This shit is hard. Defense is stupid hard. For one all of the pre snap stuff has been completely changed. The button function has been completely changed. On top of tackling is hard bad pursuit angles defense is stupid hard.
Thankfully you can turn this crap off now. The amount of deep catches I’ve allowed from using switch stick unknowingly while trying to disengage from a block has been frustrating to say the least
Defense is wack in this game. I’ll have a player all over a WR and they still won’t intercept the ball. Plus, the player names are so small I can barely see which player I’m selected on
@T0pMan15 My DBs honestly rarely get beat but maybe I ain't played enough. When they get beat it's because in pre snap I didn't realize that I put them in run stop and the team throws it. If you can play defense on this game on Hiesman your the truth.
@@steelcity4123flick up to hype up the crowd. just don't spam it like I do because then if your opponent snaps the ball you won't know who your user is for at least a second 😭
I’m playing linebacker and trying to get off a block and it switches me to corner and now he’s running upfield leaving the WR open, I wish I could turn this feature off tbh
It's really hard to know which player you're switching to when they're at the edge of the screen. I keep trying it but the results of the switch aren't predictable in my experience.
Switch stick is the worst thing I've ever had in a game. Idk how many times I've accidentally switched & left a giant hole in my defense cuz it took me a sec to realize oh i switched players tryna do a block shed...
Man, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this. I never could get the switch stick to work because I always waited till the quarterback through the ball man I love this game of EA. Did a terrible job explaining things thanks man.
I remember the days when you just would time Circle ⭕️ and get set up for Users, overcooking a good thing if you ask me. And then rewiring our whole brains on the QB read option plays. I feel for the dyslexic people damm.
This is a lot easier to use against human players because we all typically have a few plays we like to run or certain tendencies after a while it’s easy to pick up on and jump routes…i haven’t been able to get it to work against the cpu. Instead of locking it out once it leaves the QB maybe if it had a slight delay of like a second it would work better
Yeah I don’t see how the switch stick works that well cause on heisman they throw the ball quick..also anyone having issues where you press triangle to intercept on D and the player reacts late I have missed so many int’s cause of this they need a new patch
I feel like if learned, defense is nasty this year. I literally just bought the game. Can anyone give me any tips or just let me know what to expect. I come from madden 24 and was decently ranked. Just wanting to know what people do more. I seen the the run game is nasty on here. I’m ready to ball out
Ya completely different. In past games, u weren’t able to switch to players in coverage during a play, only switching to players closest to the QB. This allows u to switch to deep blue zones, mid zones, or any player who is in coverage
I don’t believe so. If u don’t like it u can just make sure to not flick the right stick. Or if your usering a linebacker put him in a blitz assignment. If u do that switch sticking doesn’t work. It only works if ur player is in a coverage assignment
U can’t switch to any player u want when pressing circle. Circle puts u on the player closest to the QB. This gives u the ability to switch to anyone in coverage
Yeah the switch stick sucks balls. Given up so many blown coverage Td’s by accidentally switching to the wrong player. Stupid ass feature and I wish I could shut it off
The switch stick is a garbage mechanic, it doesn’t work right and it swaps me while I’m trying to send pressure on a scrambling qb and ends up leaving someone wide open. That shit is ASS
Maaan defense is ridiculous on this game! I get you need to have some IQ, but it’s really luck now. Offenses are OP and the CPU will let you down, even when you put them in position to make the play🤦🏿♂️😮💨🤣 Game was way more enjoyable 2014
oh, i see. i didn't realize that the switch stick would also magically make man coverage even remotely competent, and that it would also make my defenders take the right pursuit routes, make proper tackles for loss, etc. silly me.
This feature is pointless. The problem was never not clicking on to a defender it was the game deciding that the guy i clicked onto for an INT wouldnt be granted an intereception animation even though im smashing the Y button. EA trying to cover their shitty coding and animation based gameplay by adding a feature nobody asked for.
This feature has nothing to do with covering things up. It has to do with guarding more routes and giving the defense more flexibility on defense. It adds a HUGE skill gap to the game.
@@RedZoneRockyNCAA i dont even think people are really using it. Ive seen more people saying they wish they could turn it off than praising this so called skill gap it creates
@@Barmelo-Xanthony973 if you start practicing with it and labbing people would understand. Most people who say they wish they can turn it off messed up once and called it quits. A new skill like this takes time to practice, once mastered, can be AMAZING.
@@RedZoneRockyNCAA then it's pointless vs a legit player or a legit CPU QB lmao switch or not if you're beat you're beat stop with the rookie level shit this matters not
@@RedZoneRockyNCAA it's not a game changer if you played arch manning that would be useless and he isn't even that good of a QB maybe that works on Daniel Jones that's my problem with the game if simply making a strategic switch can blow up a play in the perimeter then its worse than I have seen smh sounds like some CU BS
This game is such a disappointment!! 👎 kicking is a total joke & the defences are ridiculously easy so games are 50-56 etc. Also zero great college team entrances at Bowl Games…the old game (2014) had fly overs, confetti etc. Hell for the national championship the players all just run on the field 🙄🤷♂️
My favorite part of the switch stick is doing it by accident and giving up blown coverage Tds
That’s my favorite part too honestly
💯💯🙃
Shitty game developers.
I think you can turn it off in the settings you also can use the d-pad
@@alexjohnson8724 can’t turn it off

