Controls question....

When I'm throwing the ball, if I press up onthe right stick as I throw , or pull down on the right stick as I throw , what does it do to the throw ?

I don't think the right stick does anything, but the left stick controls the direction of the throw. That is, if you have a QB accurate enough to throw in certain directions.

Yeah whoops I meant the left stick.....so I know moving it left or right does something, but I wondered if up or down while throwing did anything to the throw.

I would suggest practice mode for you, my friend.......then you can see for yourself.

If you hold it up and throw, your QB will throw it farther than usual allowing your receivers to run under the ball and if u push it down it will underthrow it

Re: Controls question....

Depends on the route a bit. In general, up on the stick will throw the ball further upfield of the receiver than intended, down on the stick will throw the ball shorter of the receiver than intended, left and right will change the throw in either lateral direction appropriately.

For example: if one is throwing a flag route to a receiver who started on the left side of the formation, moving the stick left will lead that receiver further towards the sideline, while moving the stick up will lead that receiver further downfield. Another example: on a curl route to the right side flanker, moving the stick up will throw the ball high so that the receiver must jump to get it, moving the stick down will throw the ball low so that the receiver must duck down or dive to get it, and moving the stick laterally will lead the receiver in that direction, so that he may come back to the ball with space to operate once he catches it assuming he's been led to an open space.

If you throw it, and then push the left stick to, say, the left, the ball will head towards the left more.
