NFL average last decade: 2.27
Interceptions per team per game: just under 1
NFL average last decade: just over 1
Fumbles per game : .63
NFL average last decade: 1.56
Small samples I know but it looks like fumbles, or lack of, are an issue .

When watching NFL games, I notice fumbles sometimes occur while the ball carrier is struggling for the extra yard or to break a tackle [Carrier is stood up and another defender aplies a devastating hit or the ball is clawed out].
We could make break tackle a double edged sword by having a slight possibility of fumble come into play when high break tackle is applied in the code.
Lower break tackle = less fumble chance.
This would allow GMs to draft aggressive receivers with a chance of fumble, or to draft a safe, 'hands' reciever that would get little YAC.
I suppose that carry and hands would have also figure in somehow.

NFL defenders have become far more aggressive at trying to force fumbles than they used to. It's becoming something of an art form to try to strip the ball while tackling. It would not surprise me if the past 5 years have higher totals than previous years.

Actually it was slightly higher in the '90s averaging just over 1.6 fumbles a game for the decade .

I suppose this is why anecdotal evidence and reading articles about defense don't really do as much good as finding actual numbers.

But we should never let the facts get in the way of a good story :spin:

Wasn't the nineties the decade of 'the Bears defense'? The whole league started doing it Hold up the carrier while he got yards and try to strip the ball away before he fell down. A team had 5-6 tries for the fumble before the offense scored.:P

I really like the idea of tying in 'Break Tackle' with fumbling after the catch.

I am also thinking of making this a setting... basically a whole page of "aggressiveness" settings where you would decide how safe to play it on both offense and defense: throwing into traffic, covering a receiver extra closely (risking pass interference but stopping/intercepting more), blocking strategies (block longer risking more holding calls), etc. Basically these would act as modifiers on aggressiveness in some cases, and be different lookup tables in others. I'm picturing it as a page of sliders, although like the Run More/Pass More the sliders would probably need to be more than halfway toward one end or the other to really make a difference (maybe set them up so they range from -2 to +2 rather than 0 to 100).
