Those things definitely should matter but there should be an animation that shows the hold. I don't think I've ever seen something like this in Madden when I've checked the replay.

Glad these options are in. Sim all day for me though. Even my Madden tourney will be set to sim.

I hope the score overlay is a lot smaller this year. Too big across the top of the screen last year. Should be in the top right of the screen and much smaller . Also I'd like to see it disappear as the play unfolds and then reappear after the play.

Really pumped to see what slider gurus like Armor come up with in Sim mode

I mean it's different styles. When I'm playing my franchise by myself I want sim. But when I'm playing my boy? Hell yeah I wanna hit stick everyone and make crazy catches so I can talk ****.

I can't say for sure, 100%, but I do believe it's a mix. From what I recall Rex and others saying the past few years, I do believe that ratings certainly matter here. I think there's a 'disciplined' trait, too. I believe my rookie RG was undisciplined the whole year. He was the player constantly flagged for holding (by constant, I just mean all season long, 0-3 times per game, maybe). So, I do believe ratings matter. But, Rex has also definitely mentioned they have sort of a 'cap' system (my word, not theirs) that sort of caps penalties to make sure u don't see 10 holdings in a row by the same player or something. From a sim POV, this does seem artificial, maybe. But, I think that in terms of how the game plays and penalties play out, this does generate a 'realistic' amount of penalties. So, it's sort of a programming trick to 'guarantee' things don't get out of hand.

I do believe ratings still matter. I don't think I've ever had my quality LT ever called for a holding, that I can recall. But, the penalties as a whole are sort of capped.

Maybe that should be a presentation option for choices other than broadcast presentation?

If is true simulation will be awesome!
