New move/animation?
 

I think I've seen a new move/animation yesterday playing with the redskins. I was running w/ Clinton Portis to the outside to the right side of the field. I was holding down A (Sprint), and UP/RIGHT on the left analog and i hit L (left juke) i think I pulled it down halfway and he did a fast spin in the direction he was running. Not the usual slow drawn out spin u get when u push B, but it was a fast, smooth spin and he kept on running. I will do more testing when I get home tonight to see if it is indeed a new move. Has anyone else seen this before?

Yeah, I've seen this too. I didn't think anything of it because I thought it was a just missed tackle animation, but now that you mention it...

I knew I wasn't crazy, when I get home tonight gonna test this out on the practice field. What buttons did u press? U on xbox or ps2, I'm on xbox btw.

I think EA this year has setup new animations this year when you press any of the special evade buttons. It all depends on timing and pressing a button at the right moment.

For instance, your running the ball, then press the juke button, but instead of doing the juke, he does a spin away from the defender. But you didnt press the spin button.

Theres also other animations such as the superman dive, where your offensive player ducks underneath a would-be tackler and the tackler goes flying over him.

You can achieve these by simply pressing any evade buttons right when your about to get tackled.

I find that jaming on the "y" button is very efective in getting missed tackle animations. And you dont fumble like with the truck stick.

Re: New move/animation?
 

how do you do this move on the ps2?

Re: New move/animation?
 

yep..that does it for me.

I see a bunch of different animations when I turn down the tackling slider (see PM's low awareness sliders), including the one you just mentioned. I really don't think there's any sort of trick to doing them, but you never know. (because nobody tells us..... :D)
