 You too. What's up guys? I want to bring you guys a tip here that can really kind of take your game to the next level And really show you guys why some of us pros or some of the elite Madden players that you guys watch not only on YouTube But on Twitch Really use this swerve catching and use this tactic to kind of make their offense a little bit more high-powered and have More control over the players. That's one of the biggest Complaints that we've had about Madden in the last couple years. That's very animation based There's not a lot of users skilled to it and honestly This is one of the best things that you know kind of separates a really good player from just an average to above average player And that's being able to use the swerve catch and before we start this. I mean, it's pretty much just about Dictating what animation you want when the ball is in the air you have the ability to get a better animation for your Wide receiver, you know so much of the game whether you play 2k, whether you play whatever it may be Sports games more than any other game out there is animation based which means You know, whichever player gets the better animation if your wide receiver gets the diving catch If your wide receiver gets a certain toe tap if you can get enough space to get a rack egg Animation which people call the rack egg is a rack aggressive catch It's not necessarily an aggressive catch for man 17 But it's one where you get put in the two-player animation where the defender can't do anything because he gets put in that animation That's what I mean about the game being very very animation based and what swerve catching does for you guys Pretty much dictates what animation you're gonna get and for me that there's pretty much two Two of the easiest ways to use this is really either with a rack egg or a possession catch I'll be honest with you the only time I really use aggressive catch the Y button this year is if I throw a bad Read into coverage and just want to try to get a two-man breakup and not throw an interception So most of the two two catch buttons We're gonna use for swerve catching is pretty much just gonna be asked for a rack To run after the catch or we're gonna get a possession catch where we get a toe tap or we'll catch it in front of a player But I'll break down the two different ways that I really like to use this swerve catching And really can bring it take your offense to the next level All right guys the first catch we're gonna talk about is the deep post a deep rack something like that and and the biggest thing With this is you want to change the direction that Tyree kills running when he's going to catch the ball Most of the time it's a cover three bomb And if you're doing this and you hold X you'll run out of space on the sideline there Or you'll have to possession catch it just to keep your feet in and with the one of the ways we use The rack or the swerve is to just position Tyree kill get his shoulders going towards the end zone So we'll click on over here. We'll hold X And kind of just swerve go to the sideline then up the field to kind of get his shoulders Square with the end zone because of his shoulders are square with the end zone when he actually does get this rack egg last second just Put them underneath to the left a little bit then right up field right as you hold X to catch the football It just changes his angle from where he gets to the ball and just allows that rack animation to actually Get him going into the ends on as you saw I did it so much there that I really was not even near the circle But he reached his arms out as we watch this replay He reached his arms out to catch the ball and that kept his shoulders as you seek We click on there and then go back upfield just to get his shoulders going the right way See right there is all you need to see you see his shoulders going towards the sideline You click on them a little bit up the field now the animation is a little bit different That's what I mean about the swerve catch dictates animations Changes what they can do to catch the ball bang now. I'm going upfield It's a lot easier to keep my feet in and be able to run in for the end zone That's one of the ways I love to use the deep post play or the rack catch on the deep post play Just to make sure I score touchdowns because even though that's a big play He's probably want to be open if you have to possession catch that if you're getting to the 10 yard line That's the hardest place to score. I'm sure another one that we use or I use say we run out here We're in traffic, but oh they leave Tyree co wide open and I Want to show you guys as if I said though the same deep post man But we're just gonna throw some homes really just doesn't get enough on it, right? But we're gonna slow my player down and come back to the ball and get it Because if I would have just said this is if he's wide open Obviously, there's a DB he's not gonna be around there But if he's wide open you get a pass kind of under thrown although it's hard for my homes to under throw as you see He's like ridiculous even that one But you still want your receiver catching the ball with momentum if you let the receiver stop He's not gonna score a touchdown. He's gonna let DB's catch up to him. He's gonna get tackled. He's gonna get hit sticked like there You want him to catch it on momentum