They should but the lack of those two penalties doesnt dim my happiness about the large majority of penalties being added to the game.

Yeah I'm not sure much would "dim" your perception.

Celebrating this just rubbed me the wrong way, it's all good though.

I've been complaining for the past decade on OS and I cranked up the song Celebration earlier here.

I'm happy my request has been heard, finally, if it works as advertised.

I'll go back to the Rex and Clint interview from almost two years ago this upcoming November. He predicted we might see penalties and WR/DB interactions in the next few years.

I will give them props if they work as advertised.

Yeah lets just ignore the angry posts I've made about CCM and EA's refusal to add features like Formation Subs. When you do that its easier to paint it as if I love Madden no matter what. LOL. Too bad my actual posts dont back up your argument.

Keep pushing that agenda though.

Offsetting does though whether you realize it or not and potentially even more so with these other, thankfully, added/fixed ones. If I'm not mistaken, along with offsetting, simultaneous penalties aren't possible, so even playing the CPU, any one penalty, would prevent another. That's unfortunate if say you draw on offsides on the CPU and then smartly decide to take a shot deep, if your intended receiver gets mauled, circa the new wr/db interactions, there cant be a DPI call and any number of other similar scenarios.

The point being offsetting and multiple penalties are integral parts of the penalty system being complete, them missing diminishes that aspect.

FYI, my posts werent about offsetting penalties. It was about chop blocks and illegal man downfield not being added to the game. My comment in that post about offsetting penalties was just to inform GiantBlue that they werent in the game.

Not sure if it's ok to be happy about something Madden related or not. but, I'm glad they finally did something with penalties. Hopefully this is just the start. Also glad the penalty sliders work now. If the info is true.

I hope that also means all sliders work.

Exactly. They obviously don't have a great track record of things working as advertised, so I'm hoping to see a higher percentage of penalties in the E3 videos - moreso to prove that they're in and work in the right situations, and then we can hopefully adjust to realistic with sliders from there.

Offsetting penalties happen ~5 times per year per team, as of 2014. That's with the uptick in certain penalties being called, it was less than 1 per team in 2013.

Diminish the system, sure, I guess. But they won't be missed for the most part.
