QUESTION-ratings for an RB who can catch but fumbles?

QUESTION-ratings for an RB who can catch but fumbles?

I was modifying the ratings for Tiki Barber just now and it presented an interesting quandry -
Given the way ratings are used in this game, how would one place the ratings properly to reflect an early career TIki Barber, ie a RB who has great hands in the passing game for receptions and the like, but conversely fumbles a lot? Normally, to reflect the tendency to fumble, I would think to give this RB a low Hands rating. However, if they are good at receiving passes, Hands would need to be high.
Should I go ahead and set Hands at a high level, and set Intelligence low? I seem to recall that INT might affect tendency to fumble; is that true?

I always thought about this too and suggested having a separate rating that influences fumbles and not pass catching ability (like the “carrying” attribute in Madden) since the early PFS days.

I also would be interested to know how the game handles this now too!

According to the guide, Strength affects a player's ability to break tackles and force/avoid fumbles, so you could try lowering his Strength rating.
