    I keep hearing about all these fumble issues, but I have never ran into them. Are you using the highlight stick a lot, because I know that will cause you to fumble?

      I agree, they seem pretty good to me. I play on Heisman with tackling @ 40 at get realistic results.

          I have not seen the fumblitis, but I keep my index finger near the "RB" (protect the ball) at all times. All my fumbles that I did and caused seems normal to me. I play All American Default.

          Also keep your eye on the energy level of RBs and WRs.

            Have not seen it either. I average about one fumble a game...if anything that is less than real life.

                They happen a little too frequently for my tastes by default. I use RB to lower the chances a lot and it helps, but it really limits what you can do to try to break tackles, which I don't like. Too often I feel like, no matter what I do, if I touch the Highlight Stick, I'm going to fumble. I can just feel it before it happens. Now, granted, this happens in real life from time to time. But I get that feeling at least once or twice per game, even with my Heisman-winning RB, which I feel is just a tad much. Mark Ingram only fumbled, what, twice, last season? If that? My RB already has like 4 just 5 games into the season and had like 12 last season.

                That being said, I never feel like it's "out of control" for me. I never get like 8 per game or anything like that. I would just like to be able to use the Highlight Stick a little more without freaking out that I'm going to fumble. But I am using sliders (Playmakers Varsity sliders) and I think that helps a lot. I had a big issue with it in the demo.

                  Playing online I had some fumbling issues and now just set my break tackle gameplan to conservative and rarely, seriously once every ten games, do I fumble.

                    Hmmm... Not having this issue. In eight games played, I've fumbled the ball 11 times and lost six of them. I did fumble five times in one game but that was in heavy rain at Husky Stadium. I have recovered four fumbles on defense... Doesn't seem like too much at all.

                      I don't see the fumble problems either. I have 9 fumbles through 7 games and 5 of them are from my QB who fumbled either 1) while getting sacked and I tried to get rid of the ball or 2) on 3 occasions I left the pocket but didn't use RB as I was being tackled because I was trying to gain more yards. My 9 fumbles through 7 games is a 1.28 per game average. I use RB when in traffic or when being tackled from behind. It's really important to do this with quarterbacks.

                      On defense I've forced 8 fumbles through my 7 games. That too is a realistic number. I never set my defense to Strip Ball or Hard Hits.

                      I suspect that the few people who complain about fumbles do not use the Cover Up button in traffic or when they sense the tackle from behind. My thought is they are used to previous video games where they string off highlight tackle breaking moves one after another. I really believe EA did an excellent job of replicating fumbles in this year's game. If you watch a game IRL you will see running backs covering the ball as they enter traffic and sometimes while hitting the hole. Ball carriers, whether RB, WR or QB cover up when they sense a tackle from behind because you'll see defenders are taught to punch the ball from behind as they are wrapping up to tackle.

                      I hope EA doesn't change this.

                        Fumbles are fine. If anything there's not enough.

                        First thing I do when I get on offense is change the gameplay that effects fumbles to Conservative. Always use the cover up ball button whenever the defender has a big hit angle on you.

                          Sorry i didnt clarify. My probmlems are not with human fumble, but cpu fumbles. Last season i recover 18 fumbles with A 1 star team. Irl they recovered 2 :/

                          I must say i won a couple of games thankz to that.

                            Fumbles have not been a problem for myself or the CPU once I moved to default Heisman. When I messed around with Varsity and AA sliders in the beginning, it did seem like the CPU fumbled more then me... but I never thought it was excessive.

                            As for human fumbles, as many have mentioned if you're not abusing the spin move and stiff arm buttons you should be fine. I hope they don't tune anything because it has been fine for me through 3 seasons on Heisman.

                              In 50 plus games I have never seen more then three total fumbles in any one of them. Neither the CPU nor myself have ever fumbled three times in one game.
