Transforming short plays into game-breaking touchdowns requires mastering ball carrier moves. Whether you're catching the ball or executing a designed run, these techniques are key to gaining explosive yards.

Spin Moves

  • Basic Spin: Tap the Circle button to perform a quick spin in your current direction. 
  • Extended Spin: Hold the Turbo button (R2) while tapping Circle for a longer, exaggerated spin. This move is perfect for cutting upfield and evading defenders.

Jukes

  • Basic Juke: Flick the right stick in the direction you want to cut. 
  • Enhanced Juke: Hold R2 while flicking the right stick for a more dramatic juke, increasing your chances of outmaneuvering defenders. 
  • Double Juke: Quickly flick the right stick one way and then the other. This move is especially effective if your player has a juke move rating of at least 94.

Stop-and-Go

  • Execution: Flick the right stick down to decelerate and dodge defenders approaching from the side.

Hurdling

  • Execution: Tap Triangle (or Y) to leap over defenders. Be cautious, as you risk fumbling if hit midair.

Power Moves

  • Trucking: Flick the right stick up to truck through defenders, ideal for short-yardage situations. 
  • Stiff Arm: Press the X/A button to fend off defenders, especially useful for power backs.

(NEW) Reach and Dive

  • Reach for It: Hold the right stick up when nearing the first down line or end zone to stretch for extra yardage. 
  • Dive: Hold Square and aim with the left stick to dive toward your target. It's straightforward and effective!

By mastering these moves, you’ll be well-equipped to turn ordinary plays into extraordinary touchdowns. Happy gaming!
