Madden 26 better have the “reverse hurdle” special move

As a seasoned football enthusiast with over four decades under my belt, I can confidently say that I’ve never witnessed such a breathtaking display of athleticism and creativity as Saquon Barkley’s reverse hurdle. It’s like watching a highlights reel compiled by the gods themselves!


As a gamer, I’ve often found myself encountering situations in video games that seem incredibly implausible in real life. For instance, imagine an NFL player scoring a touchdown every week, against every opponent, using the same playbook. That’s something Derrick Henry has managed to pull off, which just goes to show how unpredictable reality can be sometimes. Now, let me share an example from yesterday that was as unrealistic as it gets in my gaming world: [insert personal story or game event].

For over four decades, I’ve been a devoted football fan, yet I’ve never witnessed such an extraordinary play. The blend of athletic prowess to pull it off and creativity to conceive the idea in the first place is unprecedented. Madden 26 simply must incorporate this marvel next season.

The fundamental aspects of football tend to remain consistent from one year to the next, making it challenging to introduce fresh elements. Many spins, jukes, and indeed hurdle maneuvers are familiar moves, merely combined in a novel order. To its advantage, Madden 25 provides various methods for executing such unique combinations with special moves.

Designers for Madden are excitedly looking forward to integrating groundbreaking animations that everyone is familiar with in Madden 25. Last year, Madden 24 showcased Patrick Mahomes’ basketball-style no look passes and “Superman” throws. One year, the game incorporated the prayer gesture, popularly referred to as “Tebowing,” after the former Florida Gator gained widespread attention in NFL conversations.

Philadelphia Eagles’ standout player Saquon Barkley has bestowed a gift upon the Madden team: if his signature move, the reverse hurdle, is included in Madden 26, it would be a single special trick I master. The reverse hurdle, being an ingenious blend of creativity and mischief, seems tailor-made for Eagles enthusiasts and their supporters.
