Unlike the NFL, which seems like they simply hate any type of post-touchdown jamboree, celebrating and taunting has always been a Madden staple. That continues to be so in the franchise’s latest installment. Things haven’t changed all that much from Madden 18: you’ll still need to input three buttons at the same time in order to showboat down the field. 

To celebrate in Madden 19 on the Xbox One, hold RT + LT + A and you’ll high-step down the field and into the end zone just like Deion Sanders. 

To celebrate in Madden 19 on the PlayStation 4 (PS4), hold L2 + R2 + X. 

To celebrate in Madden 19 on the PC, hold L-Shift + K + H. But really, you should just be using an Xbox One controller instead.  

However, there are some new, signature celebrations that you can do with your team and other players on the field once you score a touchdown. Here’s how to pull them off per EricRayweather: 

Push right-stick up: Team celebration Push right-stick right: Spike the ball Push right-stick left: Dance Push right-stick down: player-specific celebration Push right-stick in (button press): swag celebration

Like Madden 18, you can celebrate anywhere on the field. However, it’s best to celebrate when you know you’re about to score: showboating in the open field is likely to get you tackled. Taking a huge hit can dislodge the ball, turning a taunt into bitter disappointment. 

You don’t want to be the guy that fumbled the ball just outside the goal line. It’s nice to taunt, just do it at the right time. 

If you want to celebrate but also make sure you get into the end zone, you can also hold LT + X on the Xbox One and L2 + Square on the PS4 to perform a dive toward the pylon. Just make sure you’re close enough to the goal line to cross the plane or your opponent will have another chance to stop you short. 


Showboating is part of the game. But you don’t want to give your opponent reason to have his own celebration. Armed with these tips, you’ll both dominate the field and taunt when it matters most.