Or with momentum so he runs into the end zone It's kind of crazy that really wasn't even swear if you almost want to pull him away from the circle And then let him catch it pretty much in stride And it's just a timing thing almost like catching a punt or catching a kickoff Just something you need to practice and this is one thing that people don't utilize enough is practice mode Offense only as you see I don't know ball now I'm gonna I'm gonna move him back this the circles probably around where the 20 yard line is moving back almost Stray fim out of the play and then when it's timing when it's time to get the football We'll run back to the circle and hold X that way you see how he catches the ball Had I had he been wide open I do him the ball right now He would have just stood there and caught it and been able to get get tackled But if you click on back him up and then attack the ball with momentum You'll be able to score a lot more touchdowns on under though passes recognizing something deep down the field It's just a great way to give your wide receiver the right momentum Another way I love to use the swear of catch man is possession catches on the sideline You know, I mean you guys can play man for how many months with six seven months now The sideline is tough to get stops if you can get catches on the sideline I mean you're gonna get that animation and they're not gonna be able to hit the wide receiver They're not gonna be able to knock the ball loose as long as you get your toe tap animation And we're gonna use this play why out which is five probably my favorite playing mad in the last three years And I'm just show you guys what the difference is sometimes with some of these animations Essentially what with the right with a possession catch animation What you want is you want your receiver going as sideways as I want to say as Perpendicular to the to the sideline as pop as possible because then he'll literally his body won't lunge towards defenders It will lunge out of bounds and it's impossible to hit the receiver unless they're lunging directly at you So essentially what we want to do is is we want to click on and kind of just how I wanted my shoulders Squared up to the end zone for the touchdown I want my shoulders squared up to the sideline because if I can attack that sideline perpendicularly I mean, I guess yeah, I said that right then I'm going to although It's almost like an out route like if I throw this and don't click on he's going to catch it Maybe on a 45 degree angle and then maybe a safety will be able to hit them A safety will be able to come back and make a play But if you're able to you know, just twist your shoulders that much more It's going to change the animation as I show you guys. Let's just see exactly where I caught that ball, too What yard line see if it's that big of a difference we start over here probably at the 32 yard line and we caught this ball Essentially at what is this the fifth or the fourth Jesus The opponent's 43 now, let's just throw it. We'll pass lead and we'll just let the computer possession catch Similar spot really I think but I feel like it's not as clean as an animation The other one was at like the 43 Yeah, same spot, but I just don't think it's as clean as an animation as the one I got He's not lunging out of bounds. He's probably still standing there although it also be tough to hit that animation I always like the animations Where I'm falling out of bounds my toes are tapped and I'm falling out of bounds That's what I mean about dictating the animations and why we use this catch man And I said it's something you really got to practice as you see soon as I throw the ball I'm clicking on so it's a Y be Now I'm gonna get my angle I'm gonna attack upfield and be able to kind of almost like a comeback route go back and they tell the football players Man attack the football That's what you're gonna do now attack it and you're almost catching this like an you run like a mini out route at The top of your corner route able to get that animation Boom right down out of bounds. You're not knocking that ball loose And that's just a great way you're able to you know Use your stick work to make sure your receiver gets the animation that you want the last way I'll show you guys really to use this catch is essentially the wheel routing verticals This is where it kind of started this year to get a little boost when you throw this wheel route to Tyree kill here And just be able to run a little bit more Just get the right angle and essentially if there's cover two I'll show you guys if it's covered to you want to be running away from the safety So the safety is in the middle of the field So I'll show I will just we'll just act like there's gonna be a safety kind of cover to safety Which obviously this is the best play for that you want to come inside and then catch it running outside You see because then it goes essentially just to what I talked about with the shoulders If you catch the ball going a certain way, you'll get that momentum and in this instance We'll do it essentially like like there's a safety there that we have to run away from we'll cut in and cut back out And look at where my momentum is taking me to the sideline Essentially away from where the safety would be maybe the 20 yard line or something and we'll use Tyree's hill speed To