Fumblestick?

[modelboy]

Has anyone else noticed an inordinate amount of fumbles when using the hitstick? I've made defensive players fumble with Flacco..top handling RB's like Turner and LT also fumble multiple times a game.. this should probably be looked at..

I don't think it's a problem.

I can't even get the hit stick to work 3/4 of the time.

I love trying to strip the ball. The way the defensive players try and rip the ball out looks sweet, especially when they are successful...

I've noticed that the Fumble slider is one of the sliders that works as intended, so if it's put much lower than 40-45 you'll get a lot of fumbles, even with HBs that have good Carrying ratings.

I have the CPU skill fumble slider at 46, and I can get a fumble every other game or so, usually using the Hit Stick with guys that have 90+ Hit Power against guys with less than stellar Carrying (usually WRs or KRs, ocassionally a smaller, weaker HB).

It's weird though, in my Franchise Michael Turner had 9 fumbles in 10 games or so. He went without fumbling for the last 6 games so he ended the season with 9. He lead the league in fumbles, with Adrian Peterson (my HB) in second with 7, several people after that had 6.

I do the same thing when I can. When I was playing on default all-pro, I remember causing Darren McFadden to fumble on 3 straight running plays(obviously in different series though) and that just wasn't going to work for me.

For the slider set I've since made for myself though, I believe I've got CPU fumbles at about 75 or 80 and that has cut down on a lot of their fumbles. So, I'd recommend that for anyone having this issue.

Re: Fumblestick?

It all depends on the cpu fumble slider.if your causing alot of fumbles then bump it about 5-10

Re: Fumblestick?

I think its pretty likely that the large number of fumbles have to do with the already forgotten "Fight for the Fumble" feature. EA is big on showcasing something that they really hyped up. You need fumbles to really notice the feature.
