Will "fight for the fumble" go down as the worst new feature ever in Madden?

This isn't even nit-picking. This is the first F4F I ever was involved in.

In the NFL, that turns into a scrum. If a player is within arms reach of a fumble, you can best bet there is gonna be a fight for it, even if a player already has possession.

Create-a-fan. Worst. Idea. Ever.

If the answer to my question is yes, every fumble is contested this way, I will rest my case on this feature being one of the worst ever. If not, I will consider it a polarizing feature and give it more time to see how it shakes out before turning it off instantly once I boot up the full retail game.

No, it doesnt happen every fumble. Iv played the demo maybe, 15, 20 times, had the "fight" happen twice.

I;ve played about 10 games. 0 FIght for the fumbles.

My secret.

Cover up the ball!. Lol not really.

How can it possibly compete with weapons? I will be turning the feature off though. :-)

Seriously? You just guaranteed that that particular play would turn into a srcrum?

Not once in my days watching the NFL have I once seen a player laying on the ground with both hands on the ball like that turn into a F4F.

I'm out.

EA really is creative when it comes to "features".

I would like them to be more creative with the sim aspects and physics of the game. .....


Can't wait!

Personally I don't care for this button mashing feature.

And thankfully this years dev team had the commonsense to provide a on/off option. So no complaints from me.
