Awesome video though man!! Subbed@!

[@showkase52]

You have to do a video on passing angles for diffrent routes and how to use the wide or short side of the field . That's what separates good from great

[@scarecape6213]

Want to play you

[@noahhoder7691]

Bro imma hire this man as my madden Coach

[@michaeljones5983]

Great info thank you for teaching me what I need to no about moving the ball

[@eRosales95]

I’m here because I throw bullet passes on 90% of my throws

[@mae2721]

Same

[@livelifels2726]

Dam I thought I was the only one

[@FallenSports]

Same lmao

[@Superdelphinus]

I can’t help but throw the bullets

[@windycityape7278]

Hyphy2v me too!! Lol

[@kennethwhite6442]

Bro, forget about Madden...Go get you an assistant coach position haha

[@lalfan2491]

Kenneth White that’s what I was thinking lol what’s this dude doing here on madden? 🤔

[@OvertIntelligence]

Kenneth White forreall. I’m top 1% ranked online H2H because of him. On my way to top 100 soon.

[@WallofJohn]

Brilliance Winz are you for real

[@blazemeoutpodcast9791]

Brilliance Winz custom playbook?

[@xDavid831]

Video games and real life are different buddy. I doubt his mental game isnt the same as good OCs.

[@jamaldaniel5581]

My receivers be wide open they catch it and start running and drop it wtf 😭😭 I’m done with this like idk what to do

[@rapptimes226]

Jd Smith Had this problem, it resulted in a massive amount of just ridiculous looking interceptions, with the ball getting picked off like inches from the ground, or getting spiked up in the air like a volleyball because of collision 🤦🏽‍♂️ , I started having a lot more success doing possession catches on basically everything except check downs. Pressing square (ps4) or X (XB1) when the receiver catches the ball this year, feels like a 50/50 chance, are they gonna actually hold on to it? or drop it 😂 possession is like 90% rate if it’s a smart throw. Even covered, a solid receiver will still make the catch most of the time, unless they get destroyed while their making the catch

[@gonehon5535]

Jd Smith lucky my 95 receivers never get open

[@zackbittle126]

hold rb bruh

[@jmoneygood2409]

try changing your chemistries around and make shire your picking your catch type at the right time.

[@beardahnnn8215]

That's why I like your channel.while I regularly use most if these it's nice to see you Post videos for the "veteran players" as well as videos for the beginners or guys not that experienced.

[@Kyle-21-]

i hate the touch pass this year i feel like it’s impossible sometimes

[@stevegallegos6554]

It works good for me just hold the bulletin for about 1-2 seconds and it should touch it

[@jungleboy5380]

It should have been something like holding both RB and RT while pressing the target

[@jungleboy5380]

I mean LT AND LB

[@thejorgeayala]

Gun Bunch. Inside post. Streak the inside receiver. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@KingDavidTBE]

Cover 6 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@eugenetougas7868]

Super Informative! Been Playing For Years But Every Little Bit Helps Thanks For Your Time.

[@reppin4rmnc]

By far, the MOST OP routes in Madden 20 is the 4 additional routes you get with the backfield master superstar ability. I've had stretches of games where Christian Mccaffrey racks up 100+ yards receiving running only those routes. Actually, to be more specific, the "Texas" route is the most OP route right now. If you lob it to your RB as soon as he pivots and is facing up-field you are guaranteed 5-10 yards. As for "slowing down" Mack/Miller off the edge; audible your TE/RB to block & release. And the ONLY way to stop Aaron Donald is to press L3 + R3 + LT + RT as soon as you snap the ball to execute the "Eli Manning" and just curl up in the fetal position and accept the sack.

[@iansullivan3547]

One thing I like to do against a blitz is for example if its the nickle corner blitzing you would move the rb to the left to cover the blitzer then use the slide protection and slide the line to the right so you have the rb covering the nickel blitz while having the rest of the line focus on a middle blitz and protecting the right side to keep everything covered

[@deebee0712]

Extremely helpful tips...I'm going to practice mode to work on my pocket presence and my short yardage. I throw too many interceptions from tunnel vision on 1 receiver or I panic and backup too far on passing plays. thank you for the tips

[@lockupkeeper]

I learn this from you last year!! Thanks for the refresher course homie!!💪🏿💪🏿 All the way from chicago

[@tithead232]

Thanks bro. U really helped out my game. I had no pocket presence and now I'm getting a good second or so in the pocket more.

[@bdor_5444]

Thank you these are the best tips on KZbin

[@-fluffly3xe-.375]

GENIUS!! I really appreciate the info. I know my game will improve. KEEP UP, the GREAT work!!!

[@babyluvjr]

Dope tips, pimpin. I have both Xbox and PS4, but i lean more towards my xbox for madden. I tried the high/low passes during an online game about 30 minutes ago and whoa, made a huge difference in my 3rd down completions. I'm a runner since I use Denver, but my passing needed a lil boost. I'm still trying to get the blitz protection down packed, but other than that, your tip helped me alot. Thanks bro.

