Through 6 games of the season, my 100 Avoid Fumble RB has now fumbled 11 times. He has 146 touches which makes his fumble rate 7.5%. In his latest game, he had 26 touches and fumbled 5 times!!! That's a rate of 19.2%!!! What the **** is going on?

Hang in there. A few sim cycles ago I was noticing an uptick in fumbling but from what I've seen it's settling back down again.

Ok, I may be able to posit a theory. Serious Injury (Hand) < from last season's championship game.

I haven't studied this side of the game but looking at his preseason rushing average dip perhaps hand vs. fumbling issue is at the root.

This preseason he had 1 fumble in like 60 touches. And the hand injury is in the past. He currently is dealing with and ankle issue.

and an arm injury :( I really think it all stems from that stupid previous serious injury.

I believe it has him on a bad track, unfortunately.

I think it's a product of fumbles following a more linear distribution based on percentage chance still rather than a player's Avoid Fumble being parabolic like other attributes are moving.

Because there are more plays per drive in 0.4.4 code (I'm pretty sure that MFN-2 is on 0.4.4, but maybe not), there is a greater chance of fumbles during any drive.

MFN-2 is still on 4.3.

Over his first seven seasons, he fumbled 0.62% of his plays. This season it is 3.77%, 6 times higher than the rest of his career.

Interesting. How do his 4.3 seasons (should just be the last two or three) compare to 4.2?
