Tough pill to swallow for sure. I was about 5 badges per team away from a 95 overall I was figuring in to my lineup and then POOF! Shit was gone when I thought I had a lot more time to finish it. It just makes it really difficult to plan, and strategize your team when the information given by EA isn't accurate.

Quote from Bouncer014 >> I don't play the game anymore, but as others have said, (unless things have drastically changed in this regard) I think it pretty much completely depends on which plays you like to run and which direction you run them.    Back when I did play, I almost exclusively ran to the left (mostly because I wanted to have maximum field to throw to the right), so my best blocking WR went to WR2. But that doesn't necessarily make it the right setup for everyone else.  Start playing again Bouncer. Nothing has changed. It's mostly strategy mixed with random nerfs. We will take you in. Just get yourself ready for next season and ride the pine if you want.

I run to the left more than the right so #2 is involved in more of my run plays. I also run SM so #1 is still seeing a decent amount of blocking action so my 2nd best RBK reciever goes there and slot is only in a few of my overall run plays I use regularly. I use a TE in my slot. I do this mostly because of goaline run plays. It helps to have a good blocker on those short yardage dive type situations.  Everyone does things differently and really you just have to know how you play, and apply things in the best way for your play style.

It's a very valid, logical point for sure. I only run one nickel play in my defensive strategy, but I could definitely see the benefit if you ran nickel quite a bit in your strategy.

I put my pass rusher on the right (as you are looking at your lineup) and my best coverage LB on the left. I do this because a lot of players pass, and rollout to the right and this places my best coverage on that side of the field. I also use my defensive strategy to benefit my linebackers as far as what side is blitzing, etc. That's just me though. Sometimes I don't think it matters what you do, but Bell is awesome.

Apex - What league / network are you with? We have had a bit of fumbling, seems about normal considering all the stronger defensive players as of late, but nothing like what I am seeing on MH. I

I don't have a problem with fumbles. One fumble the past month in LVL.  I love how people just read into things. It's pretty funny really.  My post was a really simple question is all. I don't care what anyone thinks about the 500 factors they believe are related to fumbling, etc., etc. I have played since 2014, I  am aware of QB fumbles, big hit fumbles, and how there are number battles between the defense, and the offense I just wanted to know if anyone knew if the strength attribute has any ties to fumbling. That's it. Example- I get 2 players, one has 10 strength, 99 carry. The other has 99 strength, 10 carry. Who is going to have a higher chance of losing the ball on the exact same hit in the exact same situation? Or would it be a tie? I just want to know if the strength attribute has any carry properties programmed in it.

I am really only interested in knowing if the strength attribute has anything to do with fumbles.  I know carry does, I just want to know if the strength attribute has anything to do with carry. Everyone is pretty aware that fumbles happen more when you use skill moves, a LB with 97htp clocks you, etc. I am not asking about that.
