Penalties seem the same to me.
Only change I've seen with this patch are the numbers on helmets.
I think you guys are placeboing.

I've had a game post-patch where I had 5 penalties combined in one period. I've played over 80 games of NHL 12 and I never had that happen pre-patch. That's not placebo at all.

I just played a BAGM game (no patch) where I had 1 penalty and the CPU took 6. I honestly don't think they did anything with penalties, but only EA really knows since nothing was mentioned in the patch notes.
I think I'll have to bust this back out and see for myself about the penalties. I shelved it because of this issue, though I check in from time to time to see if it's been fixed. But right now, it seems some people are seeing more and some are seeing the same.

Yeah, there's somethings I wish were different, but I normally get a satisfying game of video hockey outta this game. Of course I wish it was an outstanding experience....but being 'satisfied", isn't all that bad a place to be with a video game, imo.
Heck...I play the game as much as I have time for. So that pretty much says it all.
in my BaGM, after the experiencing 6 pens called in 1 game, after playing 4 games i only encountered only 2 penalties total!!! in those 4 games, i played 3 teams in my division.... supposed to have at least 2 pens per game there... but only 1 was called.
i was excited at first that im finding there are penalties being called. (im not picky... even 2 pens per game for me is acceptable) but now im finding myself wiht the same frustration pre-patch.

I Notice before the patch I would recieve trade offers daily. Maybe 1-2 trade offers a day. Now I don't get any... it must be the patch. I dont have a problem with it really, cause they were never good offers but it was just something I have noticed.

In regards to penalties:
Honestly - I think the penalty issue is based on user play style. If you rush down the ice and try to pass once and shoot, you aren't going to get any penalties. Penalties are created in hockey by tired players for the most part, and tired players are created by offensive zone possession.
Rush players just aren't going to see as many penalties, and the stat I would like to see is the Offensive Zone Possession Time ratio to Penalties.

The one thing I know is this: I use the Caps. I often get into the "rush up the ice and use my skill players" rut, and I started losing and couldn't figure out why. Then I looked at stats: my offensive zone TOP and my penalties were way down.
Sometimes the answer you're looking for is the one staring you in the face: maybe on ice strategy needs to change...not sliders.

I think my fatigue is set to 4/4 or something like that and I'm happy with what I'm averaging for 10 minute periods.

Yep, I do quite a bit of looking for that one open pass and shoot, type of rush up ice. And I have noticed when I do try to stick-handle my way through defenders...ie, move my feet, I do draw more penalties.
I couldn't agree more. Since upping the fatigue slider and slowing down my play I'm also seeing more penalties. I still give away more than the CPU but its a rather large improvement.
I feel sheepish for writing this game off a few days ago because it's now starting to really click with me.

I played a couple of games last night, my first games for sometime and they both reminded me of why I bought the game in the first place. They were just great, excitement filled fast paced games, a 5-3 and a 7-4 with 6 penalties called in each game.
I've said before that the only gameplay issues I have with this game are penalties and pass reception, other than that I think it's a very good game to play.
Whether the patch has done anything to penalties or not I don't know but what I did notice was that whereas some calls were being missed when I last played these same calls were being made last night.
The most important thing I think when playing is as others have said enjoying the game and last night I did just that, hopefully that continues.

I'm going to try the fatigue thing when I get a chance....been so pissed at this game and been hooked on Skyrim so it fell to the wayside. I will say I always try and cycle the puck, work behind the net, and set up plays and still do not draw penalties. I'm glad its working for some of you and the rest of us can only hope....the truth is though its still a broken aspect of the game. It never mattered what style or how you played in the past and was never a problem in past games, nor was it a problem pre patches so its so damn annoying that its not addressed by EA. I will say the fact that some of you are getting it to work better is hope for the rest of us but I'm weary of trying to hash it out. I hope this fatigue thing works for me otherwise I may abandon my season for the first time in about 16 years......
