SEGA SPORTS TIP:
If you do not take control of a player (either by pressing the Analog Pad or an action

command until the play ends, or until you press the B Button to assume control of another player.

Maximum Passing
For the ultimate in passing control, select Maximum Passing from the Controller Assign screen (see page 15)
before starting a game. With Maximum Passing activated, you can adjust your QB’s throws on the fly to lead
your receivers, throw behind your receivers – anything to help get the ball past the defense. To use Maximum
Passing, press the Analog Pad in the direction in which you want to modify the throw; press a little to modify a
little bit, press harder for a bigger adjustment. For example, to lead the receiver, press UP on the Analog Pad.
To throw behind and to the left of the receiver, press DOWN and LEFT.
Remember, to scramble and move your QB away from defensive pressure, you need to hold down the R Trigger
and then move the Analog Pad to move the QB. Once you escape the pressure, release the R Trigger and then
use the Analog Pad for Maximum Passing control.
