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

[kaletore11]

If they get the penalties right, that will be huge for me.

I've given up on QB animations and lifelike movement of players, but penalties are #2 on my wishlist.

Would like to know if there are offsetting penalties.

Interested in unnecessary roughness. Is it going to still be the late hit out of bounds that happened once in a blue moon in 16? The screen with Harry Douglas seems to imply there could be some post-whistle unnecessary roughness maybe (hopefully!)?

If everything in the blogs is actually in the game that will more than make up for those crappy screenshots and lack of CFM updates.

I'm very excited to see how the penalties are tuned. If done right this will definitely be a bonus for the community. A question that comes to mind, does anyone know if the new PAT/2 Pt conversion rules are in the game this year?

Having penalties is a dream come true if there is a way to turn them OFF. Imagine, the realism crowd, the play now crowd, and the tourney crowd happy with how penalties are implemented.

Now if they can create a flexible injury system.......(Any blogs have injury info that I may have missed?)

Quote:

New extra point rules are in! After scoring a TD, players can kick the PAT from the 15-yard line, or attempt the two-point conversion from the 2. The new rules also allow the defense to score two points on returns. Penalties are fully supported on these plays, so teams can change their decision if a penalty occurs.

From the gameplay blog.

I hope it works as advertised. Half of the penalty types never occurred in the past and the other half rarely occurred, which destroys the simulation aspect of the game.
