With another installment of EA Sports’ famed American football franchise flying off the shelves and into our hearts—cynically or otherwise—it’s always fun to linger on the new features, changes, and the like. Yet on the other side of the coin, it is crucial to remember the core elements of gameplay that have stuck with the franchise throughout the years. That is why you’re here today, and why this guide is going to take you through how to juke in Madden NFL 23. And while it may just be a simple flick of the stick, there are a couple of key factors to consider in order to get the most out of the tried and true ability.
How to Juke in Madden NFL 23
We like to joke about how little Madden changes from year to year—because those jokes mirror reality, and it’s how we cope—but when it comes to juking, there’s nothing wrong with keeping it simple. So, to perform a juke move, all you need to do is flick the right joystick on both PlayStation and Xbox while running with the football. This simple flick will see your ball-carrier attempt to side-step an opponent, and is a nifty maneuver to utilize when you’re looking to gain extra yards.
That said, like with all skill-based moves, there’s never truly a 100 percent rate of success. To juke is the simple part, but precise timing and the right player can make all the difference. Seeing as your ball-carrier is likely to be a running back or wide receiver, try to find agile players with a high change of direction rating in order to get the most out of a juke move.
With that, we think you’re ready to juke every which way in Madden NFL 23. And if you’re still feeling a little hungry, be sure to check out our other guides such as how to hurdle, how to throw each and every pass this installment has to offer, and even more below.
