Lack of Penalites
Would someone from EA Sports please address the issue of lack of penalties in the game ? This has been an issue for years. Can someone please let us know you at least hear us on this issue ?

Just cause I'm curious, what are you considering a lack of penalties? I'm an online player so we play 4 minute periods, roughly 1/5 of an nhl game (60 minutes) and the NHL averages 11.8 penalties per game, (7 in just the regular season, depending on where you want to take your numbers from). This would roughly be 2.4 (1.4) a game for us, and while yes penalty time is shortened I don't think 24 minutes of penalty time for a video game would be fun for players. I will admit some guys naturally know not to hit certain buttons when their attributes are low and be more disciplined but I would say this is a pretty accurate and fair number to aim for. Not to mention I would say to also keep the game fun for players, yet competitive and disciplined EA wouldn't want them in the box for half a game. Just my thoughts, I understand not everyone thinks this way.
