To strip the football in Madden 24, press either RB for Xbox when in defensive pursuit of a ball carrier, or R1 for PlayStation.

The strip ball mechanic can be a bit of a fickle one to master, since there are a lot of moving parts associated with it. Player ratings and X-Factors can factor into the success rate of a strip attempt, plus the proximity towards the ball carrier.

Additionally, it’s important to note that strip attempts can fail and lead to a ball carrier blowing by the defender.

However, it is a tool that can be used in the right situation to jar the ball loose. Just make sure to be close to the ball carrier when attempting it. Also, wraparound strips behind the ball and attempts in multi-player tackles can also work.
