    QB Fumble Issues

    I'm having trouble with quarterback fumbles. Seems like every time I get hit while throwing the ball he stops throwing, holds the ball a second, then fumbles on the way to the ground.

    I'd prefer if the ball just popped out while the arm is in motion.
    Anyone have a fix in the sliders?

    The sliders will not fix this. Multiple EA developers have confirmed that the fumble is more of an animation fumble than a skill (tackler vs. QB carrying) fumble. It is happening because you are attempting a pass right as you are getting hit by a defender. When I had a chance to exchange some tweets with Clint about this he recommended changing my habit of trying to get a pass off and learning when to take a sack or "give up" on the play to avoid the hit. He also recommended that I improve on my release time so that I am not holding the ball so long.

    This issue has been seen a lot more this year as I think offensive lines are a bit less effective and the community is adjusting to real life drop pack and pocket collapse times. Now that I say that, I would recommend increasing your pass protection slider to give yourself some more time until you can adjust accordingly.

    Hope this helped.

        Thanks for the advice - this is really aggravating.
