Defensive Heat Seeker Assist

Can someone shed some light on this for me? I feel like this function doesn't work as well as it has in previous years. I find often it makes me flow right by the ball carrier and other times I'll be right on the carrier and the tackle won't initiate. I'm sure it's possible I'm doing some wrong. Any tips would be appreciated.

Afaik it’s just like any other user input in that there are times to be on it and times to be off it, just like R2. It’s not just a “AI go do your thing” button, it’s still timing- and precision-based.

That said someone else can probably spell it out better because I’m not entirely sure either haha. I just know sometimes I’ll get into grooves where I’m using it correctly and other times where I’m not, and I’m quite certain the difference is all me.

Re: Defensive Heat Seeker Assist

It supposedly "guides" the player to the ball carrier in terms of tackling and interceptions. I used this in conjunction with the L1 button I believe where the player automatically goes towards the ball carrier in past maddens, but they jacked it up this year. It now automatically plays man coverage straying from the ball carrier.

I find both useless in this year's Madden tbh.

In previous years the heat seeker was strong and basically auto tackle for you. It's different for next gen
