QB Fumbling
Okay, this has been an ongoing thing, for years and still hasn’t been fixed by EA. Could someone please pass up to the devs that we are sick of seeing QBs fumble every single time they are touched by...

Community Manager@WrathOfHades85 This is more by game design and it's been like this for several Madden titles now. You'll fumble with Lamar Jackson unless you activate Truzz. It also is dependent on whether the player hit sticks you and their X-Factor abilities. This is to help keep running QBs in check from relying on running the ball instead of being a passer. You can easily pick up some short yardage, but if you decide to try for more the risk is that you could fumble if you don't slide.
But he doesn’t fumble that much so why would you guys make it that way. People love running with fast qbs and you punish that by everytime they run and get they hit they fumble. It’s hard to run past defenders on this gmse with fast qbs because apparently defensive tackles and linebackers are as fast me down getting to the out of bounds isn’t always a thing
- @TalkinBot I'm a bit confused reading your assessment. I do not play with Lamar (or Vick or the same) but if I face them in Solos in Competitive mode (e.g. in MUT Solo Battles) I did not see him fumble all year long. and there have been a lot of Solo Battles against a team with QB Lamar (or Vick)...
it is less severe in H2H (but I did not play H2H so much this year) but to me it seems to be more likely to force a fumble against fully powered-up HBs (no matter whether on the first play of the drive...) than to do the same with a scrambling Lamar or Vick...- @Neo_Novalis Honestly, I've seen it happen way more against AI, than I have against a human opponent. The amount of fumble for a QB are just astronomical in connected franchise, against AI. I could be running and a guy could trip up my QB and he will fumble. It's bizarre.
@WrathOfHades85you mean, this is the case if you do a usered scramble with your QB and the AI defender forces the fumble? agree! I don't play with Lamar or Vick, but the ratio of strip sacks to sacks is huge (e.g. for my QB Joe Montana in MUT or Jimmy G in offline franchise). I pretty much don't concede sacks against the AI, but I would guess that at least 1 out of 3 sacks results in a fumble.
but if I try to strip the ball or do a successful hit stick on an AI Lamar while he scrambles, it's almost impossible to force a fumble. I can only remember one time where I forced Kyler Murray to fumble with a hit stick.... but Lamar or Vick? never.
