As for safeties, our league had two in the first week, and one already in the 2nd week. this seems like a lot.
too many pass interferences, too many safeties

I'm seeing pass interference occur two or three times a game. that rate seems a lot higher than the NFL real world.As for safeties, our league had two in the first week, and one already in the 2nd week. this seems like a lot.

I do not have current data to support the 2-3 per game average that you have observed

In 2004, the average number of interference penalties per game was just under 1 (0.93). It has been historically higher than that. From this ESPN article, you can infer that the number of penalties in 2004 was relatively low and that the league was concerned and started to emphasize it again.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=1840261

I think that the safeties are up because the default settings for the "yellow zone" are really, really pass heavy.

My second game: http://football.simdynasty.com/boxscore.jsp?boxscoreid=1136&thid=117 there were 5 pass interferences.

In that second game, OAK attempted 71 passes and Rochester threw 42 times.
Considering that the NFL record for most pass attempts in a game is 70 (at least, that's what a quick search revealed, maybe not true anymore), I don't think the pass interferences are too high, I just think you have some pass-whacky teams playing there.
The first game had 2 penalties in 49 attempts. It may be slightly high. Does anyone have data from the NFL for this stuff from last season? I'm not having any luck finding it anywhere.

I'll flag this for investigation.
As far as safeties, Hamilton is probably right, my default yellow zone settings are probably not ideal. Plus, in "real life" I think there is an instinctive "buckle down" response in teams with their backs against their own goal line that the simulated players lack. I'm not quite sure what the best course of action to deal with that is.

You are viewing the raw post code; this allows you to copy a message with BBCode formatting intact.
My penalty analysis data shows an average of 1 per game, but of course pass-heavy offenses are going to have more. 2 or even 3 in a game occasionally doesn't worry me (any game involving random numbers will do amazing things eventually); 5 is worrisome.

The code was targeting 2 events per game rather than 1; I am adjusting this.--Chris

By the way, the targeted penalty rates based on my research are listed in the Game Guide in the List of Penalties at http://rules.simdynasty.com/index.php/Sim_Dynasty_Football_Rulebook#List_of_penalties.--Chris
