Madden 22/23 Hints/Tips

How do you stop the Statue Quarterback?
First, you should always choose plays that have different tiers of passing routes.  The QB statue happens because of a flaw in the coach mode logic.  Also, you can use player lock away from the QB. To do this on the joystick, press the B button until you highlight the running back.  Then press down on the left joystick twice quickly.  You are ''pushing'' down twice, not ''pointing'' the left joystick ''down twice.  The ''player lock'' icon will appear on your RB, When you've done this, you can also choose to use that RB as a blocker and probably should in most cases since locking him will cause him to hesitate before running a route..

What's the best coverage in Madden? Zone or Man to Man?
With Rediset, we've done what we can do to improve M2M coverage, but zone is still the most dependable, My favories are ...cover 3 and cover 4

What about blitzes?
Be careful with them. Many players will adjust to your blitzing and leave you weeping. I like blitzes that have 2 or 3 defenders in zone coverage.

Why is my defender guy just standing there?
Because you changed the highlighted player and then accidentally touched the control joystick. This means the PC is giving you control of the highlighted player.
Be careful or you will leave a WR wide open for a 70 yard TD!

My FG kicks are wide right... Wide Left
The longer your FG try, the more rapid the meter moves for accuracy (the 2nd one)  First is the strength meter. The harder you kick, the faster the accuracy meter will climb. If you're kicking an extra point, don't let the strength meter go above 50%.  If the kick is a 50 yarder, then you'll need to go almost all the way up.

When can I go for it on 4th Down?
1) If you are at your "Opponent's" 40 or closer to the opponent's endzone, you may go for it on 4th down
2) If you are down/losing in the 4th quarter you can go for it at will.
Otherwise you may not go for it on 4th.

Can I ever control a player after the snap of the football?
No!  It will get you ejected from all Paydirt leagues.

Can I own more than 1 team in a league?
Nope. Not without permission. Also reason for dismissal.
