Am I the only one that thinks QB fumbling is out of hand?

I get that you need to try and slide to get down, but some times the defense gets lucky and gets there before you can get down.  I think of the last 20 or so times my cam has gotten breathed on, I probably didn't fumble only one time and that was a pleasant surprise.

Quote from BLUES >> Escape artist is necessary because of the insta shed 4 man rushes because of abilities. Escape artist counters the cheese man blitzes and OP 4 man rushes. Nerf both and we’re good but can’t talk about escape artist with the pass rush as OP as it is

I block atleast 6 90% of the time and get insta sacked by 4 man’s way too often while having big number advantage because of the abilities

I don’t use escape artist either I use Mariota but I’m getting an escape artist QB asap because of this 

 Agree with this. 

And to clarify my op, I don't scramble 20 times a game, I scramble as a last ditch effort if no one's open, but like I said, if I get breathed on, 99% of the time it's a fumble which is stupid, and no you can't always slide when the defender is there.  A few times I've tried to slide and if there's a defender animation that's already triggered, guess what, you're not gonna be able to slide.

I don’t think scrambling an fumble enough, I make many tackles scrambling qbs but unless it’s a hit stick most of the time they even though they are running, juking , but you tAke a normal qb and get a few yards and even breathed on it’s a fumble everytime , everytime, escape artist is way to op, you pretty much have the entire run stretch dive , and if you have to pass if the post route isn’t open run with the qb. They said they were supposed to balance the game for pocket qbs but this is the worst ever by far

Cam especially is a fumble machine.  I think it’s fine... another counter to guys that abuse these op abilities on offense.  

I think they need to increase it actually... like if an enforcer gets too close the valley should come loose (and there should be a small puddle left on the field).

they don't fumble enough imo.

QB fumbling is good. lol 

Keeps the scramble cheesers honest. 

Don't like fumbling? Slide or stop running with your QB. LOL

As others have said, you’ve have to have something to counter fast break and escape artist.  I just recommend with your QB less.  Get the ball in the hands of the guys with better carrying stats

Quote from Dreverse >> It’s stupid  you can sack the qb and rarely will he fumble even though in real football that’s we’re more fumbles happen but soon as the qb runs 1 inch past the line of scrimmage gets hit it’s a fumble and that rarely happens but it’s like 90 % of the time if you scramble 

 AGREED!

I’d be fine if they reduced the fumble rate IF you couldn’t slide when the defender is already standing on your toes.  You can pretty much slide while your being tackled and it’s ridiculous.

its just not needed

dibble_fro20

that is true, i just don't like the p****s that use escape artist every play

Quote from dibble_fro20 >> the part about options is true, but I was playing H2H and Lamar would scramble every play and get out of the pocket easily, but wouldn't run the ball bc he fumbled twice that game already. It lets players not have to worry about escape artist too much.

 Oh escape artist is dumb as f***. I just want regular running on option plays, that’s all. Even fast break doesn’t trigger on triple options and shovel options and it should. Again the ability is terrible, but if it’s in the game it should work

Quote from Syph >> I mean, if you scrambling 20+ times you kind of deserve to be fumbling trying to take on LBs. It's better than last year where the QB would kill SS with a stiff arm then scramble for a TD. 

 What about option teams who run option, powers, and triple options? Why should your QB fumble when it just doesn’t happen like that in real life. Not to mention the fact they make the QBs run in slow motion on triple option and even on SPEED options. It’s fucked and by far my biggest annoyance with the game.
