The NFL season is just around the corner, and the sport is becoming increasingly popular outside the United States. Germany is now THE American football stronghold just behind the United States. No wonder the Madden NFL coins series is finding more and more fans with the sport itself.
Similar to on-field, American football is a complex sport with myriad tactical subtleties on the console. Just the many playbooks with hundreds of moves each – you need peace and a cool head to get started. Before any moves are taken apart, we therefore dedicate ourselves to the absolute basics. Even with the simplest actions, beginners can quickly overlook the subtleties.
The Offense and Defense
Basically, the game experience in Madden NFL 21 coins is divided into two parts – the defense and the offense. As in the NFL, there are different teams with completely different goals on the pitch. In the following beginner\'s guide, we focus on the offense and the paths to the touchdown. Basically, there are two types of offensive moves – run and pass. According to English terms, you try to carry the ball either with the running backs or the quarterback himself far enough (\"run\") or usually throw it at one of the wide receivers (\"pass\").
Pass Turn: Throw
If you decide to play a pass, you\'ll have to start the throw after the center\'s snap (the start of each turn where you\'re pushing \"X\" or \"A\" to the quarterback). Button icons now appear above the heads of the various allusion stations – press them, throw them to the respective player. There are basically three different types of passports with their respective advantages and disadvantages.
Bullet Pass – Bullet Pass is the fastest pass variant. If you hold down the target player\'s button, you use this straight, direct throw. However, if there is no opponent in the way, if there is no opponent in the way, if there is an opponent between you and your target, the Bullet Pass can be easily intercepted.
Lob Pass – Just press the target button and let it go right away, you start a lob pass. With such an arc lamp, you throw the ball higher in the air and it then falls down on your target. This pass takes longer, but you can overturn your opponent\'s defense.
Touch Pass – For the touch pass, you briefly press the target button of the desired pass receiver twice in a row. This throw is the middle between Bullet and Lob Pass, where you throw the ball with some effet. Use this type of pass best when there are both in front and behind your target enemy players and you need to hit an exact window.
Each of these throws can be executed high (L1 or LT) or deep (L2 or LB). Especially the deep balls can be intercepted much harder by your opponents – but it is also more difficult for your own receivers to get the ball. Even with the targeted insertion of the three types of throwing, you should be able to overturn the defense in many cases.
Pass Turn: Catch
But throwing also involves catching. Basically, the player automatically catches the ball you throw at him – but you can choose between different types of catching.
Possession Catch – The safest way to catch a ball is the Possession Catch. If you press the X or A button shortly after the ball leaves the quarterback\'s hand, the receiver shields the ball with his body and throws himself protectively on the ground. You can\'t keep running like that, but you\'re sure to have the ball. Use this catch to get a first down or a touchdown.
Run After Catch (RAC) — The opposite of a Possession Catch is the RAC (square or X key). The player catches the ball in the running and can then make up for more yards. Use this way to catch especially when your recipient is very free. If such a throw succeeds, it is the best way to get a touchdown.
Aggressive Catch - Press your triangle on the PlayStation 4 or Y button on the Xbox One controller, you\'ll start an aggressive catch. Here you try to fish the ball especially high, usually with one hand, from the air. This variant is even more uncertain than the RAC, but protects against interceptions
