This comment bugs me. Our alliance spent a lot of time on strategy for each match and we built strategies that would avoid penalties. We made sure drive teams knew what to avoid and that human players were paying attention. Avoiding penalties in this game is similar to penalties in a close hockey game, when you are rushed and stressed to get points you have to take risks that may result in penalties. If you are comfortable in the lead you can take less risks and avoid penalties. I believe our alliance didn't get a signal foul throughout eliminations.

edit- For those wanting to watch the penalties in SF1-2 you can see it here http://www.watchfirstnow.com/archives/88533519 (possession call around 1:30, pin call slightly after)
