This move can be used to cut into tight lanes and gain some extra yardage with a quick pivot and direction change. To perform a hard cut, you must be carrying the ball. Then, hold the LT (Xbox users) or L2 (PlayStation users) trigger and move the left joystick in your preferred direction.

This tool is handy as you can perform it without losing too much momentum.

This strategic tool can be used to get ball carriers a few extra yards or to first down if they’re being pursued by a defender or even a touchdown. You can dive by pressing and holding the X (Xbox users) or Square (PlayStation users) button.

It can make all the difference between reaching first down, making a touchdown, or suffering a failure when there isn’t much room to work with.

Stiff arms are essential for running backs and, with the right timing, can completely change the course of the game. This move will push away defenders and keep the play going in critical situations.

To perform a Stiff Arm, ensure a defender is near, then press A (Xbox users) or X (PlayStation Users). It’s excellent for evading tackles and getting a few extra yards. Remember that a Stiff Arm's effectiveness depends on several factors, including the ball carrier’s Stiff Arm Rating, so it may not be completely effective when you try to perform it.

You can use various tricks to win a match, but sometimes, all you need is a well-timed lateral pass. Performing one is simple, in theory, but it’s a high-risk, high-reward play. The pass is best used on kickoff and punt returns if your teammates are close enough to you or when you’re heading downfield and are about to run out of stamina as a defender brings you down. 

To perform a lateral pass, ensure you’re running, then press L1 (PlayStation users) or LB (Xbox users). 

If you don’t perform it properly, you will fumble the ball. Lateral passes are a great way to turn the game in your favor, but they can also lead to you handing the ball to the opposing team.

This mechanic may seem simple, but it’s tough to master. It’s a simple way to stop the momentum of the offensive team by forcing a fumble. While in defensive pursuit of the ball carrier, you will want to hit RB (Xbox users) or R1 (PlayStation users) once you get close enough to them.

There are many moving parts associated with stripping the ball, so it can be a bit inconsistent. You need to consider Players' ratings and X-Factors and how close you are to them when considering the success rate of a strip attempt. Remember that a failed strip will allow a ball carrier to blow past your team's defense.

If you’re desperate to get the ball out of the opposing team's hands, you can try wraparound strips and multi-player tackles.

Celebrating is a crucial bonus part of the game, and there are many ways to do so, but one of the most popular has been the Griddy, which exploded onto the NFL scene thanks to Justin Jefferson. Unfortunately, the dance can only be performed by a few players: Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase, or D.J. Chark. These three have the Griddy as their signature touchdown celebration, so it’s quite easy to do.

Once you’ve scored, flick the right joystick to the signature slot of the celebration wheel when it appears, and watch as your chosen player performs the Griddy. 

While there are only three players who can actually perform the Griddy, there are a few who will bust it out at random. For example, if you run out of bounds with Patrick Mahomes in a key fourth-quarter, he might break into the dance (it’s rare, so keep your eyes peeled for it).
