The draft is underway!

Click here to go to your war room, or visit the war room item in the draft menu.

This league has just begun! Because this is a new league, it will be a few days before the allocation draft begins (the countdown timer above shows when the first pick will fire). This is a great time to get a team as you will be able to build it from scratch! If you don't want to wait for the draft, though, check to see if there is a team in an established league that you can take over.

NOTE: As of the last sim, this league was under the minimum 20% capacity. Invite your friends to join MyFootballNow to keep this league alive! Then send them to this league to become the owner of a team! The league will expire at 8/01/2025 8:00 am.

Fumbles have been stupidly high for all versions, but I agree it's gotten worse in 0.4.3. I think the problem is in 0.4.3 it takes more plays to score, and fumbles like all the other stupid things in the game (looking at you holding penalties) are based on a percentage chance per play rather than on player attributes. More plays, more chances to fumble. I've basically stopped looking at avoid fumble and a lot of attributes because it just makes me frustrated.

We're 12 games into our leagues' season, and we've got 7 guys with over 10 fumbles, three of whom have avoid fumble ratings over 80. Anyone who's fumbled that often would, IRL, be cut. Something is clearly outta whack here.

Seems rather random too, my rain RB, with an avoid fumble rating of 75, only has 2 fumbles in 12 games. That seems more normal.

The only clarification here is that AF does play a reduced role in avoiding a fumble, like Discipline plays a reduced role in avoiding a penalty, in that (I'm almost certain) AF is rolled after the chance for fumble on the play to see if the player avoids fumbling on a for sure fumble play.

Also, some fumbles are the result of the backwards pitch.
