Holding Penalty Broken too now?

Pre-patch penalties were pretty decent, I was getting a good mix up of different penalties with all penalties on 100. I was seeing false starts, off-sides, facemask, pass interference, everything except no roughing kicker or QB and no intentional grounding. Post-patch I have seen nothing but Holding. No other calls at all except Holding. None. Each game I have moved Holding down a few clicks at a time. At the moment, the last game I played I had Holding at 65 and there were still 14 Holding calls and as I may have mentioned, no other penalties whatsoever.

I have holding at 55, and this seems about right. Everything else is maxed....unfortunately, I have onle seen a handful of defensive PI, clipping and false starts...everything else is holding, and NONE of the other penalties not mentioned are called. I thought IAN said there was going to be a "substantial increase" in the slider effectiveness....but it only seems obvious on holding calls.

What I don't understand is how you can get away with inflamatory posts like this while others can't...The guy was simply voicing an opinion and he did the right way...incredible ...

Ok, cool. After MNF is over i'll load up the game and go ahead and move Holding on down to 55 to see what happens.

You think my post was inflammatory? Report it. I'd have no problem accepting an infraction of the moderators feel it violates the TOS.

I've gotten really odd holding calls myself. I had one on a receiver that was running a route and also on a quarterback .

The amount of holding penalties was getting ridiculous, so I toned down the penalty slider for holding (was at 85 or so, down to 60). There as one drive where the CPU got called for holding 3 times in a row, resulting in 1st and 40 from their own 17.

the one that really gets me is that I had a holing penalty on a 60 yard pass play to my rookie WR (Jarett Dillard, I'm in the 2nd year of a franchis mode), so the TD was called back, but oddly, I had the ball 1st and 1 after that (way back though, the holding all was on Calvin Johnson).

I think they might I had to put it back down to 50 but it wasnt too many but it would be like all 5 on one drive. The one thing I like that I have noticed is that it seems to plague the poorer offensive lines more than the elte.
