@RunTheGauntletJ I'm an old school Madden player too... Here are some tips if you're on PS5 or XBox...
Check your settings and make sure that the Switch Assist, Ball Hawk, and Defensive Assist are all turned ON. If you turn them off, clicking the O on PS5 or B on XBox might switch you to a player you aren't expecting to control...
If you find that the assists are already ON, then I'd recommend that you consciously take your thumb off the left stick as you "click on" the defender while the ball is in the air. You'll see exactly which defender you've gained control of before making any moves...
Of course, you could turn all the assists OFF, but you run the risk of encountering a situation for which there is no animation your defender can branch into when you press a button and he'll freeze in place instead. The devs call this phenomenon a "catch hole". I haven't had it happen to me yet on Madden NFL 25 though...
As you get a little more comfortable, you can turn the assists off one at a time as you get your bearings.
Hope this helps...
