What button is it to switch arms?

On the 360, it's A...the stiff arm button.

Stiff-arm (A on 360).

I really haven't seen a problem. I've only played maybe 6 or 7 entire games, though, so maybe I just haven't gone across it yet.

I do run pretty conservative though. I take what I can get most of the time and I'll settle for a 3.5 to 4 yards per pop instead of spinning and juking and taking the chance at losing yardage.

I don't see a problem either. I just think this is the first year the game has modeled the fumbles more accurately and people aren't used to it.

Thanks, probably X on the PS3 then.

Haven't noticed many fumbles in the game. I remember seeing a lot in the demo, but not many now that I am in the second year of my dynasty. I believe it takes a bit to get used to not juking all of the place like they could in previous games.

I was fumbling 4-5 times a game my first few games with the demo. After that, I started using the protect the ball button and my running back has fumbled only once or twice since then, so it's definitely made a difference for me. Now, if there was only a protect the ball button for reducing the INT's.......

If anything I haven't seen enough fumbles in this game. The CPU never fumbles and I cough it up once every other game or so.
