Madden NFL 20 Fumbles

During one of my latest Weekend League matches today I fumbled 4 times in ONE game! (Have clips) This is absolutely outrageous!!! I have very high rated players with GREAT ball carrying attributes. For something that takes no skill and is completely random this is happening way too often and needs to be addressed immediately.

    @MaddenUniversity i get that the one i was reading stated that bad things are set to happen and some things dont make sense like i was playing other team scored was down by 1 still i go to recieve kick off and i didnt even touch controller and my player muffs kick grabs it and runs out of end zone for safety gives other team ball and 1 point lead with only min left in game and i dont get the things where how players with low ratings in speed chase down higher speed players and also how players can stop mid sprint jump backwards and intercept ball some things are completely un realistic
  • @Jay7734265 I agree, I am holding R1 and sometimes I got to make the give your self up catch and it just keeps running right into a free hit and fumble for the defence, not to mention trying to get your QB to slide when your close to the line of scrimmage, it’s so cheap, what’s the point if the buttons don’t respond fast enough.
  • The same reason “flat earth” has been discussed. There are several undefeated people. When I play my friends that don’t play as much as me I literally NEVER lose. Explain this if it’s random.

    @Levi9412 People just don't want to deal with the reality that there is a high level if SKILL required to win this game consistently. Been that way ever since online play began... But unlike most games that teach you all the moves you need to win in the first 3-5 stages, Madden takes YEARS to master. It doesn't help that every man that watches football thinks they are an expert (until they meet an expert). LOL

    My QB is the only one that fumbles an he will fumble diving or even with me using the cover control it don’t make a difference. Mobile QB carry rating should mean something there shouldn’t be a double standard by position for the game.

    I started doing this before every tackle and I still have the problem. I even turned fumbling down to 1 in the sliders for player and computer. Still multiple fumbles per game on both sides. It's a broken mechanic.

    @90FadeDoc QB's fumble at a much higher rate than any other position in Madden, but only beyond the line of scrimmage. It's supposed to be to prevent people from running with the QB. You can slide to avoid the hits by sliding... Tap Square on PS4 or X on Xbox once you get past the line of scrimmage.

    The team added a new ability to Lamar Jackson this year, "Truzz."

    Once triggered, if he's in the zone he won't fumble.
