This is my biggest problem with the game... And really my only problem. Minus CF Freezes

I find both these posts interesting. I agree with you guys that there should be penalties in online games. Is this different or the same as blown calls though? Like getting a challenge wrong or something, do you feel wronged by that even if sometimes you think refs in real life blow calls? Or is this okay because you see the penalty occur via an animation, but with a blown call it just shouldn't happen?

Again, always interesting to see sample size things. Again, via this test with holding at 60 I saw plenty of holding calls. Let alone at 70.

Yeah I haven't felt like CPU is always getting fewer calls in my games, the opposite as well.

I assume he means Roughing the Passer as that's the only "roughing" penalty slider in the game.

I posted this in the bugs thread but the defensive holding slider is broken in CFM. You can set it, leave the settings and go right back in and it is at 50. the other sliders appear to work as cosmetically their values change and I see them called during the game but i have yet to see a defensive holding called at 50 and I can't change it.

Otherwise I love them during the game, they have cost me and helped me at times. Getting a big DPI called for you is fantastic.

Please Chase pass this on. Game feels incomplete in h2h matches due to lack of penalties - I mean what's the point of adding the new catch stuff in if no offensive and defensive PI calls are made online?


As of right now I have to share play with friends to play with penalties - that's crap.

I think this thread itself will pass it on but yeah it's noted. I still don't think offensive PI really matters much in the game either way though -- and there's no slider for it.

This was a nice sight - this play DID NOT trigger Pass Interference:



Why is that significant? Because I've seen this same animation result in a flag several times. So, even though the animation might trigger, it's not always going to be called.

For testing purposes, everything was on 50 in online CFM.
