Madden NFL 21 Ball Carrier Controls Guide
Ball Carrier Controls
These controls are similar to how they have always been, but the game mechanics are slightly different. Real Player Motion physics allows you to make more precise cuts and change direction in a hurry. If you lay off the acceleration button and save the bursts of speed for when you make cuts, you’ll find you make many more yards as a running back and can even leave defenders grabbing at air.
