Strip Aggressive - not as potent this year?

[nortobc]

I have noticed that the Strip Aggressive Game Plan feature is not as effective this year. I'm very happy that they toned it down, but can others confirm my finding? Is anybody seeing as many fumbles as last year when strip ball is set to aggressive?

Also, I noticed that the runner actually shrugs off the defender faster and it doesn't impede his running as much. Last year, even if you didn't strip the ball, the runner would basically stop dead in his tracks because the strip animation would stop him.

still too overpowered... there is very little downside to using it.

we tested it in our OD in week 1 and pretty much every user had at least 3 fumbles caused. I had the most with 6 fumbles forced and 4 recovered, I also only counted 3 broken tackles with only 1 of those actually resulting in extra yardage(5 yards due to missed tackle).

the gameplan adjustments are fubar, there is no downside to making nearly all defensive adjustments to aggressive and making offensive to either agg or conservative like ball catching... sure the ball carrier doesn't get slowed down as much but it is still enough for the rest of your defense to prevent extra yardage.

we made an honor system to not use gameplan adjustments because they aren't fair, and user v user games use stands as grounds for kicking.

I have trouble containing good running backs unless I use conservative hit power, normal strip. I played my brother when he used GT and I couldn't tackle a 6 year old girl with strip on aggressive, and only managed one FF which he recovered 😭

This was more my experience. I forced 1 fumble in 2 games and the CPU was breaking lots of tackles.

Same. It's toned way down from last year.

Agreed. I think they toned town Aggressive Pass Defense too. Although players in the secondary still snag passes they shouldn't, they drop more than they intercept from my experience at least.
