Flopping was supposed to be punished after the fact with a fine, but it was rarely enforced. If they can't enforce it with the benefit of hindsight, how are they going to enforce it in real-time?

Honestly I like enforcing it after the fact. If it's in real time, feels like it's just another tool for refs to use to take over the game.

This is my concern as well. Sure there will be some pretty obvious calls, but there are definitely going to be a bunch of BS flopping calls as well. It's also quite obvious that the refs will be completely incapable of enforcing this consistently since they currently fall for flopping antics all the time.
