EA... If you still care about NHL 12, please FIX PENALTIES

[mkharsh33]

Like the title says...

This game demands and deserves another patch. I'm an OFFLINE player, and I want to enjoy this game. I understand it will never be 100% simulation, and I've given up on this concept.

But please, please, please... Can this game be patched so MORE penalties with MORE variety get called??

Redshirt...anyone!! I'm not being critical, I'm just asking a favor. I don't know why it appears that EA has given up on this year's title and I'd also like to see more communication here (as in past years). I'm seeing a HUGE disconnect between EA and the gaming community. There's a LOT I'd love to see tweaked/fixed, but if you could at least give me more penalties then I'll just take that and be satisfied.

(PLEASE: if anyone chimes in on this thread, do NOT spout about OTHER items you do not like. I just want this to focus on penalties... Are you seeing a variety? What kinds get called? Have you received any 5 minute majors? Any game misconducts? Any kind of penalties you've NEVER seen called?). Thanks!

I agree.
All it seems to be is tripping and slashing.
Since the patch that got rid of the over abundance of boarding, i haven't even gotten one in at least 10 games. I haven't seen a game misconduct in about a month, until tonight where there was one given out for hitting from behind...
Sadly it was the same bump that was called interference all the time pre-patch.

NHL 12 penalties i saw

Far too Many

-Goaltender delay of game (Improved after patch)

Majority

-Goaltender Interference
-Hooking
-Slashing
-High Sticking

Sometimes

-Interference
-Tripping
-Delay of game

Once in a Blue Moon

-Boarding
-High sticking (4:00 minutes)
-5 minute majors
-Game misconduct
-Cross checking (Mostly after the whistle)



Cant think of anymore but i hope this is what you are looking for MK.

If your wondering why the devs no longer post here just do a search for "idiots" in this forum and you'll find out why.

If they still cared about the game, the would fix the freezes first. However, I know it probably isn't up to the developers whether the game is patched again or not. The penalties might be able to be fixed with a tuner though.

ha.

such a shame if they dont post here no more bc they cant handle the heat so to speak. shows ya what type of buds they are. the wwe 12 dev's are getting hammered at caws/ws and they are still typing away and being involved in those same threads etc. heck, in past 2 days they took more heat than any nhl dev ever has..

3 plus years of same issues etc, that they ignore so to speak.. thats why they dont come here, bc its like a broken record. they tired of hearing it.

In all honesty, it isn't so much some being idiots, criticism is needed, bottom line... Like Jack Nicholson said to Tom Cruise "You can't handle the truth", meaning, the devs know this years game is a POS and if I f'd up, I would ignore it too from shame... People bow down to the developers to often... If they can't take the heat, get out of the hockey kitchen and let someone who does care take it over... They had the penalties right the past two years, so they change it this year, REALLY???? Why???? Because they cater to the exploiters, always have, always will, patches are evidence of that...
