Strip the Ball
To strip the ball from a ball carrier when you are grappling him, press the L1 button while repeatedly tapping the O button.
Defensive Power Move
Press the L1 button + the Square button to punish the ball carrier and force a turnover. The harder you hit him, the more likely he'll lose the ball. If you miss him, you'll be completely out of the play.
Audibles
Keep your opponent guessing by changing the play at the line of scrimmage. To call an audible, press the L1 button at the line before the ball is snapped. Press the D-button in the direction corresponding to the new offensive play or defensive scheme you want to choose.
On offense, go into Max Protect by pressing the L1 button to call an audible, and then press the R1 button. Max Protect keeps at least one running back in the backfield to block and then release him into a pattern on a pass play. This is useful in stopping blitzes.
On defense, press the L1 button to call an audible, and then press the R1 button to predict what type of play the offense is going to run. You boost your defensive attributes for the play by correctly predicting what the offense will do. However, if you guess incorrectly, your defensive attributes decrease for the play.
Setting Up the Game
Grab your gear and make sure you bring your A game. Anything less won't cut it.

*Note: The Game Settings screen of the Options menu is the place to turn Vibration ON/OFF.*
