Problem with fumbles

[dman08]

I don't know if its just me but anytime there's a fumble and that team recovers their own fumble the play is blown dead without even being tackled. Is this happening to any1 else?

happened to me once, but i think it could be because you arent allowed to advance a fumble.

so if you fumble forward, and your team recovers. by rule, your down.

something to that affect, i could be wrong.

You're right and even if say your QB fumbles and an o-lineman gets it they are usually just gonna jump on it and give themselves up. Not always but most of the time. I'm glad the whistle blows I don't want my lineman running with the ball.
