How to Juke in Madden NFL 21
The juke is performed by an offensive player with the ball, using the right thumbstick. Whether playing on a PlayStation or Xbox, the right stick can be flicked to the right or left to shake away from defenders.In The Yard, which Game Rant previewedrecently, the juke move adds extra flair. Players juggle the ball behind their back and flaunt in front of defenders who fall on their faces.
Flicking the stick to the left will cause the runner to juke to the left. Flicking the stick to the right makes the runner juke to the right. Controlling the stick for quick minute movements is key to the Madden simulation games, and there are also otherhelpful tips for how to win in The Yard.
On top of a normal juke, players can hurdle by pressing the jump button at the same moment the juke move is inputted. This will allow the player to juke and jump at the same time, effective for getting out of low tackles. The hurdle can be acerebral move, which will help in The Yard.
How to use the Stick
Along with the juke, the stick is also used for other ball carrier moves. Players can truck right over defenders by pushing forward on the right stick. The dead leg, where players slow down for a heartbeat before running forward again, is inputted by tapping back on the right stick. Meanwhile, with the B (Xbox One) or Circle (PlayStation) button is a spin-move, the devastating twist can be pulled off on a stick as well. To spin with the stick, players hold back on the stick and spin it to the left or right, and this spin move can be even more effective than the standard button-based move.
