Is that per team per game or total? That seems too low to be total.

It is. Last five years...

2014: 6.6 p/g
2013: 6.07 p/g
2012: 6.21 p/g
2011: 6.31 p/g
2010: 6.02 p/g

That is strictly enforced penalties. Declined and Offset aren't included. If they were...

2014: 7.95 p/g
2013: 6.8 p/g
2012: 7.1 p/g
2011: 7.29 p/g
2010: 6.95 p/g

I'd rather see no penalties, than randomly generated clipping calls 2.3 Times per game.


If it's truly bang I hit him out of bounds then great. If instead I sack Aaron Rodgers on 4th down, only to be called for a random facemask when all I did was press "A", then no thanks.


I'm fine with no penalties ever being called in M15; I care more about the gameplay

I noticed this also, hopefully offensive Pass Interference penalty will work correctly.

Arent penalties a part of gameplay? Also, you know you can just turn the penalties off if you want, right?

I'm glad that the majority of players dont take this point of view.

OPI is mentioned in the offense blog. Its in the game.

Interesting... good insight. I was expecting it to be 10-12.

I didn't see that you were asking if it was per game per team or total in your first post. I thought you were just asking if it was per game per team which is what I posted. My bad on that. But per game for both teams would be in that 12-14 range when you include the declined and offsetting calls.
