          Pfft. I could've gotten #2 and #6 done in like half an hour.

                Probably been asked.. but what's the likelihood of winning fumbles on harder difficulties? In some basketball games it used to be next to impossible to win the jump ball (back when you had to mash the jump button to win tips) on harder levels

                  I had to make some executive decisions today on the feature as we close in towards the end here...so I thought I'd keep you guys in the loop on the changes/additions we are going to try to make. I want to be clear - none of this is done yet - but this is the 'design' so I'll update again with what we end up getting (I am hoping we get all of it).

                  1. Add a on/off option to the settings screens for the button masher. If it's off, the fumble is recovered through some CPU logic of which players get there first
                  2. Make the meter more minimalistic - take it off the field and integrate it into the ticker at the bottom of the screen
                  3. Add support for the meter to disappear at a specified time based on skill level. Meaning, that on All-Pro or All-Madden, the button callout will still stay on screen to show you how to fight for the fumble, but the "meter" will disappear to give more suspense. On lower skill levels, the meter can stay up the whole time.
                  4. Give bonuses to make sure that the first person on the ball starts out 'winning' the meter
                  5. Tune all the animations to make sure that the pileup only triggers in the obvious situation where multiple people dove on it at once. If you fall on it and it looks like you have possession, then you should retain possession with no fumble pileup.
                  6. Change the camera(s) to be much tighter and more 'broadcast'.

                  I think this definitely meets the needs of all parties - it can be turned off for those that don't want it, the cameras can be much cooler without the need for framing the on-field button UI, and it shouldn't feel cheap anymore.

                  Sound good? Again I'll update later on as we get this stuff added in.
                  OMG, Thank you Ian! The option to turn off the Button Mashing thing is great.

                      Ian, I must say, my respect of how you handle yourself, your product, and our input increases almost everytime you post a "fix" or update. Well done...excellent balance of options, IMO.

                                Simply phenomenal Ian. To go from announced feature, to community feedback, to changed/adding to said feature in this timeframe is sensational. Having simmed piles is going to be awesome - I'm not a button mashing/minigame fan.

                                Not sure if you're responding in here but any possibility the same could be done for kicking? I'm not a fan of it, and it is inherently flawed from a CPU vs Human balance standpoint as Humans, no matter the mechanism, will always eventually get better at it, while the CPU remains the same. If kicks and punts for Human teams could be simulated much like how the CPU will take control of your defender if you don't touch the controlpad, then that would be great IMO. Don't have to change a thing for those who do like to kick and punt manually, it could be an option somewhere that is disabled by default.
