has anyone gotten swing passes to work correctly?

[jd369]

I cant execute a swing pass to save my life, the rb always faces the qb, catches the ball then turns to run. by this time the defense has run to him and tackled him. has anyone got the rb to catch the pass on the run (running forward and the qb leads the throw to where he is going to be)?

Nope, its always a stop and go, never in stride. The thing that bugs me the most is when the Damn running back doesn't turn around and the ball hits him in the back

My QB normally can't even hit the RB ons wing passes, smh. I would guess that 80% of them I try, my QB throws it far over the RBs head or it just hits the RB in the side

lol.

Most of the time my RB gets doinked in the back of the head with the ball and never even tries to catch it.

I have been able to run the screens and swing passes with no problems. Sometimes the RB turns and catches it, sometimes he catches it in stride and sometimes the play gets blown up. It's been a realistic experience for me so far.

I always hot route to right stick left or right depending on what side he is on.

But I run HB Wheels like a champ with New Orleans. Sometimes I get a little over confident and throw a pick but Sproles led the league in YAC on my last Franchise. He was almost 300 yards ahead of the rest.

This happens on like ALL slant or in routes I throw in NCAA12.

Throw it on your 3rd step.
Don't throw while backing up.
Put some touch on the pass so it's thrown over his head while he's still running.

Hope this helps,

Sorry, but I don't throw many swing passes... The few I do throw are late check downs after the back has turned and stood for a moment. I can tell where the mechanics of throwing them can be improved simply by the description of what is happening.

However, I do have to defend swing passes and probably have some on film. I'll keep your request in mind as I'm editing video over the next few days.
