Ball hawk and heat seeker

[LocDawg5050]

Can someone explain what these two features do? I make tackles and user pick with no problem.

Ball hawk: hold Y to get into position for deflect/pass

Heat speaker: hold A to make a bee line to the ball carrier.

I think you activate heat seeker by holding the tackle button. Good luck playing without it, it's pretty tough

I am resurrecting this thread because for some reason I can reply but not create a new thread.

PS3. Franchise/offline/coach-mode/Rams(Fisher)

I would love some info on Heat-seeker function. Some guidance on what exactly it's used for, or how it helps, when to use it, and how do I know it's working as intended???

Typically I tackle by moving towards ball carrier, and colliding, or tapping Square to take the feet out. I use the hit stick frequently if I'm moving directly towards or from the side of the ball-carrier.

Any helpful hints, and tips would be appreciated. I figured out ballhawk last year, but proper use of this one is evading me.

Thanks.

Uh I think your wrong if you are talking about 360 controls

Y = Ball Hawk...which will allow your defensive player to go for the interception if they are in position...The swat is one of the bumpers, RB or LB, can't remember which one.

X = Heat Seeker ...You can use this feature by pressing and holding down X when you are close enough to the player to make a tackle

"A" on the 360 is for CPU (Defensive) Assist which can assist in pursuit and tackling and even coverage. Hold "A" and the CPU will literally control your player based on the player's abilities and ratings (pursuit, tackling, etc

X = Dive tackle then?

And defensive assist has nothing to do with heat seeker. You hold in X on 360, square on ps3 to activate heat seeker.
