Madden NFL 16: Penalties Are Finally Going to Be a Thing

[JoshC1977]

If this works...then theoretically, penalties will no longer influence gameplay elements. Now, that sounds great, but in reality, those penalty sliders play a huge role in our ability to properly tune player reactions. That could be a very bad thing in that we are going to be stuck if something like pursuit angles or defensive reaction times are badly overdone (a hallmark of this series). Currently, the only way to properly tune these is a combination of the tackle slider and RTK slider.

What I am hoping is that they bring back some of the old gameplay sliders they took out (which wound up being combined with other sliders) a couple of years ago (like pass rush, RBA, etc.). This would allow us to fine-tune the game and enjoy penalties for once.

I have to assume they did per play. Doesn't make any sense otherwise.

Now this... is great news. Might be the best part of the blog I've read so far on Madden. This is huge IMO. Of course, the proof is in the pudding on how it works.

Right with you on this Sage. I'm also disappointed that chop block and ineligible man downfield is not in. Once again, flame me all you want, but I am simply asking for things that I had 12 years ago. Yes, these penalties were in football games 12 years ago, not 10 or 11. Offsetting penalties we had as well and I haven't seen anything about those. Probably something that they missed most likely

It gets tiring to continue to ask for things we had over a decade ago. I've never even asked for something that was new or innovative, I've just wanted what was taken away.

Oh well, at least they added some of the penalties and hopefully they work well for people.

I agree with offsetting and illegal man downfield, but I wonder if the no fun league would allow illegal chop blocks?

Different era.

Already confirmed that offsetting penalties are not in the game. Not saying you shouldnt want more penalties but some of yall are some Debbie Downers. Jesus.

I get it...it should of been in the game years ago.
I get it...other games had it years ago.

What does that matter now though? Madden is the only NFL game we have right now so anything that gets us closer to realism and how some of those other games were is a good thing and should be celebrated.

Celebrated? Lol. This is sad. SMH.
