Does anyone know what drives the frequency of false start penalties?   I hardly see false starts by my opponents.  

Most of my online play is house rules and I literally average at least one per 2 quarter game and that is without hot routing.  I literally get them just shifting the line or max protect.  I am at a loss of how to avoid and was wondering if this was driven by the QB attributes, lineman, play type, other?  Do others have false starts frequently?  

Some of my opponents are hot routing 4-8 times pre-snap and never get a false start.  Any suggestions appreciated

EA DDA just trying to make a buck off you that’s all. Simple. EA should just be transparent about it at this point

You might have players with the trait Penalty: undisciplined, also if you do multiple audibles or do multiple hot routes with a few seconds left on the play clock you will get a false start

It’s absurd how long it takes to just snap the fucking ball if you’re not in hurry up.

I don't usually do multiples when it happens but it is late in the play clock.  Will have a look at my lineman...    Thanks for the info.
