How to unlock the Stick Skills achievement in Madden NFL 25 - Definitive Guide

You need a Gold medal in Acceleration Burst, Precision Modifier, The Option, Triple Option and Oklahoma Offense drills to acquire this trophy. Start off by changing the difficulty to Rookie and adjusting the sliders so all offense-related are set to 100 for Human and 0 for CPU. I chose the Minnesota Vikings for this, with Adrian Peterson being the best-rated RB in the game, and their QB is more than sufficient for the Option drills. Pick a low-rated team to play against (Browns, Bills, Jaguars, etc). To get Gold on these you can only fail one play per drill.

Acceleration Burst is relatively simple, just press R2 once you get the ball and sprint towards the end zone. The CPU is too slow most of the time to get you, just don't worry about trying to juke or spin, keep it to the outside whenever you can and you should have little trouble with this drill.

Precision Modifier can be somewhat tricky, you MUST read the directions before each play since they will change each time (except for the last two which I'll explain later), if you do not perform the move required you will auto fail even if you score a TD. Acceleration Burst is simple, just run at normal speed towards the defender and once you're within a few steps of him, press R2 and run diagonally in either direction towards the end zone. Stiff Arm can be problematic, if you try to do it with the defender at your side you will usually go out of bounds before you break free. It's best to run straight at him and do it, though sometimes you'll still get tackled. I had the most trouble with Spin, I couldn't seem to get the timing or direction down and would rarely beat the defender, but being that I was using Peterson and not a speed RB that may explain the issue also. Juke is pretty simple, just don't get too close to the defender and you should fake him out without a problem.

The final two plays in this category are always the same. First you have to Hurdle over a defender, incredibly simple. The defender will be on the ground, so all you need to do is hold L2 and hit ? to jump over him. The final drill is diving over a defender, this does not always work as it should. When you're approaching the defender, hold L2 and press Triangle to dive over them, however sometimes you'll end up just diving under or to the side. As long as you make it in the end zone before they touch you, it'll still count.

The Option drill can be difficult until you predict how the defense will react. They split up the drill into two scenarios: handoffs and pitches. Pitches are the easier of the two, just watch the highlighted defender and see if he moves towards you (QB) or the RB; if he moves towards you, press L1 to pitch the ball to the RB, if not, just keep it and run. It doesn't matter if you score a TD or not, just predicting the correct movement is all that counts. Handoffs can be tricky, but just watch the defender's movement, if he stutter steps off the hike, give it to the RB; if he rushes off the hike, keep the ball and run. If you have trouble reacting quickly enough, you can pause the game right after the hike, the short window between hiking and pausing should show you what the defender was doing.

Triple Option is basically a combination of both the handoffs and pitches from the previous drill, though the same reactions apply. Watch the orange-highlighted defender first, if they stutter step, hand it off; if not, keep it. If you keep the ball, then you switch to focusing on the blue-highlighted defender, if he moves towards you, pitch it to the RB, otherwise keep it. Same pass conditions apply as well, as long as you predict the reactions correctly, you'll pass each play.

The final drill is Oklahoma Offense and is very simple. All you need to do is score a TD, the majority of the time, I would just use the Acceleration Burst and run diagonally towards the end zone, especially after doing Precision Modifier, you should have no trouble scoring.

Fantastic tip about pausing the game for the "The Option" and "Triple Option". My trouble wasn't READING the defense, it was reacting. This evened the playing field.

Once you've earned a gold medal in all of the Rushing drills, this trophy will unlock. A rushing drill that may take a few tries is the Precision Modifier Drill but you can edit you player to be 99 OVR and lower the defensive players skills to 0. Also you can adjust the sliders in your favor to 100s to and CPU to 0s to help you.

Acceleration Burst Drill - 9/10 gold
Precision Modifier Drill - 11/12 gold
The Option Drill - 9/10 gold
Triple Option Drill - 9/10 gold
Oklahoma Offense Drill - 9/10 gold

Note from DrofThuganomics1:

In addition one tip I will add for the Option is during the drill, pause the game then go to game settings and set the game speed to Super slow. This helps in reading the defense.

There are four drills that need to be gold for this achievement:
Acceleration Burst (9/10 for gold)
Precision Modifier (11/12 for gold)
The Option and Triple Option (9/10 for both)
Oklahoma Offense (9/10 for gold)

It is important to read the direction for some skills because it specifies to use certain controls to complete a stick move.

Here is a video guide:

Here are some tips because it isn't possible to create a step-by-step walkthrough:

1. Stay calm. I found myself having rage fits. Staying calm would be... beneficial.

2. Practice makes perfect. Play a few games to get the hang of controls and then go into the trainer. Sometimes, doing the drill over several times a day will help; going back to it the next day will help even more.

3. Good luck! Pay attention to the in-game prompts, and you should be fine.
