A lob pass is an aerial throw for a receiver who is behind his or her opponents. It’s slower than a bullet pass, providing the receiver ample time to get away from the blocks and retrieve the ball a few yards distant. Yet, with Madden 23’s Season 3 and the new Skill-Based Passing, how should players throw a lob pass? This comprehensive guide contains the solution.
In Madden 23, how do you throw a lob pass?
Throwing lob passes in Madden 23 is simple. Tap the farthest receiver’s button without aiming when in the passing pocket. Above each receiver’s head is a button with a specific function. Touch that button once to send the ball to that specific player.
When the receiver is behind the opponent’s defense line, a lob pass is advantageous. Yet, because the ball lands a few yards distant from the receiver, the possibility of interception increases.
Techniques for Making Accurate Lob Passes
The finest lob throws aren’t simply thrown by the top quarterbacks. Every Madden 23 player can perfect passing with the following great advice.
- Don’t back up before the lob pass. Hold your position in the passing pocket and throw the ball while standing stationary. While drifting back, lob passing reduces accuracy.
- Before attempting a lob pass, block. At least one blocker should be present to assist the quarterback. He won’t have enough time to readjust, identify the receiver, and throw the ball if he doesn’t.
- Do not hold down the pass button. When you press and release the receiver’s button, you perform a touch pass, not a lob pass. Tap the button fast for a long, high-arching toss.
The Perfect Situation for Lob Passing
With the most recent Madden 23 upgrades, gamers may now alter the throwing setting to suit lob passing. To have better control over your throws:
- Passing Type should be changed to Placement.
- Set the Max Distance of the Free-Form Reticle to Far.
- Maintain Reticle and Meter visibility.
The Distinction Between a Lob, a High, and a Free-Form Pass
A lob pass is slower than a high pass in Madden NFL 23. It’s usually a deep pass, which allows the receiver extra time to adjust and catch. A free-form pass, on the other hand, is quite different. It is a short or high-arced pass into an open region a few yards distant from the recipient.
In terms of controls, players make a lob pass by touching the receiver’s button. And they make it a high pass by doing the same thing while shooting. They must, however, push the left trigger (LT or L2), throw, and lead the ball with the left joystick for a free-form pass.
Madden NFL 23 is currently available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
