does madden 24 have no captian patches?

[@nikhilruggiero6315]

hey man, madden 24 keeps crashing and im not sure how to fix ive tried a lota stuff can u try an help?

[@jimmer1429]

Me too

[@Nosoliciting.]

@Ericwrayweather how can I tell the difference between 24 & 25 played at a friend's house not sure which it is

[@ScottyHotty-oi8cr]

This is the best explanation I've seen. I know the rules of football inside and out, but when I get to Madden it's always figuring out all of the mechanics and how to get the best yardage. For me, the worst thing that keeps happening is when I throw a pass to a player, they'll jump up and grab it but will immediately drop it in the air once they are tackled by the man on them.

[@philliphoffman4611]

exactly, how do you get them to catch it?

[@tru_yt]

hold y for aggressive catch, it makes it easier but not 100%@@philliphoffman4611

[@stephenlodge3547]

Hell yeah till I watched this video I didn't know the difference between 4-3 and nickel formations

[@kamithegod00]

it really isn't

[@oldschoolrivethead]

I'm currently downloading 24 as my very first Madden and, as an extremely casual NFL fan, for most of this video it's like you're speaking a foreign language. :) Hopefully I can pick things up quickly once I actually get in game.

[@fluttershystayshigh4202]

Same here, just downloaded it myself and haven't played a Madden since the ps2 era, planning on firing it up for the first time tonight and wish he had gone over certain key things like how to stiff arm, take off as the QB, and fake snap to try and draw the opponent off sides. Guess i'll have to figure it out on my own.

[@ryanmccrief2422]

Same but I play madden a bit. I can play all madden against real people and only lose by 3 tds so that’s not terrible I guess 😭

Never watched a single NFL game but for some reason I've bought madden so now I'm sitting here trying to figure out what is it all about :D

[@jonb1807]

Same. I'm British, only just learned the basics of American football and am pretty lost in Madden :D

This is the most comprehensive straight to the point guide. Thanks for providing content we can easily take notes on. this video is a great companion to the skills guide in game.

I bought and played American football game for the first time,i was a football ⚽️ fan but now i am enjoying this new game.Thanks for the tips and i am doing well with your tips :)

[@boxingclub345]

I understand why the NFL really doesn’t use a 4-4 but as a high school football coach I would love to see a 4-4 in madden

[@EricRayweather]

4-4 has been in Madden for years. Only in certain defensive playbooks though.

[@WardenSpectreCommander]

Dallas playbook has a 4-4 in it

[@B1inded3agle__]

@@lenke08 oh so it’s some sort of scheme. I haven’t really been watching football lately so i wasnt sure. And i dont watch the eagles

[@2zdaysound7240]

I can feel the difference in passing this year. It’s definitely more sensitive and skill based this year. I’m enjoying the game so far can’t even lie. Maybe I’m just brain washed.

[@demarcuswilliams86]

Felt this 😂

[@somelikeithot38]

I agree BUT still too many swatted down passes that are unrealistic. And throws from qbs that have no business making those throws. Etc etc etc

[@Hulkamaniac418]

I haven’t played madden in a few years, but I remember watching a vid you did similar to this back then. Needed a refresher. Thanks for still doin this 👍

[@shawng4886]

Passing in 24 is brutal! Everything gets swatted seemingly no matter how open my receiver is!

[@Shiesty023]

True but it’s also because u might be throwing it up to much and depends how fast your reciver is getting by him

[@cancelalexzz]

when i’m picking a play all my plays pop up on the side how do i get it to pop up like this at 4:38 ?

[@cahrlton]

@@cancelalexzzit’s only for next gen consoles like the ps5 or xbox series

[@Emanchi27]

They honestly need to amp up pass rush a little bit from the dline , I went against a few xfactor DE, never double teamed them and I barely notice them

[@BigB_HayesTV]

No they dont..last year it was terrible dline was op..it killed the fun of the game thats y they changed it..its fine how it is… go against m.parsons u will feel the pressure

[@keithmoore6334]

Thanks!

[@zoso8818]

Thanks, Eric. Is EA going to fix the Momentum setting in franchise mode? You can toggle it OFF but it still appears in-game and impacts gameplay. Happening for all users and EA has yet to acknowledge it

[@joshuaharrell7187]

On point as always. Love your vids man. I cannot pass on this season. Never have had a problem before. Ever. I’m getting smoked against the CPU when throwing. No problems running tho. I’m also not cheesing and running same play over and over, trying to be realistic.

[@SteppinStunna]

I suck at passing this year

[@_JEBUS]

Im loving the run game this year. Sometimes thats all i do and players get mad lol but it beats throwing interceptions.

