Lack of Fumbles

[Sundown2600]

Are you guys seeing a lot less fumbles after big hits compared to last year or is it just me? I usually only see fumbles after strip ball attempts rarely after a huge hit.

Re: Lack of Fumbles

I love the lack of fumbles...I feel like a fumble occurs when it should, I can point to more big hits where a player didn't fumble or caught the ball before getting drilled, I think its good. QB's have less fumbles on scrambles as well which is nice too

It's so weird, because if you turn on the ball strip there are a whole lot. Probably too many. Turn it off? You might see 0, you might see a few. It's maybe a little low, but it's not bad either.

I would agree, I'd prefer more fumbles myself, seems the QB gets 90% of em.

I think it adds a bit of realism to the game. Go and watch highlights of your favorite college team... guarantee most of the fumbles are either from strips or helmet on ball tackles, not necessarily big hits.

Well balanced this year... I am happy with the lack of. I see one to two a game

I think that in franchise mode the fumbles seem about the same. There's no fumbles for a long period of time and then wham, fumbles galore.

On the other hand, try RTG as a QB. Seems like everytime the "D" even breathes on you it creates a fumble.

Lack of fumbles not a problem when taylor martinez is your QB.

Re: Lack of Fumbles

Lack of fumbles? Isn't "X" the fumble button when you run the QB sneak?

Re: Lack of Fumbles

Just finished my second year of dynasty, and I've only has two non-QB fumbles in two years...one each year. And one of those I recovered. How is that possible?

And the CPU RBs and WRs never fumble...ever. I know I could change my tackling tendancies to aggressive, but 0 CPU fumbles in two years shouldn't happen on the default settings.

However, I ran a third season and simmed when I was on defense - a reasonable amount of fumbles then. For whatever, reason, actual gameplay physics just are not causing them (aside from hitting the QB.)

Re: Lack of Fumbles

Nevermind. Maybe it's just a coincidence - but three fumbles in two games after Patch #3 today.
