When passing the ball. The worst thing you could do to yourself is the type of player who determines, who's getting the ball before you snap it or lock-in on the receiver the moment you snap the ball because a lot of the time you would develop tunnel vision and what the defense showed you before the snap or a half-second after isn't always what the play will ultimately end up being. So you end up missing wide-open receivers elsewhere while you forced it to the guy that was open the last time you ran this play. So no doubt he will be available again. Right. What could end up happening is you absolutely missed their user creeping into the screen, and they just snatched the smooth interception. It's tough with Hopkins having three catches for 40 yards on the drop. So you want to finish it off with a touchdown, but I can guarantee your opponent hasn't quickly forgotten.
Hopkins has been toasted him the whole way up the field, but because you've narrowed your focus, they can leave you blind to any adjustments they can make. What I'm saying is let their coverage dictate who's open and watch your interception rate fall. So that's why you want to have a built-in 2 to 3 reads for each passing play. So you're not staring down a. J. Brown to get open and panic throwing a triple coverage when a little pressure comes your way, but instead, because you have a game plan on how to execute the play you picked, you now know you need to move on to your next receiver. In your reads, reeds are usually set up to complement each other. So your first read could be a drag route, then your second read could be a post route. In this episode, the drag is covered more than likely to post is open because the middle of the field defender came up to cover. Setting up your re progression can also decrease the likelihood of you being baited into a throw-in general because, in your mind, you're going okay first read. Is he open now?
Second read, is he open? The third reading is open. Once you give the ball to your running back, it's easy to think, okay, go time accelerate but not always because your blockers are some big boys, you know, and speed burst is a very valued commodity. So you don't want to use it before it's necessary. So you want to make sure there aren't any immediate defenders in your path that a blocker can take care of first before you take off, and your blockers can't help you anymore. Suppose you notice the oncoming defender about to hit you. In that case, you can set them up to get blocked by faking a cutback or slowing down, allowing your big boy to catch up and secure the block for you before you put on the burners. one of my favorite features that have been introduced recently is in a selective play screen.
You're able to set up your favorite place that you'd like to use by double-tapping their icon, and if you back out, go to the favorite plate tab, or your go-to plays are there at your disposal, saving valuable time for you? I would say because of its universal nature of it. You can't make any specific package adjustments from the screen. Now we all got a little Brett Farve in us and the constant need to make a big play. One of the most straightforward Madden 22 tips I could give you to help yourself is learning to live to see another down. If you need the sidelines on his first or second down, there's no need to force a deep pass. Either take your yards and slide or throw the ball away from your first. We just covered there's pressure in your face, try and escape and throw it away.
And if not, take the sack. It's better than throwing a pick because you felt you needed to throw it. I just got loose with your quarterback fumbling, and getting them hurt should be at the top of your mind. So don't be afraid to slide or run out of bounces in situations like that. Another thing to get the hang of when passing the ball is when and how to throw the past. You can make the correct read but still get your pass deflected or intercepted by how late you throw the past and where you lead the receiver. So you must be aware of the defender's positioning as much as the receiver when determining how, when, and where you should throw the ball. Roberts told the sidelines can turn from easy reception. Too easy to pick by how late you decide to throw it so long.
Another easy example on deep balls You want to live, throw them when the receiver is about even with the defender as it then gives them time to completely clear him and use his speed to run under it. The receiver has almost no shot if you throw a bomb while the defender is still in front. Just because you think you should have thrown the ball about now doesn't mean the receiver is ready to come open for you. You must see if the receiver has the angle on the defender to get to the spot that you want to throw them to. You wait the less tip you have, and the defender can step right in front of it. Now, if you're wondering why you're getting rain all over in man, 222 things could be at play here. First of all, your run defenders probably aren't up to snuff.
And secondly, before we even worry about that, your run fits could be out of whack. Now, what a run fits, you asked to stop the run. You must make sure all your run fits a K. A. Gaps are covered by a defender. So if the ball carrier tries to pick a gap to run through, hopefully, you have somebody there chilling waiting to tackle them, or at least that's the goal. One of the problems I see guys running to when they play linebacker man is against outside runs. They bolt to the outside, leaving that gap wide open to be cut back into. Now I'm going to show you 43 defense against a single back ace, and the run fits for it by holding the left trigger on your controller and then square to deliver the gas. My defendants must go to if they run it to the left, and if you hit circle, it shows you where they must cover.
If the run is to the right, you can use this as a guideline, So you know where you're expected to be when it comes to defending run place. The basic gist is you want somebody covering each gap, and if you achieve that, you're on your way to stopping the run. Now I'll get more into keeping the numbers on your side in the run game. In a later video, unblocked defenders and skiing buster-type players stay tuned for that. You never want to be a statue in the pocket for too long, and Madden, there's a limit whether it's slightly stepping towards the left or right to help a block or gain a better position on Russia or full out rolling out the pocket avoid a sack. It will help if an internal clock goes off to remind you to keep moving.
So you don't make it super easy for Russia to get you because Russia's can and will come from all angles to bring you down, So standing still waiting for somebody to go and get you helps you in no way if you haven't gotten the ball out at a certain point it's time to move around and change the angle, the pass rushers spent so much time trying to get to attack you at giving you more time to make something happen. Next is knowing the type of catches you can do with your receiver and how they benefit you depending on where you're at. Firstly, you can set your adjustment, automatically attempting the type of catch you want for deep passes. You can settle for conservative catching, which always prioritizes run after the catch opportunities, which increases the chance of a defender jumping in front of you to intercept it.
And aggressive has them go for aggressive catches, which decreases the chance of runs after the net. Or you can just let the game decide for you for intermediate passes. You can opt for aggressive with your trigger and aggressive catch or run after the catch opportunity, which increases the chance of the ball being knocked out. A Conservative will trigger a possession catch that again severely limits your run after the catch opportunities as you go for a more secure type of catch that you are more likely to fall right to the ground. And to do it in-game, you hold Y on Xbox and Triangle on Playstation, two aggressive catches. You have X on Xbox and square on Playstation to run after the catch, And you hold an on Xbox and X on Playstation two conservative trap. And lastly, my poor brother here wasn't aware, but I'm going to let those of you who don't know in on It's been a few matters now, but you directly can send the nearest defender and coverage.
Or you could be spied at the quarterback if they decided to roll out or if they even think about running. Sometimes, the closest guy could be so far out of position that it won't even help you at all. But knowing this can prevent God from rolling out and waiting an eternity like I did to find somebody open. My guy had two guys in the spy here. For some reason, either one would have done the trick and to sent them. You click on the left stick on your controller. Don't be predictable in using it, though. Some guys will anticipate you doing this, while others will be so set on running, you can catch him slipping. Sorry, sports games. I hope this video was able to help you out, and if you were able to take even one thing, I went over and applied it to the game.