outflank them to the corner the end zone, you know When I when I do the ball he was here now they use this red line you guys think this red What's this red line? They really use this red line in real football practices So why receivers don't go outside of this red line because what you want in real football is this red line is when you're running A vertical route is you want space to the sideline for the quarterback to throw the ball on the sideline and you be able to like Box out the defender and that's essentially what we're doing here. So, you know, we'll box out. We'll create that space You know, we just swerve back inside to create You know, what's that 10 yards or 8 yards for me to the sideline and then eat up that space by going back and catching the ball with Momentum towards the sideline to outflank the safety. So that's just using the stick control and using, you know, just Leverage and just space on the field to do that. Now the other way we can do this on a wheel route is we can lead it outside and essentially Do what I said with the possession catch This is the number one thing With possession catch where you notice a difference that's how much swerved like it's pretty much the same thing But I got that shoulders perpendicular to the line of scrimmage to get, you know, the right possession catch that I wanted That one wasn't as good Now we'll keep doing this emotion. I really didn't have the space to really do what I wanted there That's why, you know, I didn't motion them out the first time That one was almost super drastic Came back inside got a possession catch because I'll show you guys if you throw this You know and just go for a possession catch You know that that's gonna get Tyree kill hurt, you know, he's gonna get hurt in your CFM He's gonna get hurt in your regular game against Larry down the street He's gonna get hurt, you know, and that those head up straight to the end zone possession catches Pretty much. I want to tell you guys are like the only one Like that can get hit can get absolutely hit stick. There's such a huge difference I'll show you that replay of that animation compared to the one where I clicked on and actually tried to get him to fall out of bounds Just I didn't click on it all here I just held a and he's straight up and down and Whatever safety you guys play with on mutt on regs. Anybody is gonna clobber him and he's gonna drop that pass I was it like it's just the biggest difference in animations and and it's something that you can control And that's why we all try to do it, you know in certain We call the out route here But the same thing really you can really pretty much do the same thing on any route It just takes a lot of practice, but I'll throw this wheel route again Pass lead to the right click on go right Come back get that knee and bounds out of bounds. He's not getting hit sticked on that one There's no chance of him getting hit sticked when you're able to do this swear of catch and And get the right animation that you want. I love that one by accident But if you're able to get this animation that you want you're able to get way more yards as we door the ball to Watkins You're able to get way more yards and avoid those hits that will make a receipt on door to Watkins again and will make Your receiver not get his sticked and pick up these big plays Here we go pass lead outside. We're gonna go in left back. I'll right toe tap out of bounds huge difference Just just a little bit like that to be able to Get that 40-yard gain and not have the Shawn Taylor's the Pat Tillman's and everybody else Knocking your face off. So those are the ways that I really like to use this word catch, man Like I said, this is probably underutilized. I want to know if you guys ever use Offense only I think it's it's a super Underutilized aspect of man is something that back in man. Oh wait, man Oh nine when I first started really becoming competitive in men Something I use a lot to learn different rocket catches that learn different pass leads learn what I could do with my players Now it's more of a running with the ball Stopping goes spin moves whatever you want to do without having to worry about getting block-shed without having to worry about defense Just go practice some things get your stick work down a lot of this stuff is timing once it becomes second nature It becomes timing to you and you don't even really have to look at the screen and you're just doing it naturally It's not something you have to try it just happens every single play. So try to add this to your game If you're not doing it I mean it's something that can really improve your offense man It helped you get those tough catches over the middle those tough catches on the sideline those tough catches that are those bombs that That would be you know stopped at the 8-yard line now. You're scoring touchdowns on those plays And it's just really a way to open up your big plays down the field for your offense So please hit that like button if you like more videos like this little little tips and tricks show you guys Please let me know below man. I'm trying to come up with some new content for you guys That's original and that you guys can enjoy to become better man players because I feel like the better you get it Man the more you'll enjoy it and I hope all you guys can one day enjoy it as much as I do
