Warrior General Games

I really hope he doesn't make this an in-season change. It's not a bug, it's a matter of deficient builds and a change Bort made in the offseason. Defensive players have been building up to stop power runners for the past two seasons and now we have this.

But we all know the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Separate issue

Just because a player loads up on strength, tackling, and Power Tackling VA shouldn't make him effective at running down the field at full speed, with high agility, and not only corralling a high speed / agility CB but also at the same time causing the fumble and have of his buddies be right there to scoop it for a 35yd TD.

This is 100% the biggest problem. I agree with PP that the amount of fumbles can be fixed with player builds but the amount returned for TDs can only be fixed through changing the game's coding. IRL about 70% of fumbles are fallen on, GLB 100% of the fumbles are picked up by a player standing and ready to run... it's bothered the living shit out of me for about eight seasons.

Actually, one of the things being discussed is how to have picking up fumbles and returning them be more difficult.

I'm kinda with PP on this - my team prepared for this type of thing and it will ultimately hurt us if it is changed, but I do think it needs to be toned down. The 2nd half of our game with K-Zoo was laughable.

^^ is this a public discussion or a discussion between testers and/or admins?

I would like to contribute some thoughts on the subjects of how to make the numbers of fumbles acceptable and recoveries more realistic, such as adding proximity of opponent vectors to deciding weather or not players dive on the ball or pick it up and try to run.
