same time, so you will want to designate who the play-caller will be.
If you have VMU Play Calling activated, both players can cycle through the
plays on the VMU. However, only the player who is plugged into the priority controller port will be able to view the plays on the VMU screen

MAXIMUM PASSING
If you want total control over your offensive results, turn on
Maximum Passing from the Controller Assignment Screen (se
page 21). With Maximum Passing activated, you can lead your
receivers to thread the ball in front of, behind and around the d
ers. To use Maximum Passing, press the Analog Stick in the dir

increase your chances of successfully catching the ball.
Coach’s Corner: Throwing on the run
Sometimes the defense will bite on a QB scramble and the
cornerbacks will come up to try and tackle him. But as
long as you are behind the line of scrimmage, you can still
pass the ball. So, if you see a cornerback leave his receiver, let go of the R Trigger and pass the ball.
Coach’s Corner: Passing
With Maximum Passing you've got total control over getting the ball into the receive
hands. Tapping the pass button lobs the ball to the receiver – that’s good for letting
receiver run underneath it, but gives time for the defenders to close on the ball.
Holding the pass button down longer (making sure to release it before the ball leave
the quarterback’s hand) will result in a normal throw. Finally, holding down the butto
past the ball’s release will result in a bullet pass - great for when you have to get it
the receiver quickly.
