If you wanted to post some of the jukes and juke spin combinations, I think that would be terrific.

I will work on compiling some of these. I wish I could figure out how to post videos from Xbox.com to show in live motion. I cant get on any video sharing sites (youtube) from my computer at work so that is not an option.
More to come!

Truck Stick

Screen 1: This is where I need to start to make my decision on what move will work best. I am a BIG back and am one on one against a small LB. Truck stick time!

Screen 2: I start to square up my body to the defender to give my RB a bigger advantage to run over the DB as opposed to angling my body like the stiff arm. I now initiate the flick upon the R-stick.

Screen 3: After flicking up on the R-stick my RB starts to do the work. When trucking defenders, I always make sure to continue to use the speed burst button as the more momentum the better.

Screen 4 and 5: The truck works to perfection and I now have my head up looking for the next unlucky defender.

Spin Move

This is a spin move w/ Andrew Luck so it is a more mobile QB but, not the most elusive in the league.

This is a time I like to do a spin move up field and many may have not thought of using it in this instance.

Screen 1: This is where the decision needs to be made. I have three options. Extend to the sideline(not a good idea as defender is shedding block), Take on the linebacker filling (not a good idea w/a QB), and try to make a move back inside and get up the open hole..ding ding ding.. option 3.

Screen 2: I have planted my foot in the ground to get north and south and have made my decision. I am now going to initiate my spin.

Screen 3: I tap B/O, and hold the L-Stick in the direction I am desiring to go. in this case, it is up the middle of the field.

Screen 4: Spin works beautifully and I have an open path int he middle of the field.. IF... my lineman makes the downfield block.

Screen 5: I broke some ankles, the lineman got the block, now there is nothing left in my way except green pastures.. (I got caught from behind as you will see int he vid clip)

Using LT as a Juke in the backfield is your friend

I have mentioned that using LT/L2 in some circumstances can really help.

1 big example of that is when you notice a great bull rush or free rusher before receiving a hand off.

I live by using LT/L2 in the backfield when it looks like I am about to lose yardage before the RB even receives the hand-off.

To do this, simply press and hold the LT/L2 trigger, DO NOT hold turbo, and move the L-Stick in the desired direction you would like to go.

This is a better, more efficient, move to use in the backfield at most times than the juke.

Screen 1: My RB is about to receive the hand-off but, I notice the run defense is in great position. I have a man to the left and a man blowing up the blocking in the middle. The only option I have is to get on my horse and bounce outside ASAP.

Screen 2: I receive the hand-off, all the while I am holding down the LT/L2 trigger.

Screen 3: As I am still holding down the LT/L2 trigger I quickly hold my L-Stick to the right. Do not hold turbo yet as cuts are not as precise.

Screen 4: The cut has been initiated and my RB is now bouncing the ball outside to the right. I can now let go of the LT/L2 trigger as I do not need the precise modifier anymore. This is where I want to use or at least start to think about using turbo to get away from the free rusher.

Screen 5: I am now holding down the RT/R2 turbo trigger to get my RB hashes, numbers, sidelines and away from all of the chaos in the middle. After the quick cut the free rusher has no chance to keep up with my RB.

Insanely helpful, thank you for taking the time to post all your breakdowns of the moves. I never would've thought to use the L2/Juke combo in the backfield like that.

More LT/L2 moves used for a couple yards w/the R-L-R juke (third play). (I know there was a bigger hole I was doing this for emphasis)

Re: Eluding and Breaking Tackles: Tips, Tricks and Observations

We all agree Madden has many flaws, but on of the positives is the renewed focus on moves and animations. Everyone can spam the b button and that is great, but I wanted to create a thread dedicated to the subtleties of elusiveness and/or tackle breaking.

What movements or movement combos do you use? Have you found that hitting certain buttons after contact helps you, have you learned any real insights?

I will get it started by saying I have tried more and more to cutback against the grain to simulate real life and have found moderate success. The precision modifier often seems to slow the runner down too much, but nothing is quite as awesome as cutting back against the entire defensive flow, finding a seam and taking it to the house.

Thanks for the info...Love breaking tackles, its fun and i hope that they put more time into making tackling more fun in the coming years.

PS: Also please speak for yourself dude, not all of us agree Madden has many flaws. I will say this though, there is not a game out there, especially sports games, that are not prone to bugs and flaws. Over the 30 years of gaming...i know when a game is riddled with bugs and madden is not bad, yes it has its problems (like any game) but it's a pretty fun game of football, Indeed.
