Last season I had 4 fumbles and 1 lost. Already in 3 games this season I have 5 fumbles, 4 lost. Did they change something? For next game I have raised the out/in energy thinking maybe he is just too tired and fumbles? Any suggestions?

cover up SA (3), carrying almost at 43, Sta 32, Con almost 31

Hmm, that's odd. I fumbled a ton my first couple of seasons because my team was in too high of a league, so defenders would just burst through the line, like this http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=10693206

Unless something like that is the case, I don't really see why you'd be fumbling so much with those attributes.

I really don't see much of a difference in team levels. I leveled just the other day and added points to help against fumbling..although 5 points doesn't go far.

I'm thinking it has to do with STA or staying on the field to long before coming off the field. Who knows what Bort changed! haha

I'm fumbling like mad despite my 48 for carrying and 80 in strength + another 3 for the cover up ability. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening.

preventing fumbles has been the preverbial moving target. Start of last season changes meant pretty much everyone needed a large increase in their carrying. This season it could be any of a number of things, I personally havnt had too many, but still more than I expected from preseason and first couple games of the season, could be down to Defences increasing their tackling to counteract the effectiveness of PowerBacks, maybe there has been more changes, maybe you've improved speed alot, or defences have improved their speed(And this is just a theory, but I think the higher speed the impacts, it would make sense, the more likely a fumble is to occur). Also your running style apparently effects the chance of a fumble, have you changed tactics for the new season?

I'm still going power through, because despite the fumbles I'm still winning games with some great rushes. But in close games those fumbles could really cost us.

I upped my speed by 10 points or so, but my carrying has been improved by almost 20 points since the last couple of games of last season where I suddenly started fumbling.

I didn't really change much the last few levels, although I tried to add some to speed. From the start of last season I probably upped my carry by 15-20 points and all of last season had 4 fumbles and now 3 games I have 5 fumbles?

RubenJ is right though, in close games...it will cost the game because of these fumbles and there is no apparent reason for them. We actually lost a close game and I had fumbled twice. I could see if my carry was horrible...but come on!

My backup has 17 less carries, 50 less yards than me and has zero fumbles. His Sta, Car, and Cof are all lower than me except he has 5 in cover up compared to my 3. Just doesn't add up.

What are your SA's... maybe if you have some to help break tackles you may not be hit so hard if that makes sense.

My HB's dont fumble as much as they use to as the defenders are too busy trying to tackle and can't get in position for big hits

3-3-3-4-2 in Power. My problem is that nothing drastic has changed for my player from last season but something has been changed to running the ball. (maybe just power backs?)

same hear ive got 5 fumbles so far this season

My balanced HB has no Fumbles when he used to have a few... I honestly think becuase he is hard to catch the defense have trouble laying big tackles which would cause fumbles... ie...they are always laying diving tackles

Just a idea

My team's Speed HB has 3 fumbles in 3 games. My Power Back has 1 in those games (on a punt return lol, don't ask). I have a couple more points in carrying than he does, about 5 more CON, and we have the same in Cover Up.

My power back has gotten 64% of the carries so far.

My elusive back who runs on combo is averaging 2 fumbles a game despite almost 40 in carrying and at 30 strength. I'm baffled to what could be causing this as well. Maybe Power Tackling is actually working correctly this season :? I'm going to check out some of the defensive forums and see if there's any talk of Power Tackling in any of them.

Bort said the faster a HB gets and the faster the defense gets, the more fumbles will occur, since collisions with more force will happen at higher speeds. So if you just boosted earlier in the season, and didn't really improve your carrying along with the speed and agility you added, you'll probably be fumbling a lot more.

I feel your pain though, my HBs have been fumbling a lot with very high carrying.

30 Str is pretty low..
