Now, if you’re lookin’ to get your hands on that ball in NCAA 25, there’s a few tricks you gotta know, and let me tell ya, it ain’t as easy as just goin’ out there and pressin’ a button. You gotta have some timing, some patience, and a little bit of skill, but don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it so you can strip that ball like a pro. Just like I would if I was out there playin’ myself. Here’s what you need to know:
First thing’s first, what’s a strip? Well, it’s just when you try to take the ball right outta the hands of the player who’s runnin’ with it. It ain’t no easy task, but if you time it right, you can make it happen. Now, you gotta make sure you’re close enough to the player with the ball so you can grab it without missin’. And, you don’t wanna just run up and press the button too early, or you’ll be left with nothin’ but air. Timing’s everything, ya see.
How to do it on Xbox: When you’re on defense and you’re comin’ up on the guy with the ball, you wanna get close—just right before you’re about to smack into him. Then, all you gotta do is press the Right Bumper button (that’s the RB button for you Xbox folks) and it’ll try to strip the ball right outta their hands. Simple, right? Well, it ain’t always that easy, but that’s the general idea. You gotta be quick and know when to do it.
How about on PlayStation? It’s about the same, but instead of hittin’ the RB button like on Xbox, you’re gonna wanna press the R1 button on your PlayStation controller. So, as you’re closin’ in on the ball carrier, just like on Xbox, you press that button and hope you can make the strip. Keep in mind, you don’t want to be too far off when you try this, or you’ll miss and look like a fool.
Now, when you’re out there playin’, it ain’t just about pressin’ buttons. It’s about the timing and the angle you come at the ball carrier. If you’re too far back, you ain’t gonna get it. You gotta be quick, but you gotta be smart, too. Don’t go rushin’ in like a wild bull. You gotta think about it, set yourself up right, and then go for the ball.
- Get close to the ball carrier.
- Time it right—don’t do it too early or too late.
- Use the Right Bumper (RB) on Xbox or R1 on PlayStation.
- Make sure you’ve got the right angle so you don’t miss.
When you strip that ball, what happens next? Well, if you get it right, you could be lookin’ at a big ol’ turnover! The other team’s gonna be real mad, and you’ll be feelin’ like you just won the lottery. But don’t get too cocky, you still gotta hold on to the ball and try to make a play. You don’t wanna give it right back now, do ya?
Now, I know it ain’t all about just one button or one move. You also gotta think about how you’re playin’ defense overall. You gotta be ready for when the other team starts movin’, and you gotta know how to engage and pursue. But that’s a whole other ball game. For now, just remember the strip button trick, and you’ll be ahead of the game.
In the end, practice makes perfect. Ain’t nobody gonna be an expert at this on the first try, but if you stick with it and keep workin’ on your timing, you’ll be gettin’ them strips left and right in no time. Just don’t forget—get close, press the button, and keep your eyes on the ball. Simple as that!
