Demo Juke Move

[Bcolt93]

has anyone else noticed how bad the juke move has been in the demo? it seems like its a giant hop, and i normally get killed doing it, especially in open field when it should be a quick cut

Re: Demo Juke Move

not having the same problem i think you have to have some momentum and speed for the quick cut. if u slow down then juke u will get the hop juke. and i can tell they tweaked the running motion.

Not having this problem. Also pressure on the stick affects how, big/small the juke is.

Re: Demo Juke Move

alright i'll try and make the adjustment. I'm getting kinda annoyed at having a one on one with a safety and then getting blasted as my guy takes the big hop step. either the safety lights him up or i get destroyed from behind

Also, if you go into the menu during gameplay and look under "what's new" it talks about new juke moves for different types of players. This might have something to do with it.

didn't see that, will defiantly give that a look. makes sense that i wasn't having to many problems with the shorter but quicker wide outs

And here I was thinking it was really good.

I have never been able to use the juke move effectively. Could get a good spin move to get around a guy, but never the juke move.

Not a fan of the new juke move at all. Too sluggish and clunky. It looked worse in some of the early videos a month or so ago.

I like a subtle juke and more of a hop juke for the higher level RBs, WRs and QBs. I would love to see a little stutter with a wiggle really.

way to stiff, its like a half cut more than a juke.... ps2 jukes were 10x better lol.

Re: Demo Juke Move

In general the jukes are either too big, slow and drawn out or too small and subtle to be effective. The reason they aren't as effective as they could be IMO is because tackles are sped up and they have a huge tackle radius. The large tackle radius coupled with a lack of momentum makes those one on one opportunities wins more often than not for the tackler. A tackler can be coming at you full speed where his momentum should carry him beyond the ball carrier but when you juke the tackle animation kicks in and it engulfs you. And its a picture perfect tackle every time.

Maybe it'll be tweaked in the retail version since they're hyping special moves but, when the dude from EA was showing Heisman Challenge and couldn't even juke with Barry Sanders in Matrix mode I figured not much if anything has been done with the juke. I mean Barry could make you miss in a phone booth.

Some years ago the jukes, spins, etc were a tad bit overdone but instead of small tweaks in true EA fashion they tend to nuke things and we end up with running while twisting your torso.

I actually was liking the jukes. The old juke move has always been unrealistic. It made every player Barry Sanders

Agreed. Depending on how you pressed the button you would get a different juke. I miss the short quick juke to cut to space.
