Barkley’s hurdle came against the Jacksonville Jaguars a 28-23 Eagles win. As soon as EA Sports Game Developer Spade saw the move, he knew he wanted in the game.
“It’s rare, this day and age, to see something that’s never been done before. That’s when we knew we wanted it in-game,” Spade said in an EA Sports release.
According to EA Sports release notes, not just any player can hurdle like Barkley.
“To trigger the spin hurdle, the ball-carrier must be Saquon Barkley, the defender must be incoming from a 45-degree angle in front of the ball carrier, the defender must be within a close proximity to the ball carrier, and the user must press the hurdle button with the right timing,” the release notes said.
