of high sticks and slashing penalties probably even too many when I shield the puck from the cpu in any zone and then when he attacks with the lumber/graphite I quick turn and I even get majors ? And thats also why theres sliders like aggression , lift stick and poke to adjust to each users need or skill ?

See the other penalty thread link for my stats

Re: NHL 16 Penalties?

To me, the amount of penalties are a non-issue this year. Maybe they need to add more double minors and majors. Or, different types of penalties. But, Im playing 6 min on All Star with My own variation of AlTitos sliders, and Im seeing a very fair amount of them. And, its usually when your on the rush or applying pressure which makes it realistic.

I just got done playing NJ and I went 3/5 on the PP. And I had to kill 3 penalties as well. This is about the norm in the games Ive played. Obviously, theres been games only a few were called. But, it seems like thats got a lot better for '16.

There are certainly other things that dont work properly but I personally dont think penalties are one of them.

I've played three or four games so far and have yet to go on the power play once.

Re: NHL 16 Penalties?

Based on the mixed variety of posts it is clearly evident the penalty system is broken. Period. Guys like Sham are not wrong in their assessment of how to achieve more penalties and some guys have found successful, just right slider tweaks that work for THEM. I emphasize THEM because everyone plays different so my perfect slider tweaks could be a horror show for some one else.....But that's where the penalty system breaks down. Playing a realistic style of hockey will draw sone penalties that would be drawn in those situations but where are the behind the play calls? Where are the coincidental minors? Where are the after whistle penalties? These were all in the game a few years back. Now let's get crazy....where are the bench minors? Too many men on the ice....bottom line is we shouldn't have to spend hours tweaking the game to get something that should exist properly out of the box regardless of your play style or slider preference. This was an issue for Madden for years. Sure I could get penalties. But they were always the same few. This year in Madden I'm seeing everything at any time and it's very realistic and random which is fantastic because it can alter the game. At the end of the day I'm enjoying NHL 16 and so far and like others have found a way to get enough calls but let's NONE OF US kid ourselves about wether or not there is a problem. There is. Maybe this is something for the NHL 17 wish list thread in the future.

Re: NHL 16 Penalties?

Hockey is a unique sport as far as penalties go as theres so many different types that no other major sport has and would be pretty hard to do on all levels as I have played with certain sliders and all of a sudden saw penalties I dont normally see so its safe to say most are in there .

Now certain penalties like to many men on the ice would have to be randomly generated by the AI and for me thats the last thing I want in a sports video game which is less control like Im not even playing just for the sake of some sim or just to say wow a too many man on the Ice penalty.

The best thing about EA NHL is that it combines Sim and player skill and I wouldnt ever wanna lose that and would fight against it at all costs as video games are meant to be played and not watched IMO .

But if they could generate something fair like Madden finally did with penalties where its semi realistic and not cheap that wont totally wreck the game then maybe it might work ?

But all in all I just have fun playing the game and enjoying everything it does right instead of constantly looking for its faults but thats just me as I always try to see the good and fun in video games

Im not saying its perfect but penalties arent broken in this game or last years as my factual proof showed in the links I provided and even a few slider tweaks here or there can really change this game and thats why I play on AS near default because if you do gut one slider you sures as heck better find the other to balance it like MKHarsh did to go with his skill level as its the biggest variable in drawing penalties.
