How do I move my quarterback?
Just like the previous Madden titles, you have the ability to run with every single quarterback in the game. However, their rating will determine the success of your running exploits.
Once you manage to spot a gap, all you need to do to run is hold R2/RT. To decide on the direction, use the left stick to duck and dodge any defenders attempting to halt your progress.
