What is skill-based passing in Madden 24?

Skill-based passing is a feature that can improve the accuracy of throws in Madden 24.

Instead of just pressing a button, the feature makes passing more accurate by taking the player’s gameplay reactions into account. You can adjust the direction, targeted area, and even the momentum of a pass with skill-based passing.

As well as increasing your accuracy, you’ll also have more overall control over the ball carrier, and the AI will act more lifelike in response. You can also modify a pass that’s already been thrown to ensure it can still be caught with a dive pass even if the initial throw wasn’t accurate.
