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. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Agreed Mil, this is something I've mentioned quite a few times already.

In many ways Mill.... I'm guilty as charged.

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......

I'm not entirely convinced some of the people on this board aren't working for EA!

The latest tuner i see when i set up the Gameplay settings is 1.02. is that correct? And also does anyone know if the Flyers/Rangers winter Classic jersey were released for download? bc i played a couple different teams on EASHL that had the Flyers Winter Classic Jersey.
