Tips On Passing The Ball

[sportyguyfl31]

Feel free to add on or comment, but these are a few of the things that have worked for me.

Looking at how the defense is aligned and make a presnap read has helped me alot.

--very helpful. especially when you get a blitz look from up the middle.

when the blitz comes up the middle, chances are you are going to have throw hot, plain in simple.

If there is no A gap heat coming, dont be afraid to slide or step up in the pocket...this will give you pretty good time to scan and make a couple of reads...follow the "Any Given Sunday" Axiom. "When you see it, do it."


Focus on your reciever and make the throw.

when in doubt..throw the dang ball away. I'm still not used to that, in video game football..but id rather do that, if im confused, then take the sack or force a throw.

Putting together scoring drives feels so good once you get the hang of getting into a offensive flow

A few tips in general I have is to play with the alternate controls (X=Pass Square=Tackle.) I wasn't able to get used to using the stick for everything. Secondly, I advise to turn off running assist. That helped me tremendously. The only other problem I'm having is how in the hell do you pass the ball quickly? When I'm being blitzed I might as well throw down my controller because there is no possible way for me to avoid the sack due to the slow throwing. It literally takes my quarterback three seconds to throw the damn ball.

Throw the ball away is the A button for 360 right?

Its gonna seem like a lot at first but you are gonna have to recognize where the pressure is coming from at the snap. Once its identified, you make the choice depending on what you are seeing. Eiher Roll away from it, step up in the pocket, or flat out just tuck the ball down and RUN, LOL.

How do you scramble with the RT and then throw it? The AI did it against me but I don't know how it works.

Press down to lead the WR. This helps with all the over throws.

what do you mean press down??

Re: Tips On Passing The Ball

Someone posted on the official forums to press up to throw, then immediately downward. The only thing I see this doing is leading the receiver back toward the LOS...

Something I figured out. I was having trouble throwing completions. I decided to fix it once and for all.

Use the TOUCH passing. Try this out.....Pick a play with one of your outside receivers on a go route or comeback. Make sure to finish your drop. Once the drop is completed throw the ball. Flick the stick up to pass, then immediately flick to the left or right to throw to the receiver. Make sure to flick the stick toward the sideline.

This works great and has helped me tremendously.

Sidenote- The computer will catch on if you keep doing this type of passing. Make sure you mix it up.

It helps if your QB keeps overthrowing it. If you have a fly route or comeback route, you don't want to do it though. You want to lead up, left, or right for fly or comeback routes.

Re: Tips On Passing The Ball

Pressing down is so counter-intuitive. Leading should only be for long, left and right passes. I keep overthrowing slot cross because my QB is overthrowing the wide open WR.

Re: Tips On Passing The Ball

When I upgraded my QB in RtBB, I noticed a huge difference in completions. Focus really does matter, a QB with low focus ratings will constantly miss. When I got my high focus QB, my completion rating doubled from around 40% to around 80%.
