    Anyone won a Fight for A Fumble?

    I can never win this. I hit the buttons as fast as I can and I never win. Do you have to have the quick finger of a 12 year old to win? Any tips?

    Yes, but they're all but predetermined. I'm not sure I've ever won one that the CPU would have normally recovered.

            Every 'Fight for the Fumble' is affected by how many guys you have around the ball and who landed on the ball first. Basically, once you have that advantage, you REALLY have to try to lose. Because the bar will heavily favor your button reactions as opposed to your disadvantaged opponent.

              I have it turned off, but when it was on I never touched the buttons and won 50% of the time. I believe it is predetermined who will get the ball and what is done with the buttons means nothing.

                Do yourself a favor and turn it off. It is one of the worst original ideas that Tiburon has ever had.

                  This. There is nothing in gaming I hate more than button mashing contests.

                    I win 75% because usually if you hit square on PS3 or x on xbox 360 before the screen comes up you usually win

                      Same here, I turned it off last year. And I turned it off this year literally before playing the game even for a minute.

                      And I've never looked back. I dont like this feature at all.

                      Plus... watching that stupid pile up cut scene play out gives me an oppurtunity to sip my delicious beer between the action

                        not really in madden 10 I fumbled the other team recovered there was no one near the ball (except the one who recovered) and it started the fight for the fumble video (I had button mashing mode of) and I won the fumble


                        PS it only happened once so maybe it was a bug?
