QB Sacks & Fumbles

March 05, 2011 at 01:55AM View BBCode

My QB has been sacked 50 times and has not fumbled and neither have the QBs from the teams that I am playing. Is this in play because a blindside sack causes TOs quite often.

Have to agree with the blindside situation. I was thinking about this myself.

I think maybe these just got put in, because I'm in the conference championship and just had the first QB fumble after a sack all year

i wonder if this is maybe reported differently when there's a fumble:

2nd and 6 for the Hamiltonians, they line up in a I Formation; the Roughriders line up in a 4-3.
Priest Newsom takes the snap and drops back into the pocket.
Newsom fumbles the ball at the HAM 25 after a hit by Andy Franco.
Priest Newsom recovers the ball for the Hamiltonians at the HAM 24.


i've seen two of those now through 2Q.

Nevermind, I misread the above post

After Fredbirds's post, I went through and found a bug preventing fumbles on sacks from happening. It has been fixed.

Chris, does the game factor in any cumulative effect of heavy pressure and sacks?

After watching a lot of football over the years, I see that QBs who get thrown to the ground a few times start to rush throws and make quicker, sometimes poorer decisions after a while. That's the whole point of putting the pressure on, right?

Certainly sometimes the point is to get the QB out of the game, too, which I know does happen in this game. But I am not sure if QB fatigue is affected by pressure and sacks. If not, perhaps it should be. Maybe moreso than pass attempts, which I don't think really tire a QB at all unless you get to super-high numbers.

QB fatigue is affected by sacks but not simple pressure, although more pressure leads to more sacks (In fact I may remove non-blindside sacks in non-pressure situations, because if you aren't being pressured how can you be sacked?). There is no other cumulative affect yet, although it's an interesting idea. (There is some code toward rushing throws, but it's not fully impemented yet.)
