I fumble a bunch compared to the computer and I even have the fumbles turned down to 35. I have lost the ball on fumbles 17 times. The next highest in the league is 7. Considering I have recovered some of my own fumbles I have probably fumbles at least 25 times. Anyone else have this issue? Should I always hold the RB when I run? It happens at some real inconveniente times which almost feels like it is the computer cheating a bit. I am the Bengals and use BJGE and he has a good carry rating but he fumbles a bunch also. The INT's are my fault at times I realize. Even so I think the computer players catch much more difficult Int's compared to my players but I can live with that. The fumbles drive me crazy though!!! Is the RB button that crucial? Maybe I am not using it enough??? I have recovered 2 fumbles for on defense. I am am also dead last with 6 picks. However as said in a previous thread I don't want to have mega Int's cuz that wouldn't be fun. The fumbles however are bugging me enough to turn them off. lol

Besides what others said that lowering fumbles has made it worse for you (it's an inverse slider), make sure when you use R1/RB that you keep holding it until the tackle/contact is over. You don't want to just hold it for the initial hit and then let it go - hold on to it until they bring you down or you aren't getting touched by that player anymore. If you just use it for the initial hit, they can still force a fumble by trying to strip the ball while dragging you to the ground.
