Break tackle tips?

Anyone have any? I'm trying to add some stuff to my running game

power back- push right stick up or if tackled use stiff arm ( increases chance for fumbles)

elusive back- push right stick left or right or if tackled use spin move (same as above)

with both types when ur tackled u can lead the right stick away from the defender

not guarenting 1000% ur gonna break everytackle like that but just a tip.

ok thank you, do you have any idea if pushing both sticks up helps truck because i've been doing that with Turner and it's been helping me break more? I also try and lean into the defender and hit turbo and truck when i truck as well too.

yah that works too. I always break tackles with brandon jacobs. sometimes 3 tackles. It why I prefer power backs, they break tackles and always fall forward unlike the elusive backs.

How do you truck? I've been trying to figure that out since the game came out! Lol. I can't tell you how many times I get my power back out in space and I only have 1 man to beat (usually a CB) and he tackles me with no help. Smh...

its madden 11, if u cant break tackles... something is seriously wrong...

I don't have a problem junkin' people out with speed backs or stiff arming. I just can't ever get the truck animation.

wasnt directed at you.. but its w/e


its just about timing.. if u truck n they hitstick low, u should go down, but if they just run into u, and u truck then u should in fact truck em..

but madden 11 is so bad, that bad RBs break off hit sticks from all pro LBs

To get the truck animation do you just lean your shoulder in the direction they are coming at you, and then you just have to time it right? Or is it still just hold up on the right-stick like last year?

Yeah Madden 11 is bad about that. Best one I've seen is Ngata getting stiff armed in the backfield by Felix Jones.

oh thats nothing try stiff arming try breaking ray lewis tackle then spining avoiding gooden then stiff arming ed reed than takin it to the house when u meet a F washington and pushing him off for 6 it was so sick yo d@mn it was felix jones to and one time i played raiders and marion barber broke everyones tackles liek no joke no strip animation jus plain out run over and broke and it seems like felix jones loves stiff arming raiders idk what it is haha but i average atleast 3 stiff arms for 15 + yards vs raiders

here's a tip, call a play on offense...that's it.. you'll get a crazy amount of broken tackles.....
As if anybody needs tips to break tackles lol. I mean there are so many broken tackles per game as it it it's crazy. That's one of my major complaints right now with madden 11, Waaayyy too many broken tackles.

Naw sometimes you have those segments through the game where you dont break anything. I never hit turbo until i see day light. Mega one more thing. Do you find stiff arm, or left stick toward the defender or right stickstick toward the defend. Which is the most effective way to you

Idk, never meant to get technical lol, but I just be hitting stiff arm during the process of getting tackled.. If im not getting tackled then Im truckin folks.

To truck - Right stick straight up

Probably because everyone always goes for the big hit with the right-stick or strip, instead of just wrapping up.

There is really no such thing as trucking in this years version of Madden compared to last year..

Here's my take on it:

Lean into the defender, turbo, cover the ball (RB) before contact, push up on the right stick on contact.

That's how I get the truck animation with power backs. Hope that helps guys

Well d@mn! Lol.

i pretty much just run with the left stick, if the cpu breaks a tackle so be it.. not worth the risk of a fumble
