Free-form Bug
I've discovered a bug in the passing mechanics where the reticle snaps back into the circle after releasing the pass lead during free-form passing, specifically on large pass settings. This causes incorrect pass leading and potential interceptions when wide receivers aren't open.
This issue was present in College Football 25 and persists in both College Football 26 and Madden 26, despite being fixed previously before Madden 25's release. While I'm unsure if it affects small or medium pass settings, it significantly impacts large settings.
I understand few players use max free-form settings, which might mean EA won't prioritize fixing this. As someone who has spent three years mastering skill-based passing, I'm committed to this method and believe it's one of Madden's most innovative features.
For those using the Run N Shoot Playbook, this passing technique is crucial for making the playbook competitive. I'm reaching out to the community to spread awareness and potentially get EA's attention.
If anyone else has experienced this issue, please share and help bring it to light.
