Anyone else having trouble...?

[xCH0Nx]

Is anyone else having trouble with the deep pass? I cant get anything deep. My only long plays seem to be drags where my WR breaks a tackle and goes the distance. Anyone have any tips?

I set my speed threshold to 42 and I get pretty good separation against slower corners. You're never going to get a clean catch on a streak consistently. But you will see it once or twice a game.

I'm gonna have to try that. New Question, are you having any problems covering the flats online?

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I don't go for the deep pass very often, but it seems like you should only go for it if your reciever has a step on the db and there is no safety in the area. You also can't just lob it because the defender will catch up to it. And make sure you throw the ball before the reciever is ~25 yards or so away otherwise it will probably fall short and get picked off. I had a nice one last night to Roy Williams for a 40 yard TD pass to the back of the endzone, I should have saved it. It also was on playaction, as soon as I saw the safety commit to the middle of the field I knew I had to try it and he came down with it.

I don't know if you user catch or not, but you can also try holding up on the left stick while throwing so that the QB throws it long and try to manually get to it...manual catching is really fun this year

For defending the flats if the guy is constantly going there I just stick to a cover 2 or manually cover one side with a LB in man to man. What sucks though is that if your opponent recognizes the constant cover 2 its easy to beat.

I've only played tracker games and it does seem that guys will go to the flats in a pinch because it has such a high success rate. Hell I do it too

I am not very good though (0-2 in tracker games), so others might have better advice.

I've connected with Issac Bruce on more than a few deep balls. you just have to pick your spots.

Shit, at this point any advice is better than what I've been doing. I've been playing online and throwing to the flats alot hopping someone would stop me. That would in turn teach me how they are doing it, but no luck.

I do it pretty easily when its DeSean Jackson one on one with someone. But if it's man with a safety over top there is no shot.

 

[xCH0Nx]

I am gonna have to practice alot with Steve Smith. It also might be that Jake Dellomme sucks balls.

 

[xCH0Nx]

Well... Steve Smith is a midget.

ive had pretty good success with Roddy White. If I get man-to-man with no safety help i throw it and then user catch it

Looks like I'm gonna have to lab a buncha shit. Seems to me I'm the only one having trouble with the deep passes. Damn.

Nah, you are definitely not the only one. I was having problems with the deep ball for awhile too. If you have a speed wide-out, look for the man2man defense and lob it over(make sure you didn't wait to long, as it will be short and most likely turn into a jump ball).

Or you can gun it and undercut the throw for a user catch.

I'm not a pro with the deep ball yet but I can tell you with practice, it will become a lot easier.

Sweet, I'm not alone!
