How To Do the Saquon Barkley Spin Hurdle in Madden 25

How To Do Madden 25’s Saquon Barkley Spin Hurdle

The most important thing to know about the spin hurdle in Madden 25 is that only Saquon Barkley can do it. There’s no point in picking another team and trying to pull it off. In fact, even if you pick the Eagles and sub in Kenneth Gainwell, it won’t work.

Once you’ve come to terms with that and get the image of Derrick Henry leaping over a man half his size, it’s time to get to work because the move is no small feat. Here are all the steps to follow to complete the spin hurdle in Madden 25:

• The process starts by handing or throwing the ball to Saquon and waiting for the defense to come after him.
• Once a defender gets in close proximity, you must pay attention to their pursuit angle, as only players attempting to tackle Saquon from a 45-degree angle can be hurdled over.
• At the moment the stars align, all you have to do is hit the hurdle button (triangle on PlayStation and Y on Xbox) to complete the spin hurdle.

Thankfully, there don’t appear to be any restrictions when it comes to Madden 25’s spin huddle. Players are free to use it in offline and online modes, including Ultimate Team.

As of writing, the best card Saquon has is a 90 overall, which is nothing to scoff at but not the best in the game. With the year he’s having, however, he’s sure to get an upgrade that will make pulling off the spin hurdle a walk in the park.
