Madden NFL 17 Tuning Update Available Now - Reduces Strip Fumbles

Re: 8/29 Tuning Update - Strip Fumbles

Odd, has this been an actual issue? I've played about 8 or 10 games and I've seen about 5 fumbles. The only thing I've noticed is with subbing. But that's probably my fault as I was messing with the sliders and my main RB didn't come back into the game in the second half after gaining 150 yards in the first half.

Yea I've seen QB's fumble when they get sacked from behind which is realistic.

I don't know if it's because I play online, but I haven't noticed strip fumbles all that much. As for just fumbles, I think they've been fine so far. There's always going to be people who say there are too many fumbles or too few of them, but I think they've been fine so far.

I've seen fumbles. They're still there. Wasn't even a problem for me, this tuner seems to have affected qb play more than anything.

Well that's also good news. I play only cpu vs cpu so we'll see how the testing goes from multiple people.

My QB has fumbled a few times but it just seemed like good timing, I got smashed as I started to pass and as my arm was going back the ball popped out. And then I have had the CPU QB fumble once. Nothing has seemed out of place as of yet.

Re: 8/29 Tuning Update - Strip Fumbles

I think this is (or was) a ratings issue. The highest rated QB CAR rating is Newton, 83. He has fumbled 32 times in 784 total ball "carry" attempts (career sacks plus rush attempts). That is 4% fumble rate. Or a 96 CAR rating (assuming the rating is on a true 0-100% scale, not so sure there).

Using the same fumble % logic, Brees 12%, or 88; M.Ryan 10%, or 90; E.Manning 17%, or 83. In-game, in order they are 62, 67, and 51. If the ratings gurus here know any different or better, correct me. But taking the ratings at face value, they are way off.

I can't help but cringe when they say "tuning" update. Always hope for the best but now we have to see all the effects, intended and unintended.

I liked the amount of fumbles that were happening. Madden 16 had almost no fumbles..

I'm just saying, QBA and pass rush feels a little different

Getting manual or cpu sacks easier or harder now?

Re: 8/29 Tuning Update - Strip Fumbles

If your playing an offline CFM, do you have to reset for this tuning to work?

Good change. I saw a few too many of them just in PLAY NOW games against the CPU.

You do not have to reset CFM for this to work.

BTW - the screenshot used was from my first game AFTER the tuning update, so it is still possible to strip.

Yeah I am also getting more manual sacks now. Although the RT I am facing is slightly worse in ovr

Any affect for qbs awareness in pocket? Scrambling. Moving feet. Etc

Re: Madden NFL 17 Tuning Update Available Now - Reduces Strip Fumbles

I haven't really had a problem with fumbles so far with the exception of one freak scenario. I had the ball and was driving to tie the game at the last minute and my WRs (think it ended up being 4 of them) were stripped 5 times in 4 plays. 3 of the 5 went out of bounds as I was simply running down or to the sideline when they happened. One was scooped up by another WR and subsequently stripped again, and then the last one was recovered by the defense, costing me my game. I don't know why it suddenly became impossible to do anything without fumbling the ball, but that was the only moment where I really felt that the fumbles were out of control.
