Penalties, Finally?

[StonewallTexan]

I hope that ends up being the case; the lack of penalties, the ridiculous interceptions (and the impression from the forums that the sliders basically do not work) have kept me from buying this game so far.

Months later and they have nerfed penalties even more. Good job providing us a "simulation" game, EA

Has anyone tried changing all players to undisciplined penalty trait to see if that changes anything?

Fix penalties, illegal contact is a thing....DPI is a thing....your penalty system, not a thing! 2. Fix the two minute drill / time out usage....Seriously? That's the best you can do after 30+ years of developing this game? 3. Fix FGs, stop kicking from places you should punt from....attempts from the 40+ yard line, not a thing unless it's the end of a half....please understand field position and basic football strategy, I mean this IS a FOOTBALL GAME, right? Seems like strategy would matter. You don't see guys in NBA 2K shooting from mid-court do you? So why are you kicking from there? 4. Fix punting in general, they don't kick balls from the 45 OB at the 25, maybe once a season, not twice a game....these guys are professional punters, they can aim. 5. Fix the passing game so the TE doesn't get 15 catches per game while D. Adams gets two balls thrown to him the whole game. If TE2 is getting more targets than WR1, then your game is broken. Uh, I could go on but said frustration is setting back in! Please fix this! I'm a Lions fan....I need fake football to be good so my real football isn't so painful!

Zach Wilson to Tyler Conklin 15 catches for 140 yards. It is so frustrating. Tight ends get a free release no matter who you put on coverage. Cover LB, SS, FS, CB. It doesn't matter, any tight end in this game can be Travis Kelce.

One player with 15 catches......was you using coaching adjustments......the game gives us options to use so that wont happen....u might wanna learn how to make civerage adjustments like press and shading and even highlighting the wr. Do you user ur LB or FS? Also what u pick in ur weekly strategy plays a part in how ur defense responds

It’s hard to play man coverage in this game because of this reason.

If I'm playing against the Bengals with Chase, Boyd, Higgins and Mixon but I still need to make coverage adjustments to stop Hayden Hurst there is something seriously wrong with the game.

also, one of the most commonly called penalties in the NFL, defensive holding, isnt even in the game.
