Tips on how do you make WR's strafe?

[ghettogeeksta]

I have auto strafe and auto sprint off. But I can never get receivers like Randy Moss and Crabtree to turn around and go for a jump ball, especially when streaks are thrown short. I press the L trigger to attempt to strafe on a short thrown streak, and the recievers dont even turn around/strafe to go for the ball. The only time I can get recievers to go for the ball is when the are in-line with the pass. What am I doing wrong?

im pretty sure if you're playin above all pro you cannot strafe on wide receiver i may be wrong with madden 13

I think the new "Ball Hawk" feature replaces this. I think it is X/A. You hold down on it when the ball is in the air and then press Y/Triangle and your player is supposed to go up for the ball at the highest point.

Thanks, Ill try this out, sounds a little difficult though, you have to hold X or A while the ball is in the air, then quickly press Y when the ball get's near the receiver sounds like a little much. Ill try to find the manual for this game and see how to do it.

Just read up on ball-hawk and it seems like its only for defense. So you tell me if a ball is thrown short, their is no way to make receivers jump up and go for the ball on All-Madden? They are just going to sit their and let it get intercepted and not even attempt of go for the rock!

I press Y and my receiver jumps. Didn't think get rid of the strafe so people couldn't "rocket catch" anymore? I never tried that, so not sure if that's correct or not.

I usually let the CPU strafe for me then i switch and catch it myself. Only other way that i know of is to run in a little circle and then strafe. Once you are facing the ball you can strafe but anything over "Pro" strafe is disabled and i don't know why.
