SYSTEM: PS3 & Xbox 360

GAME MODE: ALL

DETAILS: As has been documented in a thread on OS, the EA forums and in media reviews penalties need to be fixed. There are too few penalties called (with all the sliders maxed), especially by the CPU. There are blatant penalties (interference, running the goalie, roughing, tripping etc etc) that are not being called resulting in a negative gameplay experience. Penalties are a massive part of hockey and they need to be more prevalent in NHL 13.

It would also help if the cpu would instigate a fight either against a user or itself (in cpu v cpu mode) as this just never happens in coach mode or cpu v cpu mode. No after the whistle activity takes place in cpu v cpu mode or coach mode.

The sliders just don't work, with them all on max you would expect an excessive amount of calls but we are lucky to see 1 or 2 in total per game (this is all-star, 10min periods, all penalty sliders maxed - main penalty slider, cpu penalties and cpu team-mate penalties)

Please can this be tuned so that penalties are called in a much greater number. The product is so good this year that this does detract enormously from the realism factor.

Thanks

This is from the Gameinformer review if NHL 13. Notice the last sentence.

The major knocks I have about the gameplay this year are largely physics based. Players get knocked down from behind far too often, and the puck physics are wildly inconsistent to the point of being unbelievable. Sometimes the puck loses all momentum when clanging off a post, dropping directly downward. Other times it ricochets off goalie past like it’s being shot out of a cannon. Refs also don’t call enough penalties, even when the slider is maxed out.*

Operation Sports review:
..concerned about the current tuner set in terms of lack of penalty calls, especially interference, but hopefully that can be ironed out soon.
