Ball Carrier Moves Do Not Work
The Ball Carrier Moves in Madden 21 does not work properly at all. The Juke move has the animation of a juke move but it doesn't fake no one out. Especially in the open field. Unless the Ball Carrier has an angle on the defender, there is no way that the ball carrier can get extra yards. Again it seems the the Ball Carrier moves are nerfed down to help the defense instead of the game being fix. I mean seriously EA, what the hell is wrong you guys? Can't you ever just fix the game instead of nerfing the problem? Every year when there is an issue with gameplay instead of fixing the issue, you nerf it down and say "The issue has been fixed" when instead all you've done is masked the issue and nerfed it down. Case in point on Hot Routes, back on the last couple of Madden's on the PS2 version the user had an option to Hot Route a slant in any direction. The Slants to the outside was a hard route to stop at the time so instead of making an option for the defense to stop it, you put the Zag Route as the Hot Rout to the outside instead of having the Slant Route to the outside and having a defensive play to stop it. The game is in a new era now and about to be in a newer era coming this fall. There should be no excuses for these type of issues to continue to happen in this game. PERIOD!!! EA it is time to step your game up!!! No More Excuses!!!!!

Would you be able to post a recorded clip of you performing the juke move so we can get an idea of what you're describing and how you ideally want it to function? Thanks.
@EA_Blueberry Check his new post.
Also, I pretty much agree with and echo what he said. You can NEVER make the CPU miss( at least not on All-Pro and All-Madden, I haven't played on anything else.). The Spin, Juke, Hurdle, Jurdle, or the " All NEW Skill-Stick!!!" don't work at all. The online time the CPU misses a tackle is if you truck or break contact. Even when I turned the tackle slider to 25 in my franchise it was like that. Just trucks and broken tackles. And you defiantly can't juke a Cpu hit stick, it's like a homing missile. The CPU never misses a hit stick which is weird because I thought hit sticks were supposed to be more like a cannonball. Hard to hit but does massive damage.
The running game has been nerfed as Cpu Ballcarriers do not Juke as they should, they do not footplant as they should, because they’re movements are designed for Competitive Gaming, not a real depiction of the NFL.
Most Competitive players don’t care that now running backs swivel there whole body unnaturally left and right, without dipping their shoulder or footplanting. A user wants to be able to quickly “avoid” a tackler or “tackle a Ballcarrier” as easily and quickly as they can. Realism is not a factor to the hard core gamer....and EA will continue to cater to this group because of money - micro transactions ect.
Just look at Madden 25 and the fantastic player movement both running backs and tacklers have and that game by 21 standards is dated.
I’m personally waiting for 2k and their football game as “New Gen” or not EA will continue with the same hyped up freshly painted - eye candy as they always have. Gamers will be excited for New Mouthpieces some new cleats ect, while Franchise and the core of Gameplay (that once was EA’s trademark) will lack yet another year.
