Request For: Pro Football Request Title: Onside Kick Recovery Percentage Description I'm not sure if this is a bug or feature, but either the chance of the kicking team recovering an onside kick seems ridiculously high or I'm just on a run of unbelievably bad RNG rolls. Going back thru last season and 3 games of this preseason in the CEL the opponents have recovered 4 onside kicks (including 2 in a row in one game) and my receiving team has recovered 2. The NFL onside kick recovery rate over the last ten years has ranged from a high of 21.43% to a low of 4.23%, and a median of 9.4%. I don't have enough samples to know if the Dolphinsim number is anywhere near this value, or if it's intentionally much higher to encourage exciting endings. But it is frustrating as it appears to be a coin flip and nothing a coach can control directly. Can we at least put some hints in the help file about the nature of onside kicks and if there are any controllable factors that affect the outcome?