[@JimneyCriquet]

Amen

[@jayart8751]

Hell yeah with Pollard or McCaffrey all day 😂😂 or with Lamar Jackson scrambling

[@_JEBUS]

@@jayart8751 McCaffrey's jukes are insane. If they cant stop the run you gotta just keep doing it. And me personally on defense I get stressed when I face someone like me that runs the ball lol. It's not easy to stop.

[@jayart8751]

​@@_JEBUSespecially when they are up by a TD in the second half and they run the clock all the way down and keep running it especially with the cowboys and 49ers

These tip are so useful I not that good in madden been playing since madden 17 now I might be finally good

[@JacobKingman-nm3kc]

exactly what i needed, thanks man

[@Speedy28Gonzales]

Good video man. Learned some good stuff

[@Dreaaddy]

My problem is that I’m not really too football savvy as far as what exact play or adjustments I need to make on offense and defense..I just pick random plays 💀

[@user-zc1ht1ky6m]

That's me right there.😂💯

[@sticki_iki9699]

Yeeaah samee

[@Hydrograd57]

I'm actually just getting back into football after not even watching it in nearly a decade and even then I wasn't too savvy on plays or reading a defense so I'm in the same boat lol I'd definitely like to learn all that though. It would make the playing experience much easier I'm sure

[@TheFoolInTheWall]

I've always played franchise, I literally have no idea what I'm doing when I play against real people, I'll always just end up turning the ball over but I have only played like 2 games ever online

[@jeffrey7327]

Very helpful, appreciate it this.

[@trickshotarmy_official895]

I’m a huge NFL fan and I’ve been watching since I was little. I just recently bought madden 24 like a month ago even tho madden 25 is out now but I’m not that good so this video helped out a lot

[@irvinne7486]

Can you make a guide for non football watcher/american beginners?

[@GoldenIrishPaws]

Appreciate the vid Eric!

[@BigMikasuki]

No matter who I play with or against im getting 10+ yards on every run. Shid even in the Red zone I'm taking it to the tunnel.

[@sykrss9534]

I took a 5 year hiatous so the struggle is real, played a guy who was 45-1 and he beat me 96-0 I’m talking dude knew everything I was doing before I did it I had no where to pass yet every play he’s got 4 guys running wide open no matter what coverage I was in

[@_JEBUS]

Yep those tryhards just know how to expose whatever defense you are in. They'll audible to whatever gives them the advantage. Good thing is its not common to play those types. I'd just get going. No need to waste your time.

[@Alexkicks99]

This definitely helped me bro. I played right now and ended up playing better. Good fkn video

[@ManovSteelo]

This was AWESOME. Thank you!!

[@KyrosT_]

I haven’t played madden since probably 08’ or 09’. I wanna get back into it but it’s insane how many mechanics have been added since I last played.

Which is passing mechanic should I use? Place + Acc, Place + Power, or classic

This will definitely help me.. I'm thinking about joining a league

[@keefedashiell7752]

I found this incredibly useful thank you.

[@LeQuito]

Any catch on the run should be a RAC catch by default!! Tell me what receiver is not trying to gain YAC

[@mbedford20]

Is it just me that's sick of defenders have eyes in the back of thier heads. Defenders can't see the ball yet as soon as u release it he changes to go after the ball. Or the 40 foot sky jump to int. It?? Is it my crappy play or is it comp ai cheat?

[@hugogomez1647]

Great info!!

[@dan.s865]

Where did the feature that made players reach for the goal line or first down go? I swear it was in madden a few years back and never returned

[@2zdaysound7240]

It’s still there. Just doesn’t play out all the time but it’s triggers here and there

[@willg3011]

Great Content as always Eric 👍 , Quick question what button is the pursuit of the Qb for the closest defender when he starts to scramble is it L3 or R3 still?

[@AR-eb1cf]

Zones and man broken..literally standing still and leaving WRs wide open. On top of the lags/slow motion game play. A big step back from last year so far

[@bradcrandall6636]

You are a lifesaver even though I figure it out the passing mechanics over the weekend. I just wish I figure them out before I got mad and threw my controller against the wall😂

[@shawneyboi2943]

Great Video thank you, what is the background music?

[@WardenSpectreCommander]

Small Franchise Mode complaint, it's a glitch where the draft class equipment can't be edited.

[@zoso8818]

Another Franchise complaint: when you toggle Momentum to OFF in League Settings momentum still appears in-game and impacts gameplay. I want to hide the Momentum meter and in-game menus so badly, ruins the game for me

[@zoso8818]

@@kfcnewbornflea5333 I don't like bugs/glitches that are impacting gameplay 100% of the time? I'm upset that EA hasn't acknowleded it for over 7 days but used it as a selling point for this year's game? You are correct I want this game to be good so badly but they can't even get basic features that were available in the beta right. I can only take so much disappointment year after year
