Himarra said:Yes. But my player literally jumps up and either drops it or catches it gets touched and the ball is loose. So annoying
So when the ball is in the air, click on to the Returner and then run away from the kick towards the circle where it's landing. I haven't dropped an onside kick since like November, it's just free field position
Himarra said:How do you mitigate bums from abusing this? I’ve tried all the different recovery formations and its still my player doing a jump ball then dropping it. I’ve tried usering the player and it hasn’t worked either. I have my top WR in there and he’s a 94-95 overall. Not sure what I’m supposed to do, if anyone knows some tips please drop some info
Personally I find it an advantage to not even chose the onside formation
I swap onto the TE who is on the far end (94 ovr Jordan Reed for me) and just user jump at it
I've even gotten an onside kick return from doing this
Ever since doing this I have never lost an onside
Don’t touch it until it hits 10 yards
I wish I had clips of the nonsense I’ve been dealing with lately. Had one last night where the ball basically dribbled 15 yards and my players refused to go towards it. another lost possession. Playing in MVP and legend divisions are Super annoying
I haven’t seen anyone else post this kind of strategy in response to onside kicks, but what I’ve done for years is this: put your user on one of the players on the front line where the general direction of the kick will go, and then after the kick I spam Circle (PS5) while holding my stick left. What that does is it shakes your hands team players out of the auto-trance they seem to go into, and also nudges them into blocking/disrupting the kick team’s players more. Do this until one of your players gets his hands on the ball and then hold cover ball. This has worked for me about 99 percent of the time.
No just a terrible strategy for piss poor players.

I come out in regula return formation and used the TE that is on the side of the inside kick and he normally catches it
Speaking of onside kick glitches, how about the fact that when you press the buttons to audible, they have literally done nothing for the past like 3-4 years of madden. It's ridiculous you cant audible recovery formation

You can't audible on kickoff returns because it's not possible IRL. lol
Teams don't even have to declare that they're doing an onside kick in real life anyway so be glad they didn't keep that aspect true to life.
Be patient homie. What's your rush to choose a play on a return? Lol

Oh for fucks sake. Every iteration in past maddens had allowed for it. Dont bring up the audible options for us if they dont want it to be a thing. Teams cant do it IRL??? WHAT on earth about this mess of a game is real life like? If i press A and select a regular kickoff return, and the he comes out in an outside kick, theres no reason you shouldnt be allowed to audible (if you can get those buttons off before they press the button to kick it)

Here's a fucking wild idea...
Wait until the kicking team chooses their play.
Most of the time peiole don’t even kick it far enough to get 10 years honestly

Here's an idea, dont bring up the options to audible if its not meant to even be a thing.
Have a functioning game. Did you play madden before the last like 3 years?

I probably started playing madden before you were born based on how much you're crying right now. My first madden had Eddie George on the cover.
Answer an honest question though, is it really that hard for you to just wait a few seconds before choosing your return play? You have tiktok brain buddy.

I like how youre just deflecting, and literally ignoring the fact their game doesnt work correctly. If you've played madden that long, you'd remember it actually used to function as it should.
To answer your question, in theory, no. But in actuality, plenty of people have that muscle memory down and just press X/A. Do you ever call the wrong play on offense or defense, and then want to switch to something else? Same concept here
