Quarterbacks, in general, are more prone to fumbles when hit. Many quarterbacks in Madden 24 don’t have the same kind of ball-carrying stats as compared to running backs. Thus, it can be a bit risky to run past the line of scrimmage, as it could lead to a fumble if a defender makes good contact and jars the ball loose.

Luckily, Madden players can make use of a slide and go to the ground, in order to avoid oncoming contact.

A slide does put an end to the play, but it will save possession. For those who want to make use of a run-heavy offense full of QB run plays or be a dual threat QB in Superstar Mode, make sure to master the slide.
