Not because I would like more turnovers... (although that would be appreciated)... but I whiff at least a couple times a game and for the life of me I can't remember to dive or safe tackle. I'm just so used to going for the big hit and I can't untrain that muscle memory.
P.S. Is there any better feeling than laying that big hit on a ball carrier and having them lay the ball on the ground? Maybe a well-timed lurk pick 6... but there's something about the hitstick sound that's really satisfying.

Any recommendations how to aim it better? I miss when trying to do this a lot. I turned off defensive heat seeker assist because the AI is very easily faked out, and this does help a little imho.
need guys like Kam and Sean Taylor. those two have forced 10+ fumbles for me on hit sticks. guys like krause and ed reed or troy won’t do it.

I've been trying to be more disciplined to go for dive tackles with X when I gap shoot runs. A 2 yard tackle for loss is a lot better than whiffing.
Gotta disagree. It’s just not realistic. How often do we see bone crushing hits where the ball goes flying out of a runners hands? Now a WR coming across the middle trying to make a catch….im down for hit sticks to pop that ball away.

It happens way more in the NFL than the current rate of fumbles in MUT. I'd say I'll be lucky to knock the ball out once in every 15 hitsticks. And even then the offense tends to recover!

I am working on tackling with X as well. Sadly I developed a habit of going conservative tackles by default with the A button, which is usually not worth it imo.

krause has 88 hit power i don't see the difference from sean's 90 to his 88 if there was a possibility chance of increase the likelyhood to fumble. it would be automatic.
but all honesty i would just use deflator every running back would be gassed on every hit or conservative tackle since people just spam plays eventually you have to run another play cause a lot of people don't invest in good backups.
I don't have any problems getting them this year. User a player with high hit power, and turn tackling on aggressive. It's all about timing and making sure the ball carrier doesn't cut at the last minute. Just watch their legs and point in that direction. Do some practice and you will nail the timing down.

I'm able to get the hitstick more often than not... it just doesn't cause a ton of fumbles. I will try turning on aggressive tackling.
The main guy I whiff on is Payton with Human Joystick.... I play on old gen (yes I have a current gen console but I like the faster version of the game)... and HJS is as good as ever.
With aggressive tackling on and guys with high hit power, it gets excessive how many hitsticks you'll see. It's for the best fumbles are low with it.
