fumbling rate

[gplummer317]

I just got the game and have seen a ridiculous amount of fumbles when I try to break tackles. I am playing on all-american with the preset sliders. I am wondering if it is something I am doing or if it is the game. If anyone else has experienced this, suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for the help

Don't push up on the Right Thumbstick, when your about to hit the pile/line in short yardage hold RB to cover up.

thanks. I will try that.

I always set my rushing to conservative in gameplan. I only fumble when I get jacked up coming across the middle with a wide-out or trying to do too much with nothing.

It has a ton to do with your ballcarrier's carry rating. My HB carried the ball almost 300 times for 1,900 yards in one season and didn't fumble the ball once. I don't mean didn't LOSE a fumble, I mean never fumbled period. This on All-American with default RB ability. And I had him plowing for extra yardage all the time.

But if your guys don't have decent carry ratings then definitely cover up the ball, set running to conservative, and don't fight for extra yardage when it's hopeless.

One thing I find is although finding HBs with decent carry ratings isn't that hard, scrambling QBs with good carry ratings is more difficult and they tend to fumble, so be ready to slide down. Even though the game sometimes makes you fumble when you go down intentionally, which is a TERRIBLE thing that they need to fix.

Before I start any dynasty i improve my QBs carry ratings up, they fumble alot. I use to set my rushing to agressive, but then realized i was giving up 3-4 fumbles a game. I only fumble alot during rain games.
