Tackle battles are a new feature in this year’s game. You can learn about them in the skills trainer. Essentially, tackle battles are single button mini-game prompts that appear over the tackler and runner’s head at the moment of impact, whoever presses the button first or the fastest wins. On offense you break the tackle; on defense you punish the ball carrier. Unfortunately, there is no explanation for what triggers tackle battles vs. regular tackles. The good news is they occur multiple times every game.

This trophy proved difficult to unlock vs. the CPU. I developed a strategy to easily obtain it using 2 controllers or playing online vs. a friend. First download and load my rosters. Now play a mirror game with the 49ers vs. the 49ers. I assumed having players with similar strength ratings would improve the chances of tackle battles triggering; and I was correct.

For the offense choose a shotgun formation and pick a Slants play. For the defense choose a field goal block like Load Block Left or Right. On offense get ready to throw a quick slant to an outside receiver. On defense control the middle linebacker (Bowman), before the snap back up with Bowman. Now snap the ball and throw a quick slant to an outside receiver. Now you will have a one on one tackle opportunity with Bowman and the receiver. It seemed like 1 in 3 or 4 tackle attempts would end up in a tackle battle. Use a no huddle offense to keep it going. Now simply win with the defensive player 3 times to unlock this trophy. This process goes fairly fast.
