Is a QB fumble considered a strip / sack.
In this simulation when the QB gets stripped or fumbles due to being hit, it is mind boggling how the same QB is in the fray for the loose ball and comes up with it.
I have noticed the same with running backs who fumble on a long runs. Are these fools loosing the ball all alone in the open field and landing on it?
I do not believe I have seen one single fumble returned for a defensive touchdown, or advanced for an offensive touchdown.
Has anyone else noticed this?
I love the game for the strategy. I love getting shocked by interception returns. I love getting out of my chair and yelling a "Hell yeah" when my team stops or finishes a winning score drive. I don't want to seem like I am complaining. Hoping my voice is considered at worst misguided fanatic criticism.

Also WRs never fumble after a catch

As far as fumbles being returned for touchdowns, that is something I need to look at. It may not be possible with the current design which treats fumbles mostly as a scrum as opposed to a player on the run scooping up a loose ball. I had to make a similar adjustment to interception returns at one time as well.

"WR's never fumble after a catch" is a known issue. QB fumble recoveries is based on research but I need to check to make sure the results are matching the design. And criticism is always welcome, it makes the game better.As far as fumbles being returned for touchdowns, that is something I need to look at.

Also while I'm on the subject of fumbles. Through 6 seasons in MAFL, there has been 50 fumbles in 10,240 KR's. There hasn't been a punt fumbled during a return, there have been muffed punts. Boy do I know that one.

It wasn't listed but we can assume safely that QBs loosing the ball when hit by a tackling opponent would lower these chances. This gives us the assumption that most QBs that recover their won fumbles are simply mishandling the ball or having it dislodged and not projected from their reach.
Additionally the question on if a QB fumble and the defense recovers does the defender who forced the fumble gain the sack from that FF was not addressed.
Are strip-sacks and sacks separated in stats?

I did not check all the stats all time for this but I did look at 2012 NFL season stats. In these stats QBs fumbles 267 times. These QBs only recovered their own fumbles 71 times. This leads to less than a 29% chance the QB will have a chance to recover his own fumble.It wasn't listed but we can assume safely that QBs loosing the ball when hit by a tackling opponent would lower these chances.
