Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Madden 24, trying to get the hang of this whole taunting thing. It’s not as straightforward as you might think, but I finally figured it out, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer when you pull it off right.
First off, I started by going through the game’s control settings. You know, just poking around to see if there was anything specific about taunting. It is not a complicated thing, so I do not do anything in the settings. Nothing there, so I figured it must be something you do in-game.
Then, I hopped into a few practice matches. Just me and the AI, no pressure. I tried a bunch of different button combinations while running with the ball. I was mashing buttons like crazy, and nothing was working. It felt like I was trying to solve some ancient puzzle.
But, after a bit of trial and error, I finally cracked the code. Turns out, to taunt in Madden 24, all I have to do is to hold down the left and right triggers, and press the X button when approaching a defender.
I practiced it a few more times in practice mode just to make sure I had it down. Then, I jumped into a real game, online, against some random dude. The first time I tried it, I got tackled immediately. Okay, maybe my timing was a bit off. But the second time, bam! I did it. Sailed past the defender and did a little showboat into the end zone. Felt amazing.
So, here’s the breakdown, step-by-step, what I have done:
- Start a match. You can’t just do this in the menus, gotta be in the action.
- Get the ball. Obviously, you need to be on offense and have possession.
- Run towards the defender. Make sure you are getting close to him.
- Hold down LT and RT and press X. This is the magic combo. Hold them all down together.
- Timing is key. You gotta do this when you’re near a defender, or it won’t work.
It took me a while to get used to the timing, but now I’m taunting like a pro. It’s such a fun way to add a little extra flair to your game. Just don’t get too cocky, or you’ll end up getting flattened like I did a couple of times. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right? Keep practicing, and you’ll be taunting your way to victory in no time.
