fight for the fumble, who uses it?

[NiNjaPoOn619]

I found fftf to be an innovative idea in concept. And you see players fighting for fumble in real life. It works okay when playing other humans but it has flaws against the computer. When playing the computer, it seems like you have the unfair edge no matter if you are on the ball first and clearly has procession of it. That is mostly due to the fact that the computer knows exactly the buttons that are going to pop up and you don't have enough reflex to change to the other buttons while everything is going on.

So who uses this feature? And what do you think about it?

Hate it turned it off after my first time seeing it, lost that fight. Got the trophy after I turned it off..

Re: fight for the fumble, who uses it?

Sure its innovative, but it's too damn hard to do. I fell on a fumble with no one else around and that started and I didnt get it. Plus in reality there's no fighting for it. Whoever gets it first holds on to it. The pile just happens.

I've never used it, it's pointless.

I don't use it, but I don't think it is plain stupid. It serves it's purpose in head to head play.

Re: fight for the fumble, who uses it?

I like it conceptually but I don't like how they implemented it so I have it turned off. I noticed that I was consistently slow to start mashing and that led to me losing most fumbles even if I started with a large advantage. And then I just don't like button mashing in general(I could never get into the NFL 2K series because of it). If there was better implementation though, then I'd probably use it...not that I have an idea for better implementation though.

Re: fight for the fumble, who uses it?

As an idea and a concept I give it an "A"

As for execution of said idea I give it an "F"

How about a little creativity in it next year, let's get some close ups on the ground, give me the option to punch or scratch a guy or poke him in the eye to try and get the ball. Maybe a button for dirty tactics or a well timed grab at the ball, get simultaneous possession and then a timing system for different button presses, anything except the button mashing. You could do a lot of things with it. They chose the easiest, cheesiest solution.

Never going to happen. The NFL has Tiburon on a tight leash.

The people who don't use it are simply bad at it.

And those who do use it, are good at it.

Simple.

Re: fight for the fumble, who uses it?

I'm good at it and I like the feature it's just that I just bought a new controller and I don't want to wear it down by mashing buttons.

Re: fight for the fumble, who uses it?

I use it when I play against friends at my house, but besides that its annoying when I play the CPU and get out button mashed.

Simple.

I use it. I'm bad at it. Simple?
lol. it seems to me like the cpu knows who's getting the ball regardless. the meter doesn't start in the middle or even near it. if i'm on top of the ball when the min game starts, i get it. if the cpu is, they get it. i can mash all i want but it's never enough.

Why would the ball ever start at the middle??? ARe you serious. THe person on top has the advantage, and thus the best chance of winning.

I've won the ball when the CPU falls on it first buddy....

Seems to me the difficulty seriously effects how hard the mini game is.

When I used it against the cpu on all pro it was really hard to out mash them, but when I did a play for my friend when he was playing on rookie (his first time playing madden :O) I jumped on the fumble pile and it started maxed for the other team and easily won the mini game.
