Fumbles

Is it just me or has fumbling been turned way up? I have a GOM futures team but Ive never had fumbling issues until now. I’ve lost too many fumbles today in important games and it’s frustrating.

It is not just you. I think something changed in the game. We recently had a Madden update and a PlayStation update. They botched something.

If I am playing a team that has players that are a higher OVR than my team, I have experienced a lot of strange things happening. One was 3 or 4 fumbles by my RB in a game when my HB hasn't fumbled in a month of use. My QB missed wide open receivers and threw passes 20 yards off target to get intercepted by a defender that was not even close to my receiver, mediocre opponent TEs roasting CBs with 94 or 95 Speed and 93 to 95 MCV, opponent HBs breaking through multiple tackles per play, and opponent receivers somehow catching a ball through a defender with better positioning and who should make an interception or deflect the ball or have the ball deflected off their body.

Did you pay attention to who you were playing against? Did their team have higher OVR players than your team? It seems like the programming of the game was changed to give higher OVR teams an advantage by making your team screw up in ways that they have not been screwing up before. It is not the opponent playing better either, which makes what is going on feel like "the game is being fixed" to control the outcome.

i run gom futures as well and have experienced more fumbles. I can’t use archer anymore. I had to use l.t.

LOL I never fumbled with Archer for months, yesterday I lost a SB for a Terrell Davis fumble on a 2 yards run

While playing squads had a game where Terrell Davis fumbled on 1st play from a hit by Keenan Allen....opponent team had k9 get 28 carries while getting hit sticked by nitch, peppers, and Carmichael with 0 fumbles

I have a 94ovr offense with a good amount of LTDs. Deion has fumbled a lot and for my RBs I have LT and Derrick Henry. There are times where I’m running the ball up the middle and the ball just gets ripped out of their hands while they’re standing. People spam the strip ball button and the ball just pops out. I hate that there’s no penalty for spamming strip ball but ig I need to make a habit of covering the ball up when I‘m being tackled.

My QBs fumble if any defensive player breathes on them but I guess that‘s less surprising.
