Physics-Based Tackling

Cut loose and attack the ball with powerful Hit Sticks, Cut Sticks, trucks, dives, and stiff arms with more control and realism than ever. A new data-driven physics system considers timing, momentum, weight, speed, strength, and player ratings to inform 1-on-1 ball carrier impact for a wider variety of explosive and authentic physical outcomes.

Reloaded Hit Stick

Bring power in every phase of the game. The reengineered Hit Stick uses a timing-based mechanic to provide harder-hitting control determined by your angle of impact, stick-skill, and accuracy for cut sticks, big hits, and trucks, with more realistic physical movements and results.

Run the rock with confidence and command. A new Ball Carrier Balance and Recovery System gives you control to absorb a big hit, break the tackle, and recover your balance based on the quality of the hit and the ratings of the players involved.
