How to Slide with the QB Slide and Run the Speed Option
Here’s how to protect your quarterback and run the tricky speed option in Madden 26.
How to Slide with the QB Slide
When scrambling with the QB, avoid big hits by sliding, simply tap X on Xbox or Square button on PlayStation.
How to Run the Speed Option
When running a speed option, always read the defender with the P icon over their head; this marks the pitch key defender.
At the snap, this defender will choose to either cover the QB or the pitch.
If they commit to the QB, press LB/L1 to pitch the ball to your running back and create big plays. If the defender covers the pitch, keep the ball with the QB and pick up easy yards on the ground.
