Just looking at my team stats, it looks like very few fumbles are recovered by the defense. In real football, this is actually pretty close to a 50%/50% proposition.

See data: Fumble Statistics

May be the skills of the defense are not good enough to recover the ball. I don't know.

In 2% of my all over rushplays a fumble occured. Seem to be realistic

I lost only 20% of my fumbles.

My guess is that in RL, forcing fumbles is a skill. Recovering fumbles is mostly luck, but I think its like 50-60% for the defense versus 20% in RZA.

The suggestion is to raise the quote of defense recovered fumbles, Steve?

I think that is what he suggested. Is it only a fixed quote or is the chance to recover a fumble related to skills, PC, Experience, Moral or what ever?

I'm not 100% sure how its being calculated now. In general, if you've watched football, you'll notice that a fumble recovery (not forcing the fumble) is a pretty random event (football bounce kind of funny). In general, if a 50%-50% chance I think...maybe even weighted more towards the defense because they tend to have more players around the ball.

I guess it could be influenced by skills - - to some degree. But, if its 20% defense/80% offense (as Buffalo suggested) on the recoveries, that's seems out of line with the actually numbers.

The calculation is mainly based on the yardage between each players position and the ball (fumble location). The nearer a player is, the higher his chance is to secure the ball. Being the closest doesnt mean you secure the ball automatically.

Hmmm...but for a fumble to happen, doesn't the offensive player, defensive player and the ball all have to be at the spot of the forced fumble?

I don't see how the offense should recover 80% of them fumbles then??

Just a quick look at my Running Backs, and I have 21 Fumble Recoveries and 22 Fumbles. Effectively there is no penalty for having poor carrying because I'm recovering 95% of them anyway.
