Fumbles are out of control and this year.

It is CRUCIAL you hold RB when you’re about to be hit. Perhaps OP isn’t protecting the ball by holding down RB just before being hit?

At 50 I had more of an issue with the CPU fumbling to much, especially QBs. Do you have any issues with that?

I'm on AP default 50 slider and it seems spot on for me. I fumble 1-2 times a game and the CPU the same.

I thought it was the other way I lower mine to 5 and I never fumble

That needs to change.

Yeah the X factor fumbles are the ones that kill the realism for me. It rare that a fumble gets caused by a WWE style flying shoulder in real life, more often than not it’s from a ball carrier running towards multiple defenders and someone is grabbing or punching at the ball

But that’s not realistic. That’s not why most players are going to avoid running by anyone typically, because they make people fumble 2 - 3 times a game. They’ll avoid a hard hitter, sure, but who’s forcing multiple fumbles EVERY game irl?

A lot of you guys never really paid attention to this, but in the past Madden’s you should have been avoiding guys like Wagner because you can’t break their tackles as easy as others. I’ve been avoiding great tacklers in Madden for a long time because of this.

These extreme cases of one player causing multiple fumbles every game are totally unnecessary and should not be justified. We don’t need extreme cases like this, but unfortunately people never notice the settle things that made defensive players dangerous.

Agreed. And no I never noticed in previous titles a real stand out tackling machine. They definitely need to adjust the gameplay.
