Lack of fumbles

[Quint75]

I am now up to 19 games, 8 min quarters and still have seen NO fumbles other than by QBs or on botched option pitches. Zero fumbles by HBs. I have had 3 fumbles by HBs that were overturned after review. I did change the facemask slider down to 0 and I am using the default rosters. It really sucks because if you get to a point in a game where either you or the CPU is grinding out the clock trying to hammer out a win, you know there is no way there is gonna be a fumble. Takes away a lot of suspense. I really hate it. Otherwise I am really pretty happy with the gameplay. I am still on my early release practice Dynasty because there is no point in starting the real one until this is fixed.

I guess my next game I will delete the tuner update and see if that helps. Anyone try that yet?

That way we can tweak EVERYBODY'S attributes at once without having to go into rosters and editing each player. So the sliders would look like this: QB arm strength, QB accuracy, QB sack avoidance, QB fumble, etc RB carry, RB fumbles, RB break tackle, RB catch, RB speed, etc WR speed, WR catch, WR fumble, etc, OL run block, OL pass block, OL holding, etc DE awareness, DE run stop, DE pass rush, DE INT, DE pass breakup, etc DT awareness, DT run stop, DT pass rush, DT INT, DT pass breakup, etc, LB awareness, run stop, pass rush, INT, pass breakup, tackling, etc, CB awareness, run stop, pass rush, tackling, etc, etc, etc Safeties awareness, run play reaction, tackling, INT's etc. If we could have sliders for every position on the field instead of just one slider for tackling and another for interceptions, that would be awesome! Because as it is, linebackers are way too good at INT's regardless of where you put the interception slider. And it would be nice to lower CB tackling ability without it also affecting the D-line.

I like this idea in theory. But that's a lot of information to sift through. They may parlay a few of those into one and make the idea work. Fumbling and catching ability could be one shared attribute. If your player has good hands they would fumble less and probably drop fewer passes. Things like that.

I haven't had the chance to play with this but it may be worth a try.

The problem I have with that is I get horse collar tackled a lot. There isn't a horse collar slider so I've adjusted my facemask slider to try and compensate for the difference.

Seen several, about 5 in 9 games. Just fumbled against UAB as UTEP in my dynasty with my impact QB to lose the game. No issues.

Just had a guy in our OD have James White (Wisconsin HB) fumble. I have also fumbled with my HB. We are like 2-3 games into the OD.

In real life, There are an average of 1.6 fumbles per team per game. So 3.2 fumbles per game on average. 1.7 lost per game.

The amount of fumbles in this game is near non-existant and way too low.

Have played 3 games in our OD and have seen 4 fumbles so far. One by HB, two by QB, and one on a WR Screen, which my CB jumped and dropped the pick but was picked up by my LB, ruled a backwards pass.

One or two fumbles a game is perfect IMO..three or four a game and it becomes "arcade-y", I think.

I have no idea how people are seeing fumbles. The only one's I've seen are botched pitches or overturned plays. I think I read something somewhere that a very low tackle slider actually increases fumbles but I haven't tested that yet.
