I know alot of people are worried about stats at this point..but what i am worried about is the way the ball bounces.

If a RB fumbles will it always be foward?Does a DB always intercept the ball if it hits his hand..or can it "bounce" off his fingertips and into a recievers arms..or vice versa?

Tipped balls,blocked passes,and batted passes..possible?Along with some strange plays after the snap,not the norm,affecting results?

Balls tipped into a receivers hands are possible and they do happen. This was one of those happy side effects I hadn't really planned. It just happened one game as I was testing the DB coverage systems. I stepped through my code that runs while the ball is in flight and I realized how it was happening. Because it's "unintended actions" it would technically qualify as a bug, but it was pretty neat that it worked out that way so obviously I never fixed that particular bug. And yes, I've seen the WR tip the ball into a DB's hands. I've only seen a double tip once. I don't think any of my testers have seen a double tip or I'm sure I would have seen a post about it.

Fumbles don't always go forward.

Linemen can bat the ball down from the LOS.

Well one man's bug is another man's feature.
