Stripping The Ball

I'm curious whats the best way to strip the football. Everytime I try to do it, I just end up missing the tackle. Any advice?

do it when your on a top notch guy like Ray Lewis, Shawne Merriman, Brian Urlacher, etc. and don't do it against guys like LT, Michael TUrner or any of those guys that have high carrying rating.

Is there a specific time that i should be doing it? Should I run into them and then strip or should I go for the strip right away?

run into the guy like ur making a tackle. as soon as the tackle animation starts start jamming the strip button and you should get a strip animation. it looks like he trying to pull the ball out and the ballcarrier kinda rolls and ends up on his back. if u get this animation and ur on a top notch player like CJ mentioned, the ball comes out 1/2 maybe 1/3 of the time.

id say dont even try to strip AP.. the best way to jar the ball loose from him is knockin that ass.. for the ppl that like to use highlight stick he will bust almost every tackle if u try to strip him.. thats just what ive noticed when using him.. i have only fumbled when gettin popped.. its like that wit most speed backs.. the best way (that ive noticed) to get the ball away from bigger backs is gettin the tackle animation started, then strippin em..

so hit stick for speed backs (besides ppl like westie and dwill) and tackle animation then strip for bigger backs is what i noticed..

if u hold u can see the player pulling his arm back for more power in sripping the ball try it in practice with no defence you'll see what im talking about

but know this when u do that the player u are controlling will start to move alot slower even if your pressing the turbo button ( )
