Madden 23: How To Celebrate & Showboat (Griddy’s Dance)

EA Sports has released Madden 23 on multiple platforms. The new American football video game is another great addition to the long-running Madden NFL series. Although the game introduces new changes from Madden 22, your goal to win games should remain the same. While game wins and touchdowns are a great feeling in and of themselves, showing off is another show off when you win. Especially if you are playing against a friend. In this guide, we’ll show you how to celebrate and show off in Madden 23, including how to hit Griddy.

As we mentioned earlier, Madden 23 brought some fresh changes, including a celebration and a show boat. Since there are different holidays, it may take some time to correct them if you are a beginner. Veteran NFL players have nothing to worry about. Here’s how to celebrate in Madden 23:

  • Holiday Dive – For this you need to be only a few yards from the line.
    • For PS users: Press and hold the square next to the line.
    • For Xbox users: Press and hold the X next to the line.
  • Celebrate big games – this applies after a touchdown or a big interception, mostly a big game. Hit a hint to celebrate, remembering it’s a time move. After that, PS and Xbox users can follow the steps below to choose a move to celebrate winning the NFL.
    • Dance – Move the right analog stick to the right.
    • Spike – Move the right analog stick down.
    • Signature – Move the right analog stick to the left.
    • Swagger – Move the right analog stick up.

Unlike Celebrate, Showboat is more like humiliating your opponent. The player you control will perform certain dance-like moves before reaching the end zone. Here’s how to do it in Madden 23:

  • For PS users: press L2 + R2 + X when approaching a line.
  • For Xbox users: Press LT + RT + A when approaching a line.

However, Showboat is a risky move as there is a chance your opponent will catch you before a touchdown. If you are planning on using the Showboat on your opponent, make sure you are close to the line and the defenders are not getting close.

  • For PS users: Press and hold R2 and move the right analog stick up twice.
  • For Xbox users: Press and hold RT and move the right analog stick up twice.

That’s all for Madden 23’s Celebrate and Showboat feature, including Griddy.
