Do you want to stiff arm the defense in Madden NFL 24? As a runner, there are plenty of hurdles to overcome. While it is nice to rely on jukes to avoid the defense, sometimes you need to show a little force. Keep them at bay with the stiff arm technique.
You don’t always want to rely on the stiff arm technique since another defense player can come from the other side and cause a turnover. The best stiff arms are when the defense is on only one side of your offense player.
Start the game off with a great kick and take to the field with or with friend to face off against. Lob the ball to a receiver so they can run the field for a touchdown celebration. While running, use the stiff arm to defend yourself. Here is how to stiff arm in Madden 24.
Madden 24 – How to stiff arm
If you want to stiff arm in Madden 24, you will need to hold the A button on Xbox Series X/S or the X button on PlayStation 5. If you are on PC, you will need to hold the E button/key.
Alternatively, you can choose to protect the ball as well while you run by holding RB or R1 on Xbox or PlayStation. This is the space bar on PC. You can also truck, hurdle, and do a variety of other juke moves, but the stiff arm is effective.
Using the stiff arm move might allow you to get some extra yards out of your run, but it isn’t a maneuver you want to rely on heavily. Combine this maneuver with some a dead leg juke or two using the right stick and it will be more effective. Backs like Derrick Henry, Nick Chubb, Jonathan Taylor, and Joe Mixon are good for doing this.
The reason why the stiff arm isn’t the most effective is because it leaves your player open on the other side. While they are swatting defenders, a defensive assist can easily tackle them from the side to cause a fumble. Then, another player could come in for a recovery. Any ball carrier, so a TE, WR, RB, or QB, can use this move.
EA Sports has improved the game with new maneuvers and more player control. Scramble to escape the defense and sprint down the field for a touchdown. The switch player option allows you to take control of any player on the field with a simple click of a button. Be sure to slide before getting hit to avoid injury.
