Right - My only wonder if my overall stats are not up the same level of those guys, I'm only an 84 overall and I think my strength is only a 75. All I'm wondering is if with many ball carriers now holding onto the ball more when I'm approaching that I just can't jar it loose anymore until I get higher ratings.

I'm thinking I basically gave my player the reputation of a big hitter without the WHOLE package to go along with doing it again because players now know to brace against my tackles at all times.

So your test is only simming though? I don't think the traits help much for sim results. I could be wrong but that is my belief. Now if your results are from playing the games then you should still see some results.

It's also possible most teams have bought the cover ball trait for their main guys.

You should also set the fumble slider low, to 10 or below both human and cpu

I've played about 11-12 games including playoffs since the beginning of season 2.

I need to honestly get a good set of sliders to work with.

What is you strength rating? I've noticed that strength and Big Hitter trait compliment each other well.

You just ultra-necro'd a thread from 2 years ago. Don't think he's been holding his breath for a response.
