As a guy who loves offense, I'm gonna hate this but someone like my cousin and some of my friends who loves defense, I know they gonna be ysing this all the time so I gonna have to come up with a gameplan when playing against them
Hoping we don't have to use bullshit like zone drop depths on defense or bullshit ass base align. Wild how in madden players could execute their assignments from a base align press. I feel bad for cool dudes like Phicam and others whos names are associated with such a trash ass game. Fuck Madden
the counter to this is that now pump fakes are actually useful, since when you fake, the meter appears over the receiver you faked to for a split second. if you catch your defender being over aggressive, you can punish him easily
You could do this back when Madden was on Sega Genesis in the 90's nothing new they take stuff away bring it back as a feature,one-handed catches should be just a spectacular catch by elite receivers this just crazy.
You could choose which players to switch to mid play in the 90s? I find that hard to believe when you can’t do that in 2k football games or any other madden games.
Bro I know so many times I could off picked the ball but couldn’t switch defenders in madden 24 I hope madden 25 has that feature also Directing how many yards a receiver goes that’s also fire 🔥
@@HayhoeHayhoe This has never been in Madden before. Currently, you can switch to the closest person who has the ball and thats it. This will allow you to switch to any player prior to the ball being thrown. You can start on a MLB and toggle to the FS when you see you are getting bombed prior to the QB throwing to better cover a route combination that you wouldnt be able to react to until the ball is in the air.
I’m pretty sure I read that when the ball is in the air it defaults to switch stick instead of hit stick, and after the ball is either in the hands of a receiver or defender, or has been touched, hit stick controls will resume.
To be honest, they balanced this out pretty well from what I have been playing. It is not too OP. It is kind of hard to get consistently. If I’m being honest, it doesn’t always switch to where I wanted to which is more on me than the game I’m just glad it’s not super crazy but it’s pretty useful
No, this allows you to switch onto any coverage defender anywhere on the field by flicking the stick that way. B will only allow you to switch to the closest defender as you mentioned.
I need this in madden I never played ncaa I preordered it but thinking of canceling but that’s what I struggle with in madden defense. I swear I feel like I have to be everywhere but only stuck on 1 person. My defense always seem caught in a daze and not aware of what’s going on and I can’t react.
I can already see this being glitchy. Dues gonna be user rushing and clicking to move covetage all in. An instant its gonna be worse than any knockouts weve experienced
To our understanding, it won't be the same going from a blitzing player to a coverage player. According to their blog notes, this is a different mechanic. The switch stick is only used for coverage to coverage players.
@@HuddleGG Bro I havent touched Madden in so long but I remember the feature in the game. Also NCAA had it too. I’m almost 30 I was lucky to play through the golden age lol.
BS. They’ve always had this. When you push x to switch players, it always gives u the player closest to the ball. Do they really think us older gamers aren’t aware of things like this? There is still no way to know exactly who u are switching to, tho.
This is what this for... Ball is snapped, you're in coverage MLB. And u notice (midplay) that all WR's are going way out of your coverage. *flick stick up* U are now the FS. QB scrambles? *flick stick down* (maybe twice) U are now back at LB
@@HuddleGG no the difference here is college football’s ratings reflect differently than Madden. Everybody’s pretty much running the same pace regardless in college football it’s never been like that.
This is good for me because I user the safety so anything across the middle I got it’s the corner and out routes it hard to click on and get a pick in madden but we’ll see
That's not true, you've never had access during a play to switch to any coverage defender you want. If your opponent was rolling out to the right, you could not switch your user to the LoS corner before the ball was thrown for example.
I'm pretty sure they said you can only use it before the qb throws the ball, after that right stick goes back to hit stick. A lot of people think they are going to be able to switch using this while the ball is in the air and that's not the case.
B/O switches to players closest to the ball. The switch stick will allow you to move your user to any coverage defender on the field before the ball is thrown. Much different mechanic.
@nopanic3186 yeah, don't get me wrong it's still cool in a case if you see a wr breaking free but have a safety in the vicinity you can switch to quick and try to take him away. Most switching will more than likely be done once the ball is thrown and that is done using O/B like it's always been.
@@HuddleGG it literally says on the pre order for the game July 15th at 4pm est. so idk lol I’m just going by what it says. Good video by the way I wasn’t trying to be a jerk
Yeah try this shit online and you’re getting burnt!! When you switch you better hope you already know which direction the corner needs to run. 1 step in this game and it’s a house call
You could already do this is you pointed the right stick to where you wanted to switch and hit B. This is just a simplified version. It’s not revolutionary
@@kiroselmysterio1239 bro zip it 🤫. You spewing out a bunch of made up bs. Stay quiet. I’ve been playing both these games forever and everytime you switch they will switch you to the defender closet to the ball carrier and that was always the qb. So guess what……. You always got switched to the lineman
@@HayhoeHayhoe You are really excited about being wrong. We do not make videos that would mislead people. This is a new mechanic in the game and hopefully you will get the game in a couple of weeks to understand the differences better.
I haven’t seen any confirmation of of that yet, but based on the way that I’ve heard that developers talk about it. I’m assuming that you could absolutely still press the old button. I could be wrong, but I doubt that they’re going to remove the option to press the old button. either way either way just one of those mechanics that might take a little bit to get used to similar to all the momentum stuff and madden and the passing controls they have
You can still switch players with B/O but that doesn't give you the direct switch that the switch stick is going to give. Typically the B/O button will just switch you to the closer defender to the ball.
Sooo is hit sticking gonna be done with the same stick? If so I don’t see that going too well… So I looked it up anyone wondering after the ball carrier passes the line of scrimmage or the qb passes the ball it goes back to hit stick and you can’t use it to switch anymore. I don’t know if I really like that for the passing part mostly. What if my cb gets beat and I try to use the right stick to quick switch right to safety? Im just gonna end up looking stupid hit-sticking my ghosts 😂
It's definitely interesting to see how that will work if you are using the switch stick right as the pass is being thrown! Hopefully there is a small delay that prevents us from hit sticking the wind lol.
@@drmonadenny3321 I did stop playing the game is actual dog shit. For brainless people. They advertised it as a completely different game than madden. They were right but they failed to mention that it’s way worse than madden and has 1/10 of the features of madden 16. The game is a joke, the connection is a joke, the matchmaking is a joke. And the gameplay is a pinball machine. They spent all this time on jersey textures.
It is not in 24. You can switch players but it will switch you to the closest defender to the ball. You don't have the freedom to switch to any coverage defender with the flip of the stick.
It was not. You can push B to switch players but it switches you to the closest player to the ball most of the time and doesn't give you the freedom to switch to any coverage defender on the field.

the counter to this is that now pump fakes are actually useful, since when you fake, the meter appears over the receiver you faked to for a split second. if you catch your defender being over aggressive, you can punish him easily
Absolutely! Great callout. Pump fakes may be much more effective than they have been in any recent football game.
You have no time to pump fake
How to pumpfake?
@@Trey2626sometimes, the qbs in cfb25 break a fair amount of sacks and can create some space. Tackling definitely needs to be worked a bit
@@Wockaapress receiver button twice
This actually helps the offense as well. A play fake or pump fake can actually work now to disrupt the user.
Definitely!
Good the football games over the years have usually benefited the offense more

All you do for switch stick in normal madden is press circle and move the analog stick in the direction😭
