Maximum Passing.

[Bbucsfan]

I've never used it before so I have a few questions, ...

If I am understanding correctly, you use the Left analog stick to lead the reciever? If that is correct, is there suppose to be a target or something indicating how far you are leading him (ie fever RnL)?

Also, can you lead him in any direction...ie, throw to the left or right or even behind the WR?

And finally, is "setting your feet" still important for your QB with Max Pass? How can you set your feet if you have to use the same analog stick for maximum passing?

Thanks to anybody that helps.....I was always curious about this mode, but I never tried it.

Is Maximum passing better than the standard in your opinion?

Max passing was the standard to me, but judging from the tutorials, it's not nearly as important as it has been in recent years. The tutorial says to move the stick AFTER you hit the receiver button, so I guess that's to leave the QB's feet set. However, no matter how far I mash the stick over, it seems to have little effect on the throw.

However, if I leave my feet set, the ball gets where I want it to go, so I've been rarely touching Max Passing lately. With a good read and good timing, you don't need to improvise as much.

So for me, I could go either way. There might be 1 or 2 plays a game that I wish I understood max passing more this season, but for the other 58, I could care less. A good read will take you a lot further down the field than a ball thrown 3 feet further one direction or another.
