Between the legs shot - Possible?

[JezFranco]

Hey lads,
I managed to pull something off the other day... it looks like it's a deke where the player puts the stick between his legs ("The Malik"?).
To me it feels like I should've made a shot after the "deke" but I was so amazed that I just pulled the stick back to the forehand position.

I saved the move, and before I saved it I studied it from all angles. It is really a real move, not just some glitch... (Even though when he pulls the stick back to forehand, the stick passes through the leg).
Anway, as I mentioned, I studied this move from all angles, and remembered hov I moved the analogue sticks.
But after about 1,5 hours of practice 1-on-0 I could not make it happen again.


So my question, has anyone pulled this off, and actully fired of a shot from between the legs?
Is it even possible... and why the heck can't I recreate the move!?

its a glitch. See how the stick goes through the players legs after.

Re: Between the legs shot - Possible?

Yes... after. Like I said
I didn't manage to pull off a shot so the stick goes back to "neutral" position... through the leg.
But there is without a doubt a unique animation for putting the stick between the legs, which makes it pretty hard to believe it's a glitch.

Found som other videos as well... It's no doubt a fair move.
But it's like EA made the deke but didn't have time to finish it, because it seems glitchy at times as the stick move through the leg sometimes.

Perfect execution!

This one is good.

This one is very quick.

This one shows the first part of the move good, but he doesn't shoot, so again, "glitchy" when he pulls the stick back to neutral and shots backhand.

its not a move, its simply a lack of stick physics. You'll notice the common theme in each of those videos is the skater getting bumped slightly from behind as they are deking with the right stick.

Yeah it looks kinda cool, but its a move in the same way that those crazy rebound goals where the players arm goes behind his back, shoots the puck, and then goes the rest of the way around/through his body and back to the front is a move.

Re: Between the legs shot - Possible?

Yeah now when you mentioned it it's so clear. That little bump just before they execute.

Ha ha, I was thinking to myself when I was trying to recreate it during practice and gave up after a few hours, that it must be something more to it, it can't just be controller movement...

Now I can rest my mind and just go back to just winning games again.

I must admit, it does look cool though. It would be nasty if that was a real move
