So that HB means that your back is picking up the player if he comes. If it's a Mike and your HB is not picking him up, that means if he comes, he's a free defender. They're using the true meaning of IDing the Mike. a Mike ID in pass pro means that the Oline is not responsible for him if he blitzes so you either assign him to the HB or he's a free defender and the qb has to read that as a hot read.
10:10 great video! When identifying the Mike, it’s more about setting the middle of the defense (vs identifying the best player). Offensive blocking assignments and rules all revolve around this id. Defenses can confuse offenses by overloading one side, through alignment and/or scheme. Identifying the correct mike makes sure the correct assignments and rules are executed on offense
The most irritating aspect of modern games is the lack of instruction manuals. I showed my daughter instruction manuals from my PS1 games, and it was like showing her ancient treasure. It also didn’t help that I had to wipe a layer of dust off of the cases like an Indiana Jones movie 😂.
Options...tap A to hike...tap...not hold. Then, if you decide to keep the ball, HOLD A. Try it...way better and works. Something is wrong with speed options now, the ball gets fumbled a lot now on the pitch.
Yeah the speed options are wonky now. I don’t know what’s going on. That’s what sucks about updates sometimes. They may fix some issues and then create other problems. I was a computer engineer major in a college for a bit and I remember working on programs and fixing issues only to introduce more issues whenever I fixed an issue. It was frustrating! Lol
It is a shame! Like at least give us an optional tutorial mode as soon as you fire up the game the first time and then you can access it later if you skipped it the first time. They used to do stuff like that.
lol! That one was a new one for me as well. I was actually planning out the notes for this video. I was done but then I saw that icon pop up in the game and so I went back to add it for the video.
2:14 oh so the blue routes that HB/TE often run are not simple delay routes it depends on that C checkdown, and what they do? If they blitz they won't actually run the delayed route?
They are still delayed routes, but yes they depend on that checkdown defender and what they do. Yes, if they blitz the HB/TE will block instead. Sometimes though the checkdown defender is so far away from the line of scrimmage that they will still run the route even the checkdown defender is blitzing if that makes sense.
@Azkhalon yes it makes sense just like how your suppose to cheat your user linebacker up close to between the center and guard even if your not blitzing because it'll trick the game's AI into thinking your another blitzed potentially and everyone who is rushing gets more pressure. Basically it emulates confusing the o-line blockers that way. Great content BTW 👌
@@Dave-oz6yt dang it! I knew I was going to miss one, but yeah they refer to the players you should attempt to block with. I think it's like a suggestion of the players who have the best chance of blocking the field goal.
Like I don’t watch their full games, but I’ve been following his performances in online clips and seeing the numbers he’s putting up. I should have clarified that! 😂😂
@ lol understood. Great video tho. Could I do a video on the symbols on the player card page. I have no clue what any of those mean except the star means star player and exclamation ❗️ means captain
They are making these games too complex.. I have never paid attention to any of this stuff since day 1. I dont even use audibles or any of that extra stuff.. Pick a play run it & if it doesnt work try something different. all that other stuff to me is a waste of my time & a headache.
I agree with that to a certain extent. It is too complex especially when they don't explain what a lot of stuff means. For casual players, it is fun to just play the game like you said. For people wanting to take their game to the next level though, understanding a lot of these icons can help with things. I always tell people though, play the game how you want to play. You paid money for it and should enjoy however you want to.

That makes sense why it doesn’t show up every time. Good explanation! Thanks!

Great comment! I’m going to pin this! I meant to explain this like this but I didn’t do as good of a job as your comment! 😎
I honestly had no clue about most of these.
It has taken me a while to figure out what some of them meant, but some of them like the check marks I had to look up myself.
All blitzes with the cover 3 zone behind them are match coverage. It doesn’t say it but it is.
Cool info! Thanks!

Thank you for making this video. Very helpful
You’re welcome!
Super helpful! It’s a shame they don’t include this knowledge in the game smh

@@Azkhalon I guess they figure guy like you will pick up the slack for them….lazy ass devs
@@jleach630 I think that is exactly why they don't include tutorials anymore.

@ I did some practice mode, I did not see the HB icon .. 🤨
@@JohnD15317 It rarely pops up for me. I can only get it to appear after I adjust the O line blocking schemes a few times.
I knew some but i thank you for this

What are the B icons above defenders heads during field goal attempts?
blockers?
@tb6133 only 3?

Is there a way you could list these in the thread? So that we can refer to them again?
I will get that done when I get home today or at some point this weekend! Good suggestion!
Better get a notebook!
