To make the game more realistic, there should be a chance that your KR fumbles the ball on punt return catches depending on your KR's catching ability. The lower your KR's catching ability, the higher chance there is of dropping the ball on the kick catch.

I like the idea, but catching punts alone is not the same as catching with a CB marking you so it should be easier.

Especially with a new manager and his new team with low catching skill for his KR, he would fumble the ball far too often imo.

Plus if there's a punt fumble shouldn't there be a kickoff return fumble?

Typically kickoff catch fumbles are recovered by the return team pretty quickly because it takes awhile for the coverage team to get down the field.

And you'd have to adjust the rate at which punts/kickoffs are fumbled. It would be a rare occurrence for the majority of KRs and even rarer for KRs with high catching ability.

Gotcha Given a realistic rate for the fumble to occur, I like this suggestion

Oh, good.


Another reason for me to curse at my monitor.

Good idea. Low priority, probably ..... although Admin has something in the works to modify kick returns, so you may get your wish sooner than you think.

It's not going to be a change that drastically influences gameplay, and it rightfully should be lower priority, I just think it's an addition that would make the game a bit more realistic.

I am not going to go through all of my games to find the one or two times that this has happened, but the KR fumbled the ball on a punt and the punting team recoverd the ball.

The text said something like the punting team recoverd the ball and has a new first down.

Maybe this type of fumble includes miscatches on the part of the KR.

Does it though...? Anyone know for sure?

What I haven't seen yet is a wide receiver fumbling a ball after a catch.

If that is not possible yet, that should also be added.
