[Gameplay] Stripping ball directly out of QB's hands not counted as turnover

copied from the Madden NFL 21 Bug Reports section since the bug is still alive in Madden 22.

Product: Madden NFL 21
Platform:PC
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? Neo_Novalis
Date/time issue occurred April 4th 2021
What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
Which mode has this happened in? Ultimate Team
Which part of the mode? Solo Challenges
Summarize your bug I recently added the "strip specialist" ability to my pass rushers. since then I sometimes see an animation where the pass rusher strips the ball directly out of the QB's hands (instead of sacking him; the ball is not fumbled but ends in the arms of the defender) resulting in a turnover while the play is blown dead immediately. today I realised in a Solo Battle game that this turnover was not counted in the game stats
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? do a strip ball tackle when sacking the QB with a player with "strip ball" ability. sometimes, an animation is triggered stripping the ball directly out of the QB's hand and holding it in his arms (without a fumble)
What happens when the bug occurs? the turnover is not counted in the game stats
What do you expect to see? the correct turnover count

    As I am usering DE Bryan Burns, but I have seen it with other pass rushers as well, when performing a strip sack cleanly, in other words, that doesn't end up a fumble recovery, said animation doesn't result in a sack stat, and isn't even registered as a turnover. Even the commentary team talks about a backwards rush attempt. And as a franchise player, it's a lot of lost xp and advancement towards a potential award. I'm guessing it is a glitch, but will it be fixed? Is it common?

    @DeadEye7017 thank you for reporting this issue! I've copied my report from last year to the current bug reports section since I faced this bug already in Madden 21 and provided a recorded clip there.

    @Neo_Novalis  No problem, thank you for adding an actual clip of the bug! Do the comments team react accordingly at least or is everything bugged to you too?

    @DeadEye7017 May I refuse to answer the question? ☹️ The community managers have reported it to the dev team but I'd guess it has not been tackled yet due to other priorities / more pressing issues.

    Up to now I did not see this bug myself in Madden 22 (the recording is still from Madden 21), but I guess this is just because I only faced this bug when adding the "strip ball" ability to my pass rushers. I do not have these abilities in my MUT team yet.

    @Neo_Novalis True, Brian Burns (the only DE this bugged occured to me with) does have strip specialist by default in franchise, and it happens exclusively with him... Oh well, it is true it's only a minor bug compared to some other game breaking ones
