Been playing the game, no major issues.
I have noticed on pitch plays that at times it appears that the back is bending over picking up the ball. Is that because of the design of the play or an issue with the graphics that maybe can be fixed?

Hmm can't really say for sure. There is a 'take hand off' animation. Is that what you're seeing?

FUMBLE!
Is the timing good enough for a clean hand off?

I think the player just lowers his arms and it kinda looks like he leans forward a little [:)]

Honestly, I can't tell what I see as it all happens so fast. It just appears that the back is scooping the ball up off the ground is the only way I can describe it.

I have seen something similar with kickoff/punt returns. It almost looks like the returner has to touch the ground with the ball before he can run.

This is by design. Depending on how high off the ground the ball is when the KR gets it a different animation takes place. If the KR catches the ball below his knees (there abouts) he'll run the animation of bending down to get it. If it's at his waist or higher, he'll do the normal catch kick animation.
