If you want total control over your offensive results,
turn on Maximum Passing from the Controller
Assignment Screen (see page 17). With Maximum
Passing activated, you can lead your receivers to
thread the ball in front of, behind, and around the
defenders. To use Maximum Passing, press the
Analog Stick in the direction in which you want
to adjust the throw. Press a little for a small
adjustment; press harder for a bigger adjustment.
For example, to lead the receiver, press Up on the Analog Stick.
To throw behind and to the left of a receiver, press Down and Left.
