Sega Sports Tip – Maximum Passing
With Maximum Passing enabled (Press the A Button on the Team Select or Choose Sides screens), you
can lead your receiver in any direction using the D-Pad or Left Thumbstick. For example, if you want to
throw the ball in front of a receiver running toward the left side of the screen, simply hold left while passing.
Be careful, Maximum Passing is pressure sensitive, and takes a little bit of getting used to. Try using
Practice mode to get more comfortable with it before jumping into a regular game situation, and experiment
with switching control to the receiver immediately after the pass is released, then using speed burst to catch
up to the ball.
