seeking passings tips

[dreadheadnympho]

in my franchise i have a 93 overall young strong arm qb with 94 throw power. i have 5 wr 85-98 d hopkins, micheal thomas, and 3 realy fast deep threat 95 speed or higher. my problem is trying to find out how to use them the best. i can get the 2 elite guys to catch open passes but im failing to get them to catch 1v1 vs low level cbs on all madden any tips on how to win a jump ball? and with my burners when i throw the ball to them deep after there pass there db they always get caught up to i can never hit them in stride any advice on throwing the deep ball? i have guy in my league with hill and another fast guy an when he throws his wr run to the ball with the dbs trailing and its usually a touch down while my guys have to try to catch a jump ball from a much slower db he refuses to share how he dose it so im asking for some help with the passing. i already run very well i lead our league by alot mainly because i run 95% a game due to not being able to use my wr

First thing, you on all Madden. The AI is set up to make things hard so unless you run cheese plays with animation that always creates space then it is what it is. Second, slants and ins and outs can work for you cause your strong arm can make the throws.

You’re probably throwing the deep ball too late. Don’t wait until the WR has a step, as soon as you see that there is no safety help and the WR has position lob it deep.

Your WR will gain separation while the ball is enroute.

When I go deep I usually make the decision by the 3rd step of my dropback.

I don't know what to tell you. I've given up years ago on throwing that deep sideline pass... every time I do, it because a jump ball situation. The deepest pass that I have semi regular success with is the ACE 2 TE formation post play.

I have a 60/40 success rate with that play. But as far as hitting that receiver streaking down the sideline or streaking down the hashmarks... nah... it doesn't happen.

I'll give it a shot to see what happens. Logically it makes sense but this game does not always apply logic.

No problem man. The timing varies based on the arm strength of your QB. The weaker his arm, sooner you should throw it. I think as a rough guide the ball should be out when the WR is 10-15 yards from the LOS.

Two other tips — Use the matchup stick if it’s not head to head. Release is just as important as speed here. If the corner is pressing and the WR has an edge in his RLS, eye the deep ball.
Also look at the corners technique. If he is playing inside the sideline streak will be available.

Lot of times all I do is read the near safety after the snap. Press coverage+inside technique+no help is automatic deep shot if the matchup is favorable. With inside technique anything better than -5 release earns a look at the deep ball.

It's All-Madden. I had a Saints franchise going for a while on All-Pro and Michael Thomas was unreal in traffic and on jump balls. If anything I felt he was too overpowered and made too many absurd grabs in traffic.
