Xbox version, by the way.

Right, so the other team have kicked off, or whatever it's called, and my bloke has caught it.

How the hell do I pass the ball to someone else?

All I seem to be able to do is run around until I'm taken down. Then I select play or whatever it's called, can throw to set people with the A X B L and R buttons, but then I can't seem to passs it again, so I run around til I'm taken down again, and so it continues.

Is it me being thick, or are those actually the rules?

I've got it to review you see, and I have no idea what the rules are.

Now I know what I know, it makes a lot more sense, thanks!

Looks like someone doesn't know the rules of the game :-D


While it is allowed to be able to pass the ball more than once on the play it rarely ever happens as doing so increases the chances of a turnover. It does happen sometimes but only when a team is far in the lead (anyone who watches the All Sports Show will have seen a few plays like that) so more often than not you will only get the one pass to a reciever who'll then try and take it for extra yardage before getting taken down.

Far as the kickoff goes there's usually only one guy left in the backfield so there isn't anyone to pass to even if he wanted to, so it's up to him to get as much yards as possible so the offence has the best starting position on the field.

No, you can play until tackled and even then you can only pass at the start of play with the QB depending on the play you pick.

Don't tell me you bought it thinking it was like Rugby?!
