I haven't been seeing this issue at all myself, but people have been showing videos on Twitter where receivers were dropping too many RAC catch attempts when the defender covering/trailing them was within a couple of yards but not making contact with the receiver.

So there aren't any fumbles in the game and EAs solution to this is to reduce the effectiveness of strip tackling? Great 😡

I've played 2 games (PTM) and haven't noticed much difference at all. WR/CB interactions seem a little more fair. I saw 3 fumbles by non QBs in those 2 games. Can't comment on punts since I don't play those. Still seems okay as far as I can tell.

Played a game just now on default sliders with only adjustment to 60 fatigue, speed parity to 0 & slow speed. The game felt good with more fluid tackle animations and WR/DB interactions. I feel messing with sliders makes the game unbalanced overall. I leave skill sliders at default as well as penalties. With all the tuner updates and patches it is better to leave the game to base as possible. Just my opinion.

Our games average about 50-60 plays per game for each team which is in line with the real NFL -https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/sta...ate=2004-02-02

so based on the numbers i provided above, seems like my original response , that i already "felt" like it was already too low , is backed up by numbers. So making the strip feature even less effective seems like a bad move imo. Glad to provide numbers that back up my feelings that ended up being true .
