I actually made that same change (from 55) and the next game it was just me committing 2 fumbles (and on one i totally screwed up on an option and the other i got serously drilled by a linebacker), so i don´t give up hope yet. Just a spur of the moment post after i won a game with the cpu committing 5 fumbles in that game on all sorts of plays.

I actually had that Pumpfake bug happen on accident scrambling (and thought i´d be above the line of scrimage and i´m not so sure-fingered on the right stick), was so dumbfounded that i ended up getting sacked by like 5 guys simultaneaously

Yeah that fumble thing is a non issue since it can easily be fixed with ONE slider.

Im actually getting less. Went 2 games in a row without fumbling after this latest patch.

Might as well play on the easiest level If it means that much to you to always beat the cpu. I could never get myself use it, in fact I wont even consider it.

ther ought to be seperate sliders for fumble frequency/ball protection and RB skills though imo.

So if I pump fake left or right against a user, or in the middle of the field, I'm okay correct?

Why on earth would someone consider pump faking backwards to begin with?

Yeah that would be good considering Madden 11 has a fumble slider and BTK slider.

Besides fixing obvious glitches, the thing I like most about this patch is it opened up the CPU offense. I play on AA, pretty close to default, and stopping the CPU's offense was just too easy. I'd just choose cover 1 or cover 2 man defenses and be able to keep even great passing offenses like Houston in check with average defenses. Last night I played 2 pretty even teams and was down 14-0 in the first quarter by giving up big plays in the passing game. That was not happening before.

The CPU's defense is better as well, but not overpowered. Running was too easy before, and they seemed to make it more realistic.

AA level seems more like it should be now. In terms of the backwards pump fake, I'm not a programmer, but shouldn't that be an easy fix? Just nullify any effect of pointing the right stick down after the snap. In other words, don't even allow the QB to do it, and turn off any defensive reaction associated.
