Penalties - Have You Seen Any?!

[aholbert32]

I've played around 20 games since last weekend with False Start, Offsides, Pass Interference, Facemask, Clipping and Holding at 100. Ive seen a ton of facemask and false start penalties but I have seen no other ones except for 1 random holding call.

Am I the only one having this issue?

I have most mine set to around 54 haven't seen any DPI, OPI, but I have had RTP called as we'll as facemask, false start... have seen few offside's but that's happen when I go to move my d-line and one moves forward and cross the line but that's mostly my fault but it gets called.

Mine are just at 50 and I only seen like 2 a game and they are false starts lol. It just depends on what the sliders are at, check the slider forum to see what people have them at

I played 2 games of current gen and have seen more penalties than in next gen.

I think you are going to find that moving those penalty sliders to 100 is going to change the way the game plays, not the amount of penalties called. For the most part. Hopefully someone smarter than me will put up explanations of what they do. God forbid EA clues us in.

In the very first game I played I had an unnecessary roughness penalty called on the CPU. I had a player stop out of bounds and then he was tackled. It was glorious. I thought the game was going to actually have penalties this year. But it was the only one called in the game. And then in the next 6 games I played I had one offside called, and two false starts.

Really wishing holding was called more, at all.

Let's wait for explanations rather than post guesses.

It explains it more in the sliders section. But yeah having the penalties up more will effect attributes. For example, having the holding penalty up high will cause your blockers to hold on more and provide better blocking for you that could be unfair

Re: Penalties - Have You Seen Any?!

I would bet money that is the case...as it was last year, and the year before, and the year before, and the year before that. I posted that thought, on a public forum, just in case the OP was getting some unwanted elements in his game with everything pinned at 100.
But thanks for letting me know what to...and what not to post, Kelis.

I just had a defensive pass interference that cost me a Play Now Super Bowl, haha.

Re: Penalties - Have You Seen Any?!

False start, only once. That is the only penalty I have seen. I been saying it for years, until EA animates some sort of 2 player penalty interaction, you will probably not see a lot of penalties. Been a dozen times I saw defensive linemen jump, but always manage to get back in time. Now that I think about it, I haven't saw offsides called in Madden or NCAA for that matter in years.

It is a shame really considering FIFA has had jostling for years and EA shares tech among all their studios. Makes me wonder why in all these years they never implemented jostling in the Madden series. That would go a long way in producing pass interference, defensive holding, offensive holding, illegal hands to the face type of penalties.

As it stands now on passing plays, it is still nothing but a foot race between 2 players going from point A to point B.

EA UFC dev team has spoiled me with all the massive amount of stuff they patched in within 2 patches, from new animations to completely changing the AI behavior in different situations. So if they can do it, I know Madden can do it if they really wanted to.

So far this is the biggest let down of current gen gaming. Still getting Madden games with no penalties being called. With all the RAM and CPU power these consoles have, I thought for sure we would have working penalties.

I have all my penalties at 51 and I have seen multiple holdings call especially 1 on a TD run...boy, that felt good...have not seen that in a while and I actually got a personal foul unnecessary roughness call..wow

Re: Penalties - Have You Seen Any?!

The problem is on current gen I always could get a ton of holding and clipping penalties before by raising the slider above 60. Now I have them at 100 and I've seen one.

I think it has to do more with the addition of the OL/DL interaction that is causing the lack of holding/clipping calls. Thats the only thing involving the OL thats changed this year.
