Re: Official petition to remove the visible fumble meter!

I guess we will have a ton more fumbles this year so they can show off their new fumble button mashing arcade mini game . I hope they somehow tie this in to a players awareness rating. I'm not good at button mashing so I guess I'll be losing ever fumble. After awhile I'll probably even stop trying to get them.

Re: Official petition to remove the visible fumble meter!

Slightly off topic, but if I am the home team and I win the fumble at the bottom of the pileup, whenever I show the ball to the crowd i want to hear an "EXPLOSION" in the stands... ESP if it is a pivotal play

I really don't like the meter though. Just a scenario I'm considering when making myy initial judgement, but it seems like if I'm the giants and Justin Tuck is the first to the ball and at the bottom of the pile, another user with Maclin or Desean Jackson would be able to take the ball away from Tuck at the bottom of the pile because they pressed a button faster? Not very realistic if you ask me...

+1, I agree! Ian or Phil any comments on this ? Are the players that are in the pile up going to have any effect on the outcome ? Will I be able to recover fumbles in the pile with a kicker ?

It still won't be 100% conclusive until the ref announces it which leaves the suspense intact.
