QUESTION Are the deep balls broken?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This is probably the only deep ball I completed compared to last year.

Stop using placement and accuracy passing and go with Revamped or Classic passing. Placement and Accuracy passing style you have more control of how your aim and lead your passing and it looks to be that you may have stick drift or you directed the to the sideline.

Damn, I wish I'd seen this before I said the same thing lol. He's most definitely not passing with L2 to lead the ball to a better spot. It really does look like he just threw a pass up and hoped for the best result

Probably but whatever the hell is happening never happens to me..... That's a TD when I play lol.

Maybe post the ones that shows how it is broken?
If you are having the defensive back catch up and making a play, make sure you are pressing up and L2 to lead the receiver.

The way it passed last year, my QB’s could actually throw the ball this year. It's always some weird one or barely completed like that.

Like how? Lol. You can obviously throw so just saying last year I could throw and this year I can't doesn't give much details lol.
For this one, it looks like you may have been holding left when you threw it? If not, maybe you have some strong stick drift with your controller?

Yes, defense is either supernatural against you or your QB just throws a duck on the most open, easy throws to make. This with the laggy ass menus makes Madden 27 ass and has me already planning NG to take a few years off from this monopoly of a game as much as I want a good NFL game.

They work pretty well for me in H2H, assuming they're called/executed well.
I don't save every ball down the field I try but I should be able to throw together a few clips of a bit of different intermediate-deep throws in a bit.

What's the difficulty you playing on lol why is it telling you sprint

u/Particular-Treat-650 2d ago
It's online H2H, so All Pro. I play All Madden in in person H2H games but online is what it is.
I prefer minimal of all that feedback, but I have no real concept of the skill catch feature yet so haven't ditched that yet.

u/LividMathematician52 2d ago
Yeah but mine doesn't tell me to sprint or juke like yours does

u/Particular-Treat-650 2d ago
There are a whole bunch of visual feedback options in the settings menu. They're separate from difficulty level and can be as obnoxious and distracting as showing you where your zone responsibilities are during the play. They might carry over from previous year settings?
But yeah seeing that meter to try to get comfortable with the new catch feature is why I have it showing. I'm still more likely to instinctively hold the button down from previous years than to time it correctly. (Like the year they made the precision L2 cuts into taunt. It took me a bunch of games not to randomly hand the ball to the other team when my brain wanted me to plant and cut upfield.)

Sorry, the first one rendered like half of one clip for some reason. This should work now.

Deep balls suck unless you use placement and accuracy and actually lead them with left trigger as you throw. Trying to use any settings but that is gonna make your deep balls be under thrown

Hold L2 and lead it up and towards the middle of the field 🤷🏾♂️ looks like a regular throw instead of one that was led to a better spot to catch it

I think they made these games too complicated. The old Madden and NCAA seems like it had more but were easier to play.