[@hokieneer17]

Anyone remember the skills trainers in the 10-13 range of Madden? They had a great pocket presence one, where tennis balls were coming at you from locations and random intervals. You always had to keep your feet moving.

[@mjegaming_]

Great video! You're my go-to guy for Madden tips.

[@adiu.1607]

Really helpful, thanks!

[@EaglesPro]

great vid man. Your vids are amazing!

Good tips, great presentation. Keep it up. Thanks

[@bnasty9321]

I'm playing my friend tonight in the playoffs. This has helped me so much. Thank you, bro!

[@meankingkajun]

Great Job... very professionally done

[@soundcloudatscotty_absolut2893]

Yo Eric, can you break down when to use the aggressive, RAC, and possession catches?!?! Because on some RAC catches I swear they have space but the possession catch is the one that makes them dive for ball.

[@thaariqulakwa8834]

If you want to dive catch and run, use aggresive catch.... If your receivers good you will have a big gain....

[@itsRyanSlasher]

I annoyed my friend in franchise because I had 3 superstar abilities on my defensive line so he had like no time to do anything lmao

[@Hdtjnddujnv]

good video man!!!

[@ArtietheArchon]

great video... at 13:14 your other receiver you should put on a slant, drag or square in route to maximize your options of someone getting open (those work well in case it's man coverage)

[@tariqcoleman3496]

Fam you don’t know how much you just helped me this video has all my weaknesses in madden lol 😂 now I can fix them off this video appreciate it bro

[@SteveB4829]

Everything seems easy to show how to do a good play or tactic in practice mode, but i d like to see this inside a pro level challenge or something similar.

[@themaaeaigalove590]

Helps me so much trying to play Madden✊🏼

[@ChrisNieves]

another great video..... Bro, im getting torched by 1 play right side post routes and can do nothing about it. I can even shade over top because I know its coming and no matter what the receiver always-well 9 times out of ten makes some sort of crazy animation catch to which i cant even tackle him with either my corner or safety. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE DOLPHINS here. Almost as if shading really works, it doesnt matter whether im using zone or man, same result.

[@stevenrwilson181]

Bro you are a freaking god of madden. All props andfrespect to you. I be learned more from you than ever

[@100nation8]

Thank u soo much!!!

[@hoodedr6]

I love how In depth and learning skill is in madden, why it’s my favourite sports game.

[@dylanrhynard4140]

Great vids bruh

[@collinstone7044]

[@matthewgouger1289]

ID-ing the mike & Double team mechanics are a game changer for run & pass blocking

[@mdaveyphoto]

I'm only a week into Madden and these videos have helped me so much.

[@makemsayugh]

Good stuff I thought that this was basic knowledge but I guess not for everyone. Keep it up!

[@Bpepper74]

Thanks!

[@THEFITNESS411]

Good tips 🏈👍

[@adamyusuf9229]

I play on a competitive level this year and I know most of the stuff you talked about. However it's good to watch over and over again because it keeps you fresh and sharp. Thanks for the good content and I threw you that like and subbed as well. Looking forward to your future content.

[@brendastovall2720]

Thank you

[@codygreene724]

Can u do one on tackling I'm miss a lot of open field tackles

[@jets3353]

My suggestion is to hold LT first and when they juke go to their side and press “A” on them. That will do a soft tackle so they can break it easier but by then you’ll have another defender to stop it

[@dirtbagindistress5545]

Hold Lt or L2 and tackle in the runners direction. I make 90% open tackles strafing like that

[@CarlosChavez-fs4mz]

I’ve given up many TDs just because of a failed hit stick or failed strip

[@joesuka2114]

Throw a fade route

[@basharsalloum5809]

Don’t hit stick if you’re one on one he is more likely to joke you out just go for the tackle

[@eastsidemanatlanta3850]

why do my receivers drop the ball all the time i mean it’s mind boggling how much they do this i put ball in great windows help me please

[@mikefrost8815]

User catch em !

[@mikefrost8815]

@Punkie747jhg damn!! User catching solved the issue for me.. Before I did user controlled they'd drop WIDE OPEN passes regularly.. Even short little 5yard slants to the middle.. Bullet pass without holding the jump ball to throw and see what that does... I've noticed the jump balls are typically the ones they drop.

[@slippinjimmy6511]

Madden just doesn’t like you

[@christophersalinas2722]

In 2021 almost playing madden 20 still I user with 92 ovr X factor wr against star 85 cb and my Wr can’t catch the ball at all man, they about to score but the second they get touched they act like a little girl and drop the ball and fall

[@Hj2k80]

@@mikefrost8815 how do i do that

[@deecee284]

how do I go over the top on press coverage. When i press out of cover 4 guys blow by my cornerbacks (look wide open) without any pre-snap motion. How do they do it? Is it a double move, and if so how do you do it?

[@dylanpatton8375]

Nice video bro.

