Is anyone else having trouble completing this challenge? I feel that I’ve gotten multiple hit stick tackles and it’s not registering.
I finally got it after several tries. I’d recommend to allow the QB to complete a pass and then hit stick the player. I was able to do that and get two stars. It took a while but I got lucky. It really is buggy though
Best way I've been able to complete is by flicking right stick down.
This worked for me. Double mug on first down, then used prevent and pushed every one back.
EA needs to fix the hit stick, extremely frustrating that I am unable to complete this with over 50 attempts. Tackling is set to aggressive.
Thanks, this helped! I was trying to flick it instead of hold it up. I tried like 30 times, and then after reading this I got it my second attempt.
I am having the same issue. I have done the hitstick tackle, it popped up saying hitstick as I tackled, and does not register. At first I thought the first couple times it was because there was another tackler at the same time. But I have had 7 solo ones and it does not register. And I have done it while flicking up.
This challenge is like the power glove: It’s so bad.
What finally worked for me was audibling my entire defensive line to zone clouds so there is no chance of a defender sacking the QB (even with 1 guy rushing, he’d still get through sometimes) and I was just super lucky enough to get (after my first hit stick defender didn’t register) a second defender coming in that got the receiver after a throw short of the sticks that forced a fumble.
the fact that a hit stick “sack” doesn’t count is the problem. That’s where things need to get fixed up for this to work better
I’m also having this problem I have done multiple hit stick tackles and this game refuses to give me credit for it in this challenge
Yep same issue here. I'm getting hit stick sacks and its not counting for me.
I think I just figured it out. After looking in the controls it shows hit stick as up, cut stick as down and bull rush as flick. I’m sure a hit stick is meant to be able to be flicked up however I must have done this 20+ times with no luck. First try holding up on the hit stick when tackling and I got both stars
For everyone curious, this worked for me. Got a sack on first down to back them up a bit. Went into prevent, gave cushion to the secondary, they threw short under and was able to complete the hit stick to the WR who caught it.
