Anytime the RBs or FBs rush down the middle for over 10 yards in the open field on a play, the percentages of them fumbling increase to about 75%. This has been a problem for a long time. Even before the recent code changes. This game should reward the offensive line for creating the open hole and reward the back for a long rush instead of penalizing him with fumbles.

A 75% increase to a very low rate is fine.

I had the best yards per rush in my league, with most runs going less than two or more than 10. Most fumbles happened in the back field.

It’s not realistic though. That a high percentage of 10+ yard runs through the middle result in fumbles. One per game maybe, but not several for the game. I think it has to do with the RBs high speed and if that’s the case, the idea is to use lower speed RBs who won’t fumble as much. But they won’t get the 10+ yard runs either. Seems like just another tactic to create more parity in the game.

Running backs fumbling is way over-stated period.