[@VinoVonn_NA5]

I love these points but against User that MLB lurk takeaways a lot of check downs any suggestions?

[@ChanceTalksBusiness]

My pocket collapses every play almost😂

[@shane9245]

Help! In QB1 I always throw good or at least decent throws, but my receivers can NEVER CATCH THE BALL! it is extremely frustrating! The defense always knocks it out of their hand

[@trapdaflight8637]

You are super helpful thank you for the tips

Happy to help!

Thanks Dawg

Great channel :) Thinking of buying Madden 21 as i play on PC but its rather expensive :( Just trying to learn the ropes from your videos as i want to play as a CB if i do purchase the game.

Never played madden downloaded madden 20 game pass im watching videos to understand how to play gonna learn all the routs formations etc this video is great am slowly picking stuff up ty

Hey Eric, I really appreciate what you are doing! I have a request, do you have more “basic “ passing videos to share? Thanks again.

Hold the button down of who you wanna throw to. There you go dingus.....

Dumbass just press the button

[@jamesandrews1090]

Is it better to possesion catch or aggresive catch in 50/50 ball situations with non X factor receivers???

i played the game for a whole day offense only in franchise on all madden difficulty and i actually improved a lot with passing its only my first year of madden

I appreciate this your the man, hopefully this turns our 1-6 season around 😭

[@darriuspatton4934]

I went 4-12

[@evanpickett259]

How come in face of the franchise mode if you drive down the field with little time left and are within field goal range and end up on 4th down it won’t give you the field goal and also won’t give you the option to go for it, I have tied one game and lost one game after driving down the field with under a min left and in field goal range for the win on 4th down

[@high-rise8505]

Great video bro are you playing on all Madden

[@erickirby6202]

Thanks I really needed to know how to walk as a quarterback because I always just walked to the right and always. Got sacked

[@hudsonmorrill9215]

How do I know what defense it is like man, zone, blitz ext. and how do I I know if my wide receivers will be open.

Could you do some catching tutorials... I keep dropping or pushing the ball up for a tip drill ...

[@drewc2735]

Is holding L2 for a low point pass the same as holding the right stick down during the pass?

[@edwards9994]

What does shade down mean? Is this similar to press coverage?

[@joelpacheco899]

I’m not going to blatantly point it out but I just wanted to point out an error you made with your QB at 14:18. Gotta string it alllll together Mr. Rayweather lol just bustin your chops.

[@tomphillips5513]

Are you playing on all madden difficulty here? Because, I’ve taken the step up from all pro to all madden and have found the difference insane! The pocket gets crushed before I have time to make the first read, blockers get thrown aside when I hand the ball off to my HB and I’m forced into making panic throws and throwing blindly because the edge rush comes in so darn quick. I’m trying to follow the advice here but find that I keep getting obliterated by something different every play. I don’t want to go back to all pro though as I’m bored of going anywhere between 12-4 to 15-1 every season. I want to feel challenged not brutalised!

[@vinniehugo9065]

How do I help my deep passes connect more? I play with the Raiders and almost every time I throw deep someone knocks the ball out even after the WR clearly caught the ball. What button should I press to secure the catch? I’m playing with Xbox controller for pc.

[@vinniehugo9065]

Nevermind someone had the same problem below apparently😂 will try x button.

[@macanthony1982]

When i snap the ball, i just let the AI do dropback unless im evading the rush or about to scramble

Both triggers pulled and dive button, i play ps4 so r2 and l2 plus square slides!

[@QWill7]

How can I stop comeback routes? I’ve tried every defense I can think of. Even play underneath and it’s always open when the timing is right

[@thabullishbulldog5040]

change the coaching strategy for cb to watch the qb and press the reciever, do it with help over the top as it does leave u open for the fly route.

[@kray97]

Is there any way to do hot routes?

[@daman2521]

Any suggestions on how to beat the cover 4 blitz?🤦🏽‍♂️literally face that every game

[@EliWitz]

Anthony Hargrave don’t know which one your talking about but the usual way to beat cover 4 is to take the underneath like slants, drag, 5 yard in, if it’s one of those blitz’s where they get to you right away run a wr screen, rpos work well also cause the linebackers rush and the middle of the field is empty, and the rush slows up cause the run threat.

[@lamarjackson6478]

Thanks man now I won’t get rushed right when the ball snaps

[@thaariqulakwa8834]

Well, at first i thought that i was a noob for using a drag route sooo often that it pissed my friends and switched it to man to man... Well that is easy money maannnn

[@Yoni123]

at 6:45 what does he press to set that O up?

[@LRayWilliams]

At 11:40 what’s the formation and play called?

[@jojo-gy9pp]

Wait for linebackers to retreat into zones before passing off a receiver

[@okuriookami7858]

I refuse to play a qb career because the cpu are gods in coverage, if it’s not wide open its an interception and the pass rush is ridiculous sometimes like “hike” sack before the drop back animation is even complete with a decent line too

[@stezo76]

Great vid and tips! 👍👍
