Penalty frequency set to 3/4.

CPU penalties dialed up to 100. Human penalties and CPU teammate penalties both dialed down to 20. 

And yet…

Games end with me having on average 4 penalties and 0 power plays. I get tripped, hooked, and high sticked but penalties are never called on the CPU.

32 games in, and I am 32nd in power play opportunities. I have totaled 77, and thats only because of simming. During games I play I get 0 PP opportunites. The team with the most PP opportunities has 124.

Something is clearly wrong here and it’s frustrating.

I mean look at the attached photos. The stick is through my thigh, between my skates and I’m getting mounted from behind. NO PENALTY CALLED.

How does stuff like this make it by testing?? Seriously!?!
