Whether you are a new game player or an experienced player, I believe this article will help you.

1. Offense Controls 

Ball in the Air Offense Controls

Preplay Offense Controls

Special Teams Offense Controls

2. Defense Controls

Ball in Air Defense Controls

As mentioned above, the defensive style of play when the ball is in the air has not changed in the inside passes brought about a few seasons ago. For new players, it is safer to defend on the melee line. However, for those who find themselves in control of the player in the backcourt, holding the triangle/Y will not only serve as an interception attempt, but it may also be an incomplete player that requires your player to be unable to choose to pass the ball.

Defensive Pursuit Controls

Open-field defending has been chiefly unchanged from Madden 20, where the safe bet one-on-one uses the breakdown tackle.

Preplay Defense Controls

Defensive Engaged Controls 

In Early Access, swimming seems to be very effective. The defensive line was rewritten in Madden 22. Defeating the offensive linebacker through engagement depends on you using the correct simulation skills. For the new pass sprint control, flicking on the right side of the simulation and swimming by moving the joystick laterally is the key. Still, your stinginess is crucial: too many correct attempts will drain your stamina, so use it in moderation.

Special Teams Defense Controls

Now that you know all the controls of Madden 22, it's time to hit the grill and dominate your Madden NFL 22 opponent.

Defensive Coverage Controls

It is strongly recommended that you control linebackers or lightning players on the defensive end for new players.

3. Running Controls

Running Controls

Note that for the ball, the change was made using the L2/LT button. Used as a precision modifier in the previous version, it is now a taunt/celebrate control. So, make sure you don't use it when trying to beat defenders this year; otherwise, you will spin the ball again and again by fumbling.

4. Pass Rush Controls

Passing Controls

5. Catch Controls

Catching Controls

The control of passing and receiving remains essentially unchanged from previous versions of the game. Learning advanced pass and catch control may seem subtle, but doing so can lead to devastating results.

How to fair catch in Madden 21

To catch the ball somewhat, all you need to do is press O/B to switch to the target receiver, and then press triangle/Y after the opponent kicks out of the air melee, and the camera switches to your receiver.

Player Locked Receiver Controls

Although these controls will be most useful when switching to a wide receiver in Madden 22 Face of the Franchise, improving these skills in practice mode may be worthwhile. Click here to make the franchise model better and more authentic in Madden 22.

6. Intercept Controls

Blocking Controls
