What do you use to break tackles?

Do you use the stiff arm or spin to break tackles?

[ryne candy]

Once you are getting tackled, I don't think either will work (use the R stick to get extra yards and possibly slip out). If you are about to get tackled, I use whichever gives me the better chance of avoiding tackler. If the guy is in front of me, I use spin, if he is to my side, I use stiff arm.

I always break out of tackles by juking or pressing the R-stick up. If a guy is tackling you from the side and you juke in the same direction (basically juking away from him) you can jump out of tackles if your guy is elusive.

the RS doesnt seem to do anything when i use it. Isnt the juke still mapped to the RS or is it the trigger buttons?

still RS

up RS = truck/elude (depending on type of RB)
down RS = juke back
left/right RS = left/right juck

once you are getting tackled, RS becomes "fight for every yard"

thats what i thought they were....same as ncaa. maybe its jamal lewis. I know his juke is shit, but his trucking should be good. And he does make an effort to truck over defenders but it just seems very minimal.

I do try and juke at times too like with Josh Cribbs on KO returns. He barely makes a L/R move when i hit the juke

Maybe its overdone in ncaa compared to madden....or maybe im not doing it right

x(stiff arm) with power backs
right stick(evasive moves) with speedsters

Shameless plug of Marshawn Lynch just not wanting to go down.

Depends on which RB or ball carrier I'm using. If I know it's a bruising power runner, then I'll flick the right analog stick up (truck stick), but if it's more of a finesse quick runner, I'll move the right analog stick left or right, or try and spin out of it.

Stiff arm is my favorite. I love playing with LT cause hes so damn good at it. But usually just juke left and right. And truck any foolish CB who gets in front of Ryan Grant.
