In Madden 23, the strip is a defensive move that snatches the ball away from the player holding it, forcing what is known as a fumble.
This forced fumble is one of the best actions a defender can take, turning the ball live and enabling any athlete on the field to grab it to their advantage. If the opposing team can successfully make the grab, it is known as a strip.
This guide will cover how players can strip the ball in Madden 23.
Note: Minor gameplay spoilers will follow. Viewer discretion is advised.
Stripping the ball is an easy maneuver in Madden 23
Since Madden 23 aims to bring the authentic football experience to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, it naturally comes with all the moves you would expect from a true-to-life football match.
Stripping the ball is a major move in the game, allowing players to control the flow of a match. The technique can easily be executed across all three platforms with the following button presses:
- PlayStation 5: R1 button on the controller.
- Xbox Series X/S: RB button on the controller.
- PC: The space bar key.
Additional tips to keep in mind while stripping the ball in Madden 23
This move must be timed correctly for maximum efficacy, and gamers must execute it just prior to completing the tackle. Additionally, they must be close to the ball carrier, lest they miss the chance. The defender will need a moment to prepare while they tackle the target, so keep this time window in mind.
Additionally, certain players are harder to force fumbles from. For example, knocking away the ball from a quarterback’s grip is far easier to execute as compared to running back.
Gamers can always keep an eye out on the carrying ratings of the opposing team’s members to be well-prepared and gauge how difficult it would be to strip the ball from them.
