Re: Players auto-juke after reception or handoff

@DrSatan69420 Do you use a controller when you play the game? I'm wondering if the right stick on it needs to be recalibrated. Might be due to a drift.

    I do use a controller, but I've never had the issue until the last update. A few other qwerks started at the same time, but this is the only one effecting game play. I'll try reinstalling the controller drivers though.

    @DrSatan69420 If it isn't a wireless controller trying plugging it back in too. Do you have any other devices plugged into the PC that you've recently inserted? Some other hardware can result in strange behavior. I've seen the Oculus and HIVE headsets cause compatibility issues with Madden in the past.

    I reinstalled the drivers, and the issue remains. It's a wired Logitech controller. Nothing new is installed or plugged in. The auto juke only happens after a reception and sometimes a hand off (mostly shotgun formation).  It doesn't happen any other times. With previous versions of Madden there were some glitches where a player would juke or spin randomly while running down the field. This is not that. It's not a game breaker, but it is annoying when you have a defender smoked on a slant only to be tackled because the receiver does a juke after catching the ball instead of breaking away down the field.  This issue started immediately after the last update, so I'm pretty sure it has something to do with that. I say immediately because I had to install the update before I could launch the game.

    @DrSatan69420 

    It could be a controller compatibility issue as the Microsoft Xbox controller is the only officially supported controller for Madden NFL 21.

    Try right-clicking on the game in Origin and select repair. If that doesn't fix it, perhaps try a re-install to see if fresh files will clear it up?

    @DrSatan69420 did you already try to reconfigure your controller (not in-game but in the Windows device manager)? there should be an option to recalibrate and reassign keys (if I remember correctly).

    hope that helps. good luck!
