Has anyone seen Stiff Arm activate, ever? I've had it from the start on my RB, watch most of his plays, and have never seen it. Today I got Juke with the next AP and saw it fire in the next game played. What gives? Are side tackles not in the game or something?

My best guess here would be that you may not have carrying awareness at a high enough level, which is what powers stiff arm. Its probably much easier for juke to fire since it's powered by elusive running, which receives a bonus from the elusive carrying style. If you tell me that your carrying awareness is somewhat high, and that you use a power running style, THEN I'd start to worry.

I have seen it fire. Thought it would be good on my returner. Not so much. His Carry Awareness is 35.

I would think it is less likely to fire on returns since most of the defenders would be coming from straight on. Plus, it would be a rare occurrence that only one defender is within tackle range AND coming from the side. Lots of players around the ball on returns.

I'm not 100% sure that this is how it works, but you know how on the SA, it says "Activation Chance: Up to XX%"
I'm assuming the XX is a scale from 0 to XX based on whatever the "Powered By" attribute is. So, if you want your level 1 stiff arm to fire off, I'm assuming that since the activation chance is "Up to" 30%, then if you had 100 carrying awareness, the activation chance would be 30%.
I'm assuming the XX is a scale from 0 to XX based on whatever the "Powered By" attribute is. So, if you want your level 1 stiff arm to fire off, I'm assuming that since the activation chance is "Up to" 30%, then if you had 100 carrying awareness, the activation chance would be 30%.

I have had it fire a couple times but it seems useless so far as it did no good in the play.

I see where you're coming from but my interpretation is a little different and by all means could be entirely wrong. I feel that there is always a 0%- 30% chance for it to fire (in this case, every time you are the ball carrier and have only one tackler coming and only from the side) and that yes a higher carry awareness will help it fire more often possibly by raising the minimum %, but that the carry awareness actually helps the EFFECTIVENESS of the stiff arm.
Edit- the last part of the carrying awareness description says "helps player determine when to use special abilities". My instinct tells me that its not necessarily saying HOW OFTEN although its probably a small factor, but HOW EFFECTIVE. A ball carrier with good carry awareness will know to throw the stiff arm at the right time and right situation and not just stick his arm out hoping a defender runs into it. Being about halfway through the first season, I can't imagine special abilities being super effective in any case, not just stiff arm.

I get a stiff arm from all the fapping I do, when I randomly assign points!!! So yes it happens a lot.

I think that was "stiff arms" push opponent way...forget about the ball - you don't need the ball..
