Similar to the real American Football, sliding is important in Madden 21. Sliding helps players to prevent themselves from getting hurt from the defense team members of opponents. It is a go-to option when you don’t see any of your team members around to pass the ball. Hence, it is really important to learn how to slide in Madden 21. You can perform both non-quarterback and quarterback slide in Madden 21. However, EA has brought new gameplay mechanics, which has changed the slide controls from the previous Madden 20 game. Here’s how to perform both non-quarterback and quarterback slide in Madden 21.
How To QB Slide in Madden 21
To perform a quarterback slide in Madden 21, first, you need to make sure that you are scrambling and have crossed the scrimmage line. If you haven’t crossed the scrimmage line, players will initiate a pass instead of a slide. Once you have crossed the line of scrimmage, click R2 on PS4 and RT on Xbox One to scramble.
Once you have crossed the scrimmage line and are scrambling, you are all set to perform a slide in Madden 21. To initiate the slide, you will have to release the scramble buttons first and then hit Square on PS4 and X on Xbox One.
That’s how you perform quarterback slide in Madden 21. You can also perform a non-quarterback slide in Madden 21.
How to perform non-quarterback slide in Madden 21
Performing a non-quarterback slide in Madden 21 is almost similar to a QB slide except for one thing. First, you will have to cross the line of scrimmage and scramble just like in a QB slide. Second, you will have to keep holding the scramble button for non-QB players. Then hit the Square on PS4 and X on Xbox One twice or thrice, just in case if one of the press didn’t register. This will initiate a slide for non-quarterback players.
Since now you know how to slide in Madden 21, it’s time to get the early access trial of the game. If the trial is not working for you, here’s a fix.
