If they edited the formula, I'd guess yes. This is what excites me the most as I rarely use the hit stick to begin with.



Looking forward to diving into the game following this patch.

This sounds amazing... I stop playing after a game where my running back fumbled 3 straight times after hits by linemen. Smart move here.

Get rid of the hit power rating, make use of the big hitter trait and grant those guys contextual animations when the speed and momentum lines up during gameplay. The hit stick has never been a skill mechanic as it's always been so heavily geared towards success that there's never been a reason not to use it. I don't know how much this will change things but I've been routinely dropping TE's and RB's with my corners like it's nothing so hopefully it will cut down on some of that and be more risk/reward.

I don't know what game you are playing; it's way easy to mistime a hit stick in M19 and the consequences are dire. The same was true last year.

I played 2 solo battles last night and 87 overall Champ Bailey fumbled 4 times on kick returns after getting hit sticked. I know there is some cheese on this mode and I was on all madden but it was still a little concerning. I think they may need to look into returners carry ratings.

This has been a huge tweak and I love it. Another sim move IMO.......it is so much better now.

The CPU is still landing way too many hit sticks on All-Madden. I got hit sticked by Josh Lambo last night
