Works fine for me on the xbox, it's a great animation too.

On Xbox it does, you just have to press it way ahead of time.

It works on the 360, but the timing is different than it used to be. On current gen you could just stick the stiff arm out there while the defender was still 2-3 feet away. On the 360 I get the best results by waiting until the defender is a little bit closer (1-2 feet).

Note also that the players now have stiff arm ratings as part of their attributes(360 version only). If the runner has a low number, no amount of gamer skill is going to overcome that.

Yeah I've had some success with it on regular Xbox. I use it much more often than a spin or juke. You just need to make sure you press the stiff arm button about a second before you get hit.
