penalties are broken because there are no penalties from CPU except crosschecking working right.
So many penalties are 5 minutes too.
It look as any mistake from developers.
I hope patch will come soon.
Community ManagerHi there. Can you get videos of the penalties not happening? If so, please put them up somewhere they can be streamed and respond with a link. Thanks!
Not sure if you’re trolling us there’s a whole other thread about penalties being nonexistent. And it’s kinda hard to show you a video of penalties not happening when they are not happening 🤦♂️

Community ManagerIt was mentioned there were a lot of 5 minute penalties.
If you can get a screenshot of post game stats showing no penalties, that would be fine.
Community ManagerI still need a screenshot showing no penalties are being taken.
Look at the other thread about no penalties there are vids on that, there are no stick penalties, I've had one or 2 x checking but no trip, slash or hooking in 7 mins periods in franchise. The pens in 25 were fine, no stick pens are a game breaker it needs sorting as a priority or it's back to nhl25 for £62 for this is not acceptable.
There are almost zero zero charging penalties called, guys round around with Chara and Pronger and almost never get called for charging ,game has become NHL hitz and a disgrace to hockey
it is not possible make an video about non penalty count. this engine does not allow any stick on the stick movement as any penalty result.
it look as stick on the body collision movement is completely off this year. there is no penalty hooking slashing tripping.
5 minutes major I have 1 per game as minimum. Yes I can do any screenshot but by me it is not important how you can read this information.
important si only this: "penalties are broken this year"
There are penalties like hooking/tripping....but rare. In general there is a lack of penalties on max settings as a whole.
Hi sticking/Slashing I can confirm are currently non existent. Just try to stick lift all game long, u will not see any slash/hi stick infractions.
Other than penalties however, offline is good with proper sliders. Which kinda makes the penalty issue even more frustrating lol.
I agree, the lack of penalties during games is really putting me off playing at this moment.
In NHL 25, this wasn't a problem in every game (7-minute periods), I had about 8-9 penalties (both teams).
Now I barely have 2. I have PENALTIES set to 4/4 in the rules and 100% slider for all penalties...
It seems strange in franchise stats when I have 11 power plays in 6 games.
As I said, there was no problem with the number of penalties in NHL 25.
