In this guide, we’ll explore all of the pass types in Madden NFL 26 and how you can use them in a game for great results.
Passing is the most basic aspect of the gameplay that you’ll need to master in Madden NFL 26. While understanding and utilizing the pass controls may be easier for returning players, new players might struggle to pass the ball right. Before you can master passing, you need to know just how many pass types the game supports.
So, in this guide, we’ll explore the different pass types in Madden NFL 26 and how you can execute each one. We’ll also talk about the scenarios where each type of pass makes sense.
All Pass Types in Madden NFL 26
Primarily, your players will rely on three types of passing in most cases, which include the Standard/Touch Pass, Lob Pass and Bullet Pass. Apart from these, two other forms of passes exist, namely, High Pass and Low Pass. Lastly, there’s an in-game mechanic that simply allows you to throw the ball away. The following table lists how you can execute each of these passes and the scenarios where the passes make sense.
| Pass Type | How To Execute | When To Use |
|---|---|---|
| Touch Pass | Tap and release the button of the receiver you want to throw the ball toward. | The most commonly used pass type in the game, used for most standard scenarios where special strategies are not necessary. |
| Lob Pass | Quickly and repeatedly tap the button of the receiver you want to throw the ball toward. | Use this whenever you want to bypass a defender standing in between you and the receiver and throw the ball over the defender’s head. This type of pass is slower but accurate. |
| Bullet Pass | Press and hold the button of the receiver you want to throw the ball toward. | Swifter and flatter passes to a receiver standing at a longer distance. These types of passes tend to be less accurate. |
| High Pass | Hold down LB/L1 to execute a High Pass. | Use this when passing to a taller player who’s being guarded by a shorter defender. The receiver can jump and utilize their height to grab the ball. |
| Low Pass | Hold down LT/L2 to execute a Low Pass. | If your chosen receiver is of a small stature and they can quickly grab the low ball, use this move. |
| Throw the ball away | Press R3 | If there are no scrambling lanes for your QB and no defenders nearby, using the throw-away pass makes sense. |
