4 fumbles by WR's in that game alone...its much more rare for WR's to fumble in real life than HB's...so im hoping that PP's recommendation to Bort fixes this...
completely agree...That's why I included that section saying this needs to be looked at/tweaked, even though that wasn't the test I was running.What are the wr builds in those games?
I dont see the problem with an initial increase in frequency of WR fumbles, provided it is related to WR builds. There might/will be more turnovers to start off with but both teams will experience this and should even out against evenly matched teams (its effects both teams since most wrs are built very similarly).
Also, an increase in wr fumbles is good for the zone fix as now zones will be more beatable but at the same token there is more risk/reward... continue building speedsters to blowup the zone and risk more turnovers or build possessions wrs that can be defended by the zone (pds/ints) but do not cough it up.
I just would rather see the right fix be implemented and let us fix our builds over the next season or two than to half-ass the fix and then have to go back later and readjust it. That said, the key to making a big change like this is communication (Bort should make an announcement to let everyone know this is coming).
Lastly, I wouldnt say its "rare" for a WR to fumble in real life as it seems most of the big name wrs in the NFL average 1-2 fumbles per season (certainly not as many as HBs average but significantly more than the 1 fumble my season 1 WR has accumulated over 13 seasons despite having average at best carrying/strength/etc).
