Fumbles

Apparently, according to EA every current NFL player fumbles the ball at the slightest touch by another player... I love playing as a QB in franchise and having five fumbles in a game all by non controlled players.

    @EA_BlueberryI'm experiencing an EXTREMELY HIGH number of fumbles when I run with Cam Newton.  Virtually everytime he is contacted by a defender regardless of the type of tackle the defender uses or whether they are an X-Factor or not.  I'm fumbling at about an 85-90% clip whenever I don't slide, whether I'm holding RB or not.  NOBODY FUMBLES THAT FREQUENTLY (and still has a job in the NFL). 

    I read from one of the EA community managers (either here or at the EA Madden forums) that they QB fumble rate was turned up higher to balance scrambling QBs.  But coughing the ball up everytime a QB gets touched is far from what I call balanced, especially since most quarterbacks are more prone to fumble when they are in the pocket trying to pass.

    Summarize your bug The QB fumbles without any effort whatsoever. Its pointless to get a scramble QB only for them to fumble from every single hit.
    How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Add an ability to strengthen ball security for QBs. That way people can sacrifice an ability slot for better ball security.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The other team gets the ball
    What do you expect to see? Some fumbles but not from literally everything that touched the QB

    Qb ball security for a "SCRAMBLING" Qb is a big joke. I get why you have it like that but make stamina more of a factor so that way when you keep running your ball security decreases to prevent overuse.

    @tsquareweb72 RB doesn’t do anything. I hold it on every catch. It’s DDA. If the game wants you to fumble. You’re going to fumble. It just sucks because you as the player have zero control over it. If it happens in the 4th while you’re on a game wining drive, or up by 20. As far as people talking about QB’s, a QB shouldn’t fumble simply because he’s tackled. If a play breaks down, and I’m able to scramble for a gain. I shouldn’t be punished (with a fumble) forced to take a sack, throw a int or throw it away. What if it’s 4th down? This game is broken. Anyone buying madden 21 is a *.

    @caeserfranko RB actually does work, as long as the QB is NOT the ball carrier (and beyond the line of scrimmage) in Madden NFL 20. However, QB fumbles beyond the line of scrimmage have been revised for Madden 21. They will be linked to a QB's stamina...

    Of course, it would be better if they fumbles were linked to contact with the ball, the arm the ball is in, the button the defense uses to tackle, the intensity of the hit, or a player's CAR rating... ANYTHING but what we had in Madden 20.

    Really? I have a 99 Calvin Johnson, a golden ticket Bo and a golden ticket Julio. They all fumble a lot while I hold RB after a catch or while simply running (and Bo has 99 carry). Conservative, hold RB, not juking, it doesn’t matter. It seems to happen even more  when I play lesser opponents, like the game is trying to keep bums in the game...The fact that you’re say RB works when you know it absolutely doesn’t, is very odd to me.
