QB fumbles?

[JWDixon120]

On back to back drives earlier with the Saints, I drop back with Bree's and start my throwing motion... I than proceed to get hit and when the ball is literally .01 seconds away from being release I'm hit and it is ruled as a fumble. Now I know the rule for forward arm motion but the fumbles seriously go 10 yards forward. It should definitely be an incomplete pass and I can't challenge it to overturn it. Anyone else?

On 3 straight possessions, Mark Sanchez fumbled for me as the Broncos.

1st was my fault as I scrambled and tried to slide, but ended up losing the fumble.
2nd (after we got the ball back from them scoring) was as you say, in the throwing motion, ball pops up... we recover!
3rd, the 2nd down, exactly the same... throwing motion, ball pop up and again we recover!

He would do it again later in the game, but we lost possession that time. Seems dramatic, but I put it down to me just being too slow.

All the time,even with the slider maxed it happens 2-3 times a game.

Is it only when you get hit as you're about to throw the ball? Rex has mentioned that you need to re-teach yourself how to take the sack this year.

I've had 2-3 QB fumbles per game (on a bad day) this year, but surprisingly not many have been lost.

So, so much. I had Teddy Bridgewater fumble 4 times on 5 possessions in a playoff game where I had a 21 point lead, and none of those possessions were longer than four plays. I don't think the game has comeback code but man did it feel like it that night.

Edit: All were on hits in the pocket and all were lost. Two were on back to back offensive plays.

This is really nerfed. For both human and cpu QBs. The sacks that look like a fumble are sometimes called incompletes, and what looks like a forward pass will, be called a fumble.

And it happens way too often in a game...even by the cpu QB so it is not just a case of learning how to take a sack.

It's too many per game!!! I thought they put a patch out for this already but looks to me like the patch didn't work. This is the kind of stuff that makes the game not realistic to me and they need to figure it out and fix it!!!😡😡😡

Adjustments made to fumbles were specifically in regards to strip fumbles.

If you're under pressure, take the sack. Stop trying to throw at the last second.
