Alright, let’s talk about how I figured out this whole fumble thing in Madden 24. It wasn’t exactly smooth sailing at first, I gotta say.
So, I was messing around in the game, right? Just trying to get better at defense ’cause, honestly, I was getting torched out there. I knew there had to be a way to knock the ball loose more often, but I just couldn’t get the hang of it. I mean, I was pressing buttons like a madman, but nothing seemed to work consistently.
Then, after a bunch of trial and error, I finally narrowed it down. Turns out, the key is timing and the right button. I started focusing on using RB on my Xbox controller when I was chasing down the ball carrier. I’d wait until I was right on them, about to make the tackle, and then BAM! Hit that RB.
-
First steps:
- Get close: First thing I did was practice getting as close as possible to the guy with the ball. No use trying to strip it from across the field, right?
- Chase them down: I used the sprint button (RT on Xbox) a lot to close the distance quickly.
-
The moment of truth:
- The strip: Once I was right on the ball carrier’s tail, that’s when I’d press RB. It’s like a quick jab to try and knock the ball out.
- Practice makes perfect: It didn’t happen every time, but I definitely started seeing more fumbles the more I practiced this timing.
At first, I was hitting it way too early, or way too late. But once I got the timing down, man, it was like a lightbulb went off. Suddenly, I was causing fumbles left and right. It felt pretty darn good, I’m not gonna lie.
I also realized that if you’ve got a PlayStation, the button is R1 instead of RB. I don’t have a PlayStation myself, but I figured I’d throw that in there for any of you who do.
It’s not foolproof, mind you. Some players are just harder to strip than others, and sometimes you’ll just miss. But using this method definitely upped my fumble game by a ton. I’m still working on perfecting it, but it’s made a huge difference in my defense.
So yeah, that’s my story of how I finally got the hang of forcing fumbles in Madden 24. It took some patience and a whole lot of button-mashing, but I got there in the end. Give it a try and see if it works for you!
