Although staying quick on your feet is the norm when looking to score with a running back in Madden NFL 26, being capable of using a well-timed truck to pave a path forward is a trait only the elite possess.
But how exactly can you do that? To help you raise the level of your game and break past the opposition when it matters the most, here’s how to truck in Madden NFL 26.
How To Truck In Madden 26
While running forward with the ball in Madden 26, you can perform a truck by flicking the right analog stick forward. Keep in mind that the trucking animation won’t be long and will cause your player to lose acceleration, so only do it when close to the opposition. If using a less physical runner or faced with big defenders, we then recommend protecting the ball instead of powering through. To do that, hold R1/RB while moving.
How To Perform All Ball Carrier Moves In Madden NFL 26
As trucking can only take you so far when outside of the goal line, knowing by heart how to perform all of the game’s remaining ball carrier (or running) moves can be the missing piece in unlocking your inner Saquon Barkley and becoming a three-dimensional threat in Madden 26. You can check out how to perform all of them below, from the Hurdle to the new Double Juke:
- Hurdle: Press Triangle/Y
- Spin/Wide Spin: Press O/B (must not be running). While pressing only the button input sees you perform the usual variation, doing so while running will see your player go for a wider, but riskier, spin.
- Juke/Wide Juke: Stop running (let go of R2/RT) and flick your right analog stick toward any direction. Like with the spin, performing the move while running will see you go for a wider variant
- Double Juke: Flick the right analog stick left to right (or right to left) in quick succession.
- Stiff Arm: Press X/A
- Reach for It (Reach for Yards): Hold the right analog stick up following a tackle while close to the goal or first down line
- Dive: Hold Square/X at any time while carrying the ball.
- Slide (QB-exclusive): Tap Square/X
- QB Juke (or QB Skill Moves): Hold R2/RT and flick the right analog stick (must be posted behind your defensive line).
