Fumbles

[fistofrage]

I am trying to figure out what to do to cause them because I rarely see them. Is it the Running back ability slider, the tackle slider, or the awareness slider?

I ask this because I am now playing with the AI DEF AWR at 100 and tackling at 60, human RBA is 50. I thought I'd get jacked up for a ton of fumbles, but just down't see it.

i was under the impression that there was a button to strip the ball, but i'm not sure exactly what it is off the top of my head.

The strip button for Xbox 360 is A (not for sure on PS3, but would assume it's X). I never really have much success with it though. The majority of the time I've used it to try and get a strip on the ball carrier I end up with 15yd facemask penalties.

On the other hand, I've seen the computer get some really nice strip animations. For instance, in one game on a kick return they wrapped up my returner. Next thing you see, the guy on his back rips the ball out like you see players due on Saturday and Sunday. Eventhough I was a little ticked, I kept going back over the replay because I couldn't believe how real it looked.

The RBA and TAK have always been the right mix but this year i see less too. Might just be amount was tweaked down after alot of complaints on the past games.

I think it is toned down. I am just trying to give the AI every possible advantage at this point. I have seen quite a few nice strip animations. The punch the ball out from behind is my favorite. I also love it when an end or a LB gets the sack with that spear animation, that can jar the ball out.

play in the rain heh. I had a game today Wash vs. OU and both teams fumbled twice.

Try to use the strip button but also try and time it to strip the player when he first receives the pass or run.

There just aren't many fumbles this year which I don't have a real problem with. I think both myself and the cpu average about 0.2 a game according to my user stats. I'd rather have it too low than last year where I felt it was too high. The simple and easy solution is a fumble slider.

I did muff a punt and fumble the next kickoff last night which really hurt me in my lost to Texas. It felt like the Michigan-ND game as I was down 17-0 after the first quarter.
