Passing and ball-carrier controls
Tips
The game gives you two ways to throw: icon passing, where you select a receiver by pressing the matching button, and full manual aiming. Lob throws and bullet throws are both available. Ball carriers have a full set of moves to break tackles.
- Use icon passing when you want to get the ball out quickly to a specific target.
- Switch to manual aiming when you need to place the ball precisely away from a defender.
- Throw a lob pass to a receiver running a deep route so the ball arcs over coverage.
- Throw a bullet pass in short, tight windows where speed matters more than arc.
- Juke or spin to make a defender miss in open space.
- Use a truck, stiff arm, or hurdle when a tackler is closing in and you need extra yards.
Pre-snap preparation
Check
Before the ball is snapped, you have several tools to put your offense or defense in a better position. Be careful about illegal motion penalties, which are called if players move incorrectly before the snap.
- Call an audible to change the play at the line when you spot a mismatch or a blitz.
- Set a hot route to send a specific receiver on a different path based on what the defense is showing.
- Flip the play to run it to the other side of the field.
- Use pre-snap motion to move a player before the snap and read how the defense reacts.
- Watch for false start and illegal motion penalties if you move a lineman or receiver too early.
