User Pass Defense Not Working As Intended
I feel like the title is self explanatory. It's so broken it's almost not worth playing. DB's do not react as they should, and do not attack the ball the way they should. They are nearly oblivious to...

A couple of things that I found for you that have helped me clean it up:
- Instead of just tapping Circle, try flicking the right stick toward the DB you want to control as the ball is in the air. It gives you a lot more control over who you switch to, especially in those split-second moments.
- Also, make sure Defensive Ball Hawk and Defensive Switch Assist are both turned ON in your settings. That helps with smoother transitions and better positioning when you switch.
- Once you’re on the DB, use L2 to strafe and Triangle to play the ball if you’re in a good position. If you’re trailing a bit, X to play the receiver can save you from getting burned.
- In terms of timing, as soon as you read the throw, flick the stick toward the corner, hold L2 to settle your movement, and go for the ball.
I also ran a few reps in Practice Mode to get the feel down, as it made a big difference since I hadn't played in a while.
Hope that helps. The default switching can definitely mess you up sometimes. I have it noted down to pass along in case anyone else runs into this issue.
Switch stick is something I'm still trying to get into the habit of using myself. My problem with it though, comes when I'm Usering DL and trying to use a pass rush move and it switches me. I wish we could possibly get L2/LT involved with that switch transition so it's not switching on accident.
