it was too easy to strip the ball especially against the cpu. im glad they made this change. im especially glad they limited it to nerfing the strip ball mechanic too, because i felt fumbles from big hits/tackles etc were fine.
Eh, I didn't mind the strip fumbles as much. I just saw one last night where I was stripped from behind and it's something that I haven't noticed in Madden ever.
I'm glad they tuned this. Fumbles were a little out of control. I had 8 during my last game. 6 were cpu fumbles 4 being off the qb. I mean sure it's possible that happens but HIGHLY unlikely. So good on them for tuning it down.
When I used strip at the wrong times I'd miss tackles. When I used it after a broken tackle, it'd have a higher chance. CPU or online. I liked the balance, but that's just me
Odd, has this been an actual issue? I've played about 8 or 10 games and I've seen about 5 fumbles. The only thing I've noticed is with subbing. But that's probably my fault as I was messing with the sliders and my main RB didn't come back into the game in the second half after gaining 150 yards in the first half.

Yea I've seen QB's fumble when they get sacked from behind which is realistic.
I don't know if it's because I play online, but I haven't noticed strip fumbles all that much. As for just fumbles, I think they've been fine so far. There's always going to be people who say there are too many fumbles or too few of them, but I think they've been fine so far.

My QB has fumbled a few times but it just seemed like good timing, I got smashed as I started to pass and as my arm was going back the ball popped out. And then I have had the CPU QB fumble once. Nothing has seemed out of place as of yet.
I think this is (or was) a ratings issue. The highest rated QB CAR rating is Newton, 83. He has fumbled 32 times in 784 total ball "carry" attempts (career sacks plus rush attempts). That is 4% fumble rate. Or a 96 CAR rating (assuming the rating is on a true 0-100% scale, not so sure there).
Using the same fumble % logic, Brees 12%, or 88; M.Ryan 10%, or 90; E.Manning 17%, or 83. In-game, in order they are 62, 67, and 51. If the ratings gurus here know any different or better, correct me. But taking the ratings at face value, they are way off.
I can't help but cringe when they say "tuning" update. Always hope for the best but now we have to see all the effects, intended and unintended.
