Kicking
To kick a punt or field goal, select the appropriate offensive formation from the Play Calling screen by choosing SP TEAMS. Press /➡ from this formation to choose a kicking play.
Passing Icons
Passing icons are shown on the field to help locate your receivers. They are identical to and correspond with the button symbols on your controller. When the ball is snapped and the quarterback drops back to throw, button symbols will appear above each receiver.
As your receivers run their routes, you will be able to see those that are open or breaking away from defensive coverage. Before the play starts, locate the passing icons by pressing L1/R1 to draw back the camera and view the entire field. Each eligible receiver will be shown with a passing icon, including running backs that are often used as eligible receivers.
Max Pass Protection
For pass plays, using Max Pass Protection will force running backs designated for pass routes to stay in the backfield and block for the quarterback. Adding an additional blocker to the play will give your quarterback more time to find an open receiver.
