Always Protect the Ball for Madden NFL 22

Always Protect the Ball

Maintaining possession of the ball is crucial in American football, so it is essential that your ball carrier always protects it to avoid fumbles, which lead to turnovers. If your player is the quarterback scrambling downfield, you should slide to end the play before taking a big hit from a defender. To slide at the end of a run, you have to press the A button on Xbox or X button on your PlayStation controller. If your player is a running back who wants to get as much yardage as possible, you can make him cover the ball by holding the RB button on Xbox or R1 button on your PlayStation controller.
