Penalties, Finally?

Re: Penalties, Finally?

Has anyone tried changing blocking to aggressive, or changing player traits to ‘undisciplined’? Would this help? Also, does playing pro, all-pro or all-madden make a difference?

I really wish it did but I haven't seen any difference when changing player traits.

Re: Penalties, Finally?

This is not true AT ALL. Go back and play M20 and anything before. There are plenty of penalties. The lack of penalties started with a patch to M21 around November. That patched nerfed penalties and they've never came back.

The point you make is very true. After the patch they felt that penalties slowed down the game and annoyed competitive players.

But i thought that was the whole point of creating three different play styles (simulation, competitive, arcade) Leave the simulation to those of us who truly appreciate it and allow us to immerse ourselves in a real NFL experience. Part of the reason that the game pulls at your heart is due to factors like penalties. Your team makes a big play or scores a touchdown, you're elated. And then that yellow flag comes in and crushes you and you have to start all over again or adjust strategy.
It's funny because the main penalties don't work but if you touch roughing the passer even a smidgen it gets called 10 times in a row. I don't get it.

Re: Penalties, Finally?

I have been getting penalties with them on default sliders but not enough Probably averaging two holding calls a game against me and one pass interference.. I have had three pass interference calls in single game once. I have also seen but not often roughing the passer. I scrambled with my QB once and the defense got called for a late hit as I was out of bounds. That was nice to see. If you want to see more penalties changing the discipline trait of players to undisciplined would probably help a lot.

Re: Penalties, Finally?

NOPE a big fat NOPE.... how can a game made in 2021-22 still lack this, is it cause they are worried it will hurt their golden kids the MUT players and they dont want them to get mad cause their offense gets slowed down by holding calls, or false starts, or that their amazing defenses will get hit with PIs and Facemask ???

Like come on madden, i just did a game.. 10 min qtrs no run off clock, both teams had about 55-60 plays, 2 flags were thrown all game TWO, and one of them i did on purpose.. i ran offsides when the AI was kneeling the ball just for the fun of it... the other penalty was delay of game cause i hit the snap button to late and a guy had to go in motion still and i took a delay of game over using a timeout, sooo yaaaa and even when they are pumped up to 99 mostly all i saw was false starts

Re: Penalties, Finally?

With the latest title update, has anyone noticed a change in the number and/or types of penalties being called?

Came back to this thread for this reason. Since the last update, i have seen a lot more holding calls in my games and i was running all-pro default. i’ve had a small sample size so i can’t make a definitive statement, but i have definitely observed more.

Re: Penalties, Finally?

I hope that ends up being the case; the lack of penalties, the ridiculous interceptions (and the impression from the forums that the sliders basically do not work) have kept me from buying this game so far.

Re: Penalties, Finally?

Months later and they have nerfed penalties even more. Good job providing us a "simulation" game, EA

Has anyone tried changing all players to undisciplined penalty trait to see if that changes anything?

Re: Penalties, Finally?

Same here....I promised myself after last year, I will NEVER buy Madden again until it has basic, realistic football. I'd rather go without than deal with the frustration of not having a realistic experience when playing against CPU or watching a CPU vs CPU game.

1. Fix penalties, illegal contact is a thing....DPI is a thing....your penalty system, not a thing!

2. Fix the two minute drill / time out usage....Seriously? That's the best you can do after 30+ years of developing this game?

3. Fix FGs, stop kicking from places you should punt from....attempts from the 40+ yard line, not a thing unless it's the end of a half....please understand field position and basic football strategy, I mean this IS a FOOTBALL GAME, right? Seems like strategy would matter. You don't see guys in NBA 2K shooting from mid-court do you? So why are you kicking from there?

4. Fix punting in general, they don't kick balls from the 45 OB at the 25, maybe once a season, not twice a game....these guys are professional punters, they can aim.

5. Fix the passing game so the TE doesn't get 15 catches per game while D. Adams gets two balls thrown to him the whole game. If TE2 is getting more targets than WR1, then your game is broken.

Uh, I could go on but said frustration is setting back in!

Please fix this! I'm a Lions fan....I need fake football to be good so my real football isn't so painful!

Zach Wilson to Tyler Conklin 15 catches for 140 yards. It is so frustrating. Tight ends get a free release no matter who you put on coverage. Cover LB, SS, FS, CB. It doesn't matter, any tight end in this game can be Travis Kelce.

Re: Penalties, Finally?

One player with 15 catches......was you using coaching adjustments......the game gives us options to use so that wont happen....u might wanna learn how to make civerage adjustments like press and shading and even highlighting the wr. Do you user ur LB or FS? Also what u pick in ur weekly strategy plays a part in how ur defense responds

It’s hard to play man coverage in this game because of this reason.

If I'm playing against the Bengals with Chase, Boyd, Higgins and Mixon but I still need to make coverage adjustments to stop Hayden Hurst there is something seriously wrong with the game.
