Sliders - fumbles and others

My league is averaging 4 user fumbles a game vs cpu. We want to tune that down but have no idea which direction the slider needs to go, left or right.

is there somewhere that details what exactly all the sliders do?

thanks,

    Hey Madden fans,

    The Madden team provided this update around fumbles in today's title update.

    Tuning & Balancing:

    Tuning around fumble rates and stiff-arm strength

    DEV NOTE: We have heard our players’ voices relative to the frequency of fumbles and the power of the stiff-arm move. While this tuning will decrease some of the frustrations around fumbles and stiff arms globally, this is just the first step in a series of planned updates that will bring more exact situational tuning.

    One important note regarding fumbles: the fumble rate for QB’s is higher intentionally, especially on Competitive game-style, in order to provide balance for scrambling QB’s.

    You can avoid fumbling with your QB by using the QB Slide mechanics: either tap the dive button while NOT holding down the Acceleration burst button; or hold both Acceleration Burst AND the Precision Modifier and tap the dive button to slide with your QB. A similarly useful counter to the stiff-arm move is the cut stick tackle, which can be activated by flicking down on the tackle stick.

  • @tuinsc88 The lower the number, the less frequent the fumbles. 50 means what EA thinks happens in real life. 100 is double that, 0 is next to none (although you will still have some).
  • My thing is you shouldn’t have to adjust sliders so you don’t fumble. And I’m covering the ball for almost every hit now and still fumbling 3 times a game. And when I force a fumble my players don’t pick up the ball???