Game moves so fast I'm happy pass rushing with D-lineman and adjusting sliders to emulate the most realism and let my secondary do its job.
Exactly 😂
Me all day
Same I just play my best d lineman and if I don’t get to the qb I just hit circle when the ball is in the air and try to make a play on the ball

@777biscuits I am dyslexic person I ain't recovering from pre snap 🤣🤣🤣 I just don't even try the option.
@@icemanx5085 lol took some getting used to. Hold A or X to keep it with the QB for the read options. Press nothing to give to RB
Finally someone talking about defense
if you have a solid DT and/or DE you can get pressure yourself
I remember when it didn't take a degree to play and enjoy this game.
Takes some time to get the hang of it but once you do, shit be 🔒
Yessur🔥🔥
At this point trying to learn how to play this game successfully im going to need a defense as well as a offensive coordinator to help me out.
idk why people say this is so good you literally will get costed the game if you mess up once trying to do it
what does "get costed" mean? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?!
Looks good, just going to take some time adapting to the new features
It’s a cool thing till it switches you to the wrong person and you up leaving another guy wide open.

This has messed me up multiple times. Now I'm a bit more used to it
What is i want to switch from one lineman to another lineman?
It constantly switches to guys in coverage and i give up big plays.
I paid 100$😂 my players should be doing the right thing
Yeah I don’t see how the switch stick works that well cause on heisman they throw the ball quick..also anyone having issues where you press triangle to intercept on D and the player reacts late I have missed so many int’s cause of this they need a new patch
Its easier to just man whatever receiver is giving you problems
👍 cool.. I'll try this next time
How does this make sense if I’m doing Dline moves?
You can also press the left stick up while pressing B or O to switch back to a defensive player in coverage!
Just seems more than what it should be. Why can't I just switch play as a regular way and it go to the right guy???
Because the game is shit. I didn't know the game would be like playing old school Mortal kombat trying to do finish moves! Smh😂
Needed this
How do you get the zone to show up during the play on 33 seconds?
Great. Now i just gotta get used to it 😅

I’m just thinking the game is way too realistic. Honestly that switch stick is cool but HARD af to master while playing the game itself
I used this it’s so much better
it doesn’t work either im hit sticking the air or the ground
Nahh why don’t the corners press regardless of the coverage call being press or the adjustment press snap
is this not the same thing as clicking b or circle or is it different?
Ya completely different. In past games, u weren’t able to switch to players in coverage during a play, only switching to players closest to the QB. This allows u to switch to deep blue zones, mid zones, or any player who is in coverage
@@RedZoneRockyNCAA isnt crazy how nfl blitz 2001 had better defender selection than madden has had for over 20 years.
They ruined the functionality of player switching with circle.
i’ve been trying to do this but for some reason it hasn’t been working. is there a setting that needs to be turned on?
No, but also make sure that your user is in a coverage assignment and not a blitz. Lmk if you’re still having trouble getting it to work!
As someone who doesn’t like this mechanic, is there any way to toggle it off?
I don’t believe so. If u don’t like it u can just make sure to not flick the right stick. Or if your usering a linebacker put him in a blitz assignment. If u do that switch sticking doesn’t work. It only works if ur player is in a coverage assignment
I feel like no one uses this. I'm on Heisman on online play and haven't seen this but a handful of times
Why make something that was simple so complicated? They’ll probably just revert it back as a new feature in 3 years
I be gettin my ass cooked cause of this i had to turn the shit off 😂😂 i just use “O”
Maybe they could have just not been super stupid and let circle change the fucking player like it should
circle still changes players as well
Circle does change the player
Want this game now
Minecraft villager speaking facts 🙏
Thanks
Not gonna lie what’s the real difference between this and taping circle😂
U can’t switch to any player u want when pressing circle. Circle puts u on the player closest to the QB. This gives u the ability to switch to anyone in coverage
I just wait until the ball is in the air then press circle to switch to that defender and make a play on the ball
my right stick got stick drift can’t even do that
I never knew there was a thing called a switch stick I be on madden ?
Mines don’t work sometimes it switch sometimes it don’t even try in practice mode
