To many fumbles?

[footballdude1971]

I'm seeing 6-8 fumbles a game...1 or 2 of them getting returned for TD's...anyone else concerned about this?

I'm ten games into my dynasty with clemson and i have only lost one fumble the whole year. I was thinking there werent enough fumbles.

Re: To many fumbles?

I am seeing much fewer fumbles than that. What are your settings, difficulty level, quarter length, and platform? I'm playing on the 360 - All-American, RB level boosted for the CPU but decreased for me, and 8 min quarters. I've had more picks than fumbles in almost every game I've played, and a pretty reasonable number of total turnovers (usually 3-5 for the two teams combined).

Oh, I should also mention, most of my own fumbles have come on busted option plays. Actual fumbles by a ball carrier getting tackled have been few and far between.

No such thing as not enough IMO

I've seen 4 fumbles in under 1 minute of a quarter. It happened to the cpu, it was like the ball was greased, but they did somehow manage to recover it every single time, but i still think that there's too many fumbles.

Are you using the right stick when already being tackled by a defender? I've found when i do that with Rb's who don't have a high break tackle rating i tend to fumble a lot. Now if there is more then one defender about to hit me i just cover up the ball.

I've done that to the computer. Once when they were on offense, then i punted to them, and then on the kickoff. Three straight fumbles from three different sets. SMH. If you guys are fumbling too much you should switch to conservative on gameplan and just try to juke and spin defenders instead of trying to break their tackles.

I think there's more this year when you try to break too many tackles you fumble more likely which is realistic. I like the amount of fumbles because it forces you to choose between playing conservative and not going for extra yardage and trying to break a big play.

Re: To many fumbles?

I've played around 10 games or so and only had one game that had a bunch of fumbles. I think it was 6 or 7 between both teams. I'd say on average there is one or two a game for me. It seems pretty realistic to me.

I agree. The more you use the right stick while being hit, the more you fumble. You have to cover the ball up or you're gonna fumble if you continue to try to make moves while being hit, especially if your break tackle rating isn't very good. I'm playing a Dynasty with Georgia, and I've found if I try to break tackles with Caleb King, I'll fumble twice a game if not more, I just have to hold RB down when I get hit by more than one guy and just hold on for yardage.

Maybe that's it....I am a little R stick happy...

Re: To many fumbles?

Yea you can really get in trouble trying to truck through guys and break tackles if your player isnt that good. Be a little more selective with trying to break tackles. Sometimes you just have to protect the ball and take the hit.

My problem is interceptions. But i know the reason there, I suck at passing lol.

Re: To many fumbles?

I've seen five fumbles on one possession, and I've gone two and three games without either team having one.

Re: To many fumbles?

Maybe I have a bad disk or something, I play on AA/Heisman, depending on what mood I am in and I do not have a problem fumbling personally, but I so far, 10 games into my dynasty the CPU at least has 2-3 fumbles a game and I have my Big Hits and Stip Ball set to conservative. For example, I play as OSU for my dynasty and was playing Wisconsin, which should have been a good game, but instead I won 21-0 because everytime Wisconsin got on my side of the 50 they fumbled. I do not understand why they did not include a fumble and injury slider for this game. The other problem I am having is that my starting running back gets hurt at least once a game, this is with my second string HB and DT out for the season. In one game alone that I was keeping track of I had 5 players go out with an injury just on my team, they were all minor injuries, but there are not that many injuries in the game

Re: To many fumbles?

The injuries are perfect imo, there is nothing wrong with 5 players with minor injuries where they only miss a few plays. This kind of stuff happens in real life all the time.

I wish we had a fumble slider though.
