Penalties

[EdgeCrusher]

I realize most people just got the game today, but was wondering if any of the slider gurus have tweaked around with the penalty sliders. I ask, because after picking up the game this afternoon, playing default AA, 5 min. Q's, I have had one holding call...total.That's after 6 games.

It looks like they haven't changed penalties from last year. I have everything maxed except holding, facemask and clipping at 55. Last year anything higher than 55 made the game freak out. One of the three would be called every play. I dont think this has changed in 11.

Holding is still spazzed out. If you crank holding to 55 then you will see about ten holding calls in a game, easy. Try to put offsides up to 100, I bet you still don't get a offsides called. I know in the five or six games I have played, I have not seen an offside penalty yet!

Yet if you keep holding or facemask or clipping at 50, it is barely called.

I think the penalty sliders might be a wee bit busted. Was the same last year in Madden 10.

my thing is, i dont care much about lots of penalties.. since i only play say 3-7 min quarters. i think the problem is, we dont play a full 15 min quarters. if we did, you think we would see more calls?

Yes, the penalty sliders are certainly touchy.I went from 1 holding call in 6 games total at default, tuned holding to 55, had 6 calls in a quarter and a half or so.

Why are sliders screwed every year in EA Football games?

[EdgeCrusher]

Just an update for anyone that cares, I tuned facemask up 5 from to default to 55, and had 7 called in one 5 min. quarter game.

I have holding & facemasking set at 55 playing on AA with 6 minute quarters and have had pretty good results. Last game I played I had a total of 3 holding & 2 facemasking calls both teams combined. Does playing on higher skill levels increase the penalties as well? Just a thought.
