State of the Sim Transfer: Feb. 10th.

[Z-Whiz]

Fumble numbers:
As of now, we don't have any plans on adjusting Competitiveness nor Hands for QB (sorry @Z-Whiz I was posting this before I saw your question!) It might sound like a non-answer but we're keeping an eye on it. Fumbles are definitely much higher than they were previously, but for comparison's sake:

S26 fumble rate - 0.85 forced fumbles/game
S27 fumble rate (through 6 weeks) - 1.93 forced fumbles/game
NFL 2019 Season FF Rate - 1.73 fumbles/game

I'm not trying to prove a point, I just wanted to put out that while we are on pace for much, much higher fumble numbers, they are not egregiously more than we see in the NFL, which was our benchmark throughout development.

Thank you for the info Pat. I appreciate what the transfer team has and is doing. I understand how much of a pain testing is. It will take time to perfect, but I think the league is already better with 21 than with 16.

Some of the big positives I've found is the HFA is dramatically smaller. It went from around 15-17% boost for the home team to around 5% (from what I've found). I think that provides a more "any team can win any game" type feeling and that's good for the league as a whole. Another is the elimination of the game "breaking points" for speed, whether it's new coding or archetype build limitations. No longer does 79-speed QB or 79-speed RB way out perform those with much higher speed traits. Keep up the good work!
