Madden NFL 16: A Deeper Look At Penalties

Re: Madden NFL 16: A Deeper Look At Penalties

Okay so they do only go in ticks of 5, that's what I thought.

Yup.

15min qtr. 13 sec acc clock. Im pitt up 14-7.
7 penaltie total. 3 were block int he back, two of those on returns one for each of us. Out of 8 total returns. Holding calls on each that were drive killers.
And a facemask i think. I had 15 to their 13 rushes, 16 to 18 passes. So about 30 plays each. Would like to see more secondary calls but there hasnt been much action to the wrs outside the hashes.the TEs are the leading recievers.

As far as general impressions go. Thank god the cpu qbs have brains now. Flacco had a sick spin out of a sack and was avoidin pressure intelligently. Threw the ball away. Only took one sack and barely got rid of another that couldve been. I think on some of those plays defensive holding wouldve been called with the extra time he bought but its all good. Love the feel.

Good to know, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Would love to just hear some general impressions and tallies of penalty totals.

I've played one full game of Cowboys-Dolphins (124 plays) with everything on 50. Saw 4 Offensive holding, 1 DEFENSIVE holding, and 1 glitched encroachment.

Sweet on all the holdings. I haven't seen a defensive holding yet. In the replay did it look legit or did you not check it out? My early feeling is only a couple things will need to be boosted +5.

Re: Madden NFL 16: A Deeper Look At Penalties

Yeah, this is true, only ticks of 5.

I've played 2 games of default penalty sliders and one game with the sliders at 55. There were more penalties called on 55, but RTP was a bit over powered on 55. I think there was at least 3-4 RTP penalties called with the slider at 55.

It's true but only on the main screen. If you're inside cfm, you can adjust in increments of 1 instead of 5. No idea why.

Thanks for the tip, that is interesting.

Yeah, I noticed it earlier. Also it looks like the offensive holding slider is bugged. No matter what you change it to, it will go back to default of 50.

Yeah, it was legit. It was along the sideline on a press, Carr grabbed onto Jennings trying to slow him down and just wouldn't let go until about 10 yards.

Actually, I just remembered I took a video of it. Not a close up, but if you look closely on the left that's where it happened.

Weird, why would that be the case? WEIRD. Good knowledge on the increments.

Bummer on the offensive holding slider bug.

Nice yeah he's definitely still tugging beyond the five yards.

Re: Madden NFL 16: A Deeper Look At Penalties

I have only played 1 game with all penalties sliders at default 50 and I had 8 penalties but 4 of them where glitched encroachment so that is not good. So really I only had 4 penalties. I had 1 PI on me and 1 holding on offensive. The CPU and 1 offside and one fail start and that was it in a 15 minute game with accelerated clock at 15 and like 136 plays.

Re: Madden NFL 16: A Deeper Look At Penalties

So have we decided on a good set of penalty sliders yet

Re: Madden NFL 16: A Deeper Look At Penalties

Illegal Touching nullifying a Dez Bryant TD (he stepped OB and came back in prior to making the catch). No close up of this either, there was no replay available.

Re: Madden NFL 16: A Deeper Look At Penalties

Played an entire game online and didnt see one penalty, it was an unranked game, but still. With all this penalty hype I would have thought I'd see at least one.

If you've been reading all the hype, you should know that the penalties are toned way down for online head to head play. It's not going to be like offline, which is where myself and many others are seeing the penalties.

The online Madden community (CFM excluded) still does not want random penalties affecting their games. The devs allowing them to work properly in offline and CFM is an olive branch of sorts.

Re: Madden NFL 16: A Deeper Look At Penalties

Tried to play one game with the sliders all cranked up to 100. Could barely get through the first quarter because all the stoppages became annoying, haha. Good problem to have as the sliders definitely work. Nothing exciting from an animation standpoint. Many of the penalties were offensive line holding calls, mixed in with a few blocks in the back and one or two QB roughing flops.

Really interested in playing around with these a little more tomorrow.

Re: Madden NFL 16: A Deeper Look At Penalties

So I just played my second game a crazy 41-34 game where I was up by 14 blew the lead and then scored to take the lead back with about a minute left. But any way I had 18 penalties in the game CPU had 8 and I had 10. I had like 6 in the 3erd quarter and that really killed me. I had 2 holdings on the same drive and in the quarter I also got called for PI and offside like twice and a face mask like 1 or 2 times. This was with ever thing I think at 60 out side of holding left that at 50 and I think I left roughing the kick and QB at 50. Even in the past holding if you put it to much higher then 50 you would get holding calls like 3 plays and kind of the same with roughing the kick to so that is why I kept those at 50. In the past about the only thing you would ever see called is roughing the kick or QB and holding and like nothing else. I have now seen 2 PI on d both where by me and granted I only played madden 15 for like 2 maybe 3 months but in that time I never saw a single PI either way even with that slider at 100 last year. I have yet to see a holding call vs the d though.
