Yes, if for you sacks coincide with fumbles they are indeed useless, as I have to this point never experienced a fumble resulting from a sack in RZA.

But sacks are not meant to force fumbles. They are meant to push back the offense and make it harder to get the new first down, and in that regard they are far from useless. The HAMBURG SEA LIONS have lost many games where our QB was sacked in crucial situations and unable to get a new set of downs, so there is a lot of merit to it

I disagree. It could be possible doing fumble during a sack action like in real football.
About action it is not so real that doing a sack it is usefull becouse a pass in RZA aim at close down. If you observe a game, many times after a sack action there will be a close pass action for a new first down.
Don't know if there where a penalty after a sack but it seems no.
I hope in the future at least give the possibility of forcing a fumble in sack action

I’m with you on that, it would be another „realistic“ element in the game.

The question would be, though, how to link it to certain skills a player can have. As of now I think fumbling is primarily linked to the skill „Carrying“, which mostly the Runners have a fully developed set of.

Because if you’d want it to be fully rooted in realism, even WRs should fumble the ball now and then, because they get the ball punched out in real life when going for yards after catch as well. And most RZA WRs, even if this specific Assistant Coach does give a bonus on training CAR, don’t have that skill developed well either… at least not in the early stages of their career. And I have never experienced a WR fumble the ball after the catch in RZA, ever.

So I’d guess it’s a bit tricky to get it linked to a sack, then…

A fumble is possible within the first 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage. That's why there's never a fumble after sacks, TfL or passes.

Edit: a fumbleforcer CB is wasted special trait

Not true.

There has been a game where one of my CBs (Danny Osborne with the fumbleforcer trait) (lined up as a CB and not as any other defender) forced a fumble within a game, he did not recover it (the defense did recover), but, that is not true that for CBs fumbleforcer is a wasted trait.

I could be wrong, let me check.

Edit: I did find out that the forced fumble trait indeed does not work with CBs...yet.

I guess I read something wrong when it came to Danny, because I thought he forced a fumble when he did not.

My apologies, just ignore what I said because I can't delete the message

WAW.
How the hell did you manage to squeeze that.
If i was you, i gave him a lot of extra points, and turn him into a beast for next season. Franchise DE straight out of the YA Academy. Not bad.
And if you put him on TM, you will make a fortune

Yeah is it just me being able to read the signs better, good luck or have Youth pulls actually been better lately. Today pulled the 3rd "good pull" in a row, a 16 year old with 48.4 Intelligence and 42 teamwork. But I've been getting a lot with good Teamwork and Intelligence ratings, it's just a question of physicals.

The schedule makers were kind to the HAMBURG SEA LIONS in making the first games to play this season, and with that the last games of the IRL-year 2025, very interesting, in both the league and the Supercup. Up until Dec. 30th we will continue to play only teams from the Sea Devils league, the only exceptions being our good friends the Black Beasts of Dragons league fame… and a bot.

Yesterday in the Supercup we got our first taste of dealing with the St Pauli Packers this season, and they MOTY’d us hard to a 17:38 defeat. Recovery from this beat-down is still ongoing, as all players participating were lining up to see the psychiatrist after the game / this morning/afternoon/evening. It’ll still probably be a factor in the game tomorrow, as the hit was as deep as we seldom had before.

The timing was somewhat bad, too, as we are now handicapped going into our first meeting with the best branded newbie of the league. We are very much looking forward to meet the Reapers, though, and interested to see how we will hold up against them.

After that it’s the Supercup meeting with the Pizti Beltzak. After that we meet the Packers again, same time, same venue… and probably the same outcome, since they are expected again to MOTY us to death. After that it’s the Bergen Bruisers in the Supercup. After that it’s a league meeting with the Gaylord Zaleaping. And after the aforementioned bot game in the Supercup we meet the Manta Rays in the league for the last official game of 2025.

That’s a tough stretch of games, but we love it. That’s what we want, that’s why we came here. It’s gonna be fun times around christmas, that’s for sure 🔥
