The official "I need help manually passing" thread

[extremeskins04]

As most of you know in CCM, there isn't a coach mode "auto passing" feature as well as no CPU vs CPU mode. So this forces the people that are horrible at passing (like me) to be forced to learn it.

So I am asking from you veterans, can you put together some kind of guide or give some advice/tips/help/instructions on HOW to be effective at manually passing?

One of the major problems I have is that when I'm trying to look for open receivers my eyes are downfield and not on the blitzing defenders so I get sacked 9 out of 10 times.

Please share your secrets my friends.

Practice mode.....seriously......spend a couple of hours in practice mode focusing on nothing but looking at the pass rush and blitzes.

Once you get the timing of how much time you going to have in the pocket, move on to actually throwing the ball.

Once you get that down, move on to learning when and when not to lead pass.

Over all......many hours of practice in practice mode.

My Advice is Practice man. I am a coach mode fan myself. I started to actually learn how to pass on NCAA 13. You will take your lumps in the beginning but you will get better also try to move your QB back some that might help you with the pass rush

But every blitz is different so some could be 3 seconds while some 10 seconds.

That is why you get to chose what ever defense you might face in PRACTICE mode.

Ok I'll start practicing. So just to make sure I understand, once I get the timing down of how quickly I'll need to get rid of the ball then I can focus on actually making throws, and watching the receivers get separation, etc.

Typically u wanna get rid of the ball within 3-4 seconds so count to 3the in ur head and if no ones open take a glance at the rush and move ur qb accordingly to buy a lil more time. And dont forget to use that r3 to throw it away if ur outside the tackle box n cant escape the rush.

Yep. Long process, might take a few days. But it works. Focus on time in the pocket first, then throwing the ball second, then lead passing 3rd.

You're awesome man. Thanks.

And thanks to the others who have contributed their advice. =)

This is seriously some of the best advice you can get. Being able to recognize the pressure made me a MUCH better passer over the last couple years in this game.

Stop looking downfield first. You should have a pretty good idea of where your receivers will be based on the play you called, so look at the o/d line interaction first. If you see a blitz, you know you have to get it out quick (unless you have extra blockers). If you only see a 3 man rush, you know you're going to have time to look downfield.

Like these guys said, practice is going to make you better. I personally never use practice mode, I just took my lumps in game .

Re: The official "I need help manually passing" thread

So are you guys saying you basically don't use all the fancy new features they built into the game like receivers looking back at you when they're open?

Any of you turn the game speed down to help? or will changing game speed ttoally destroy you when you go back to normal speed? I was thinking of using slow game-speed to learn how to use different run commands like juke, hurdle, stiff arm etc.

Another thing is practice your presnap read. Dnt jus get up to the line an hike the ball. Let the defense settle. For instance if a safety is blitzing he will creep up most of the time if you wait you can see it. Look at your linebackers to. Now sometime they are bluffing but you can tell that right after the snap. If you use the rstick for avoidance after you get out of the sack be ready to unload or run bc you will get crushed if you dnt.

I play on very slow, think it looks and feels nice. Slow is probably the perfect NFL speed, but it just feels more weighted on slow. Specially with the Xbox controller IMO

Glad a google search lead me to this thread. I never thought to focus first on the pass rush then check downfield. Now I wanna try that out but gotta watch the Gamecocks. Lol

Tried this quick in an exhibition game as TEN at HOU. At halftime I was 5/20 with Jake Locker. :-( lol

I only threw the 1 interception that was returned for a score because I pulled everyone away so I could get the ball back. Lol
