How to Execute a Touch Pass in Madden NFL 25

Touch Pass Controls in Madden NFL 25

First and foremost, you need to understand what a touch pass is all about in order to know when and where to use it. There are three types of passes in Madden NFL 25:

  • The Touch Pass is a medium-strength throw that can be used for varying situations, meaning you will utilize it the most.
  • The Lob Pass is the slowest in the game. It is used for back-shoulder passes and fades.
  • The Bullet Pass is a fast throw that is used for over-the-middle routes and slants.

Now that you know about the different passes in Madden NFL 25 and what the touch pass is all about, here is how to execute it:

  1. Get the ball to your quarterback and choose a receiver.
  2. Press the receiver button. Don’t press the button for too long or tap it quickly. Holding the button for too long will execute a bullet pass, and tapping it quickly will execute a lob pass.
  3. If you timed it right, your pass will look similar to a bullet pass, but it will have a slight arch.

Here is how to execute a touch pass across the different platforms:

  • Press Space to Snap, Space to Hike, and F when the ball is thrown to execute a touch pass on PC.
  • Press A to Snap, A to Hike, and B when the ball is thrown to execute a touch pass on Xbox.
  • Press X to Snap, X to Hike, and O when the ball is thrown to execute a touch pass on PlayStation.
