Re: Madden NFL 16: Penalties Are Finally Going to Be a Thing

Clint Oldenburg told me repeatedly that gameplay sliders only affected gameplay, penalty sliders only affect penalties, and all sliders operate the same in every mode of the game. He specifically said there is "no difference" (his words, he invited me to quote him haha) in function of gameplay sliders in Play Now and Connected Franchise (I specifically asked about that).

It's good to hear a dev officially discus sliders at all, in any capacity, so that's great

Really excited to play. Along with the fear of penalties finally, hoping the AI does all the new catches etc.. on own and I can have a great SP experience.

Good news. I'm ready to play!

So does this mean we will see improvements with the auto sub sliders as well? Any chance we can get confirmation on this?

I do not have a Twitter account, nor do I want one. Any chance you could drop a line to him?

Does anyone mention how they are going to separate the penalty sliders from having a dramatic effect on the gameplay?

I predict ppl will complain about penalties happening too frequently that EA will patch it and make penalties like years past. Lol

If the sliders work it won't matter. I highly doubt they would fix the sliders and then break them again, which is what it would take to make them like years past. They may tune them down but I don't see them breaking them the way they used to be. Since penalties are basically off in modes like Draft Champions and MUT, I don't see it being that much of an issue.

The only ones that would complain would be the online rank guys etc.. and penalties aren't on for those games I believe.
Not to mention that CM said the sldiers do work and so if need be set them to 0 for least affect.

I created a twitter basically for the sole purpose of asking Clint questions.
It is well worth it I think.

Re: Madden NFL 16: Penalties Are Finally Going to Be a Thing

Not sure if this was asked? But did they add any penalties to the list that's in Madden?

Because I know I have seen couple called that wasent listed like illegal touching and late hit out of bounds.

Was just curious if they added any or tweaked ones that aren't listed.

Re: Madden NFL 16: Penalties Are Finally Going to Be a Thing

The list of new and updated penalties includes:

Encroachment, False Start, Offensive Holding, Facemask, Defensive Pass Interference, Illegal Block in the Back, Neutral Zone Infraction, Defensive Holding, Illegal Forward Pass, Illegal Touching, Delay of Game, Kick Catch Interference Running into the Kicker, Unnecessary Roughness and Roughing the Passer.

Penalty rating...

Oh man, poor Jets players. Buster Skrine will give you a preview of things to come.

So you can get a penalty for hit sticking a WR who dares to come over the middle? If so that is pretty lame, for us online CFM guys.
