Fumbles

Anyone seeing fumbles in this game? I am talking about the ball being on the turf 2 or 3 times a game. If so, what sliders are you using.

Not a lot of fumbles this year. The only way to see them without using that cheesy strip ball game plan is the hit stick. Make sure you hit bigger guys low and smaller guys high with big hitting defenders.

Actually I am just as concerned about the human player not fumbling as I am making the AI fumble.

I have a friend of mine who has fumbled 7 times in the past 2 games. He's a level 9 and hardly ever fumbles, so maybe there is an excess of fumbles going on?

Very true. I started a thread on this subject weeks ago but most users liked the lack of fumbling which I found hard to understand. This game has always been unbalanced in the TO department. Too many INTs and not enough fumbles, but the lack of fumbles this year is glaring.

Dang, thats what I was afraid of. Too bad.

I can think of two fumbles in the month I've had the game. I like it. Anything that encourages less luck and more skill is good in my book. Lost to too many cheesers last year only because they would get a lucky fumble.

I've been very disappointed with the lack of fumbles (mostly for my guys) in this game. Here are my rushers in my dynasty through 5.5 seasons sorted by carries. The only ones with fumbles are my QBs (Mosley, Robinson, Gardner). Even though my QBs have tons of fumbles, I'd guess that 40-50% of those are on bad pitches (I'm a run-first spread option guy that runs the ball 60+% of the time).

The #1 ball carrier in my dynasty ran the ball 354 freaking times without ever once putting the ball on the ground. He was a power back who ran mostly between the tackles and that simply shouldn't happen.
