Need help: Best way to get the 10 interceptions to complete challenge?

Hi,

Usually I have no issues grinding out all the challenges for the different tasks (Season, Campus Heroes, Game Time...).

Depending on what's needed and where stats count I usually use one of the Training challenges or play Solo Seasons (I don't have access to any of the online games).

Creating fumbles works well but interceptions...nope. Even after adding ST yesterday I didn't manage a single INT all day. I'm stuck at 4/10 atm and 3 of those came out of Solo Season games (Rookie, Arcade). I try to mix up different plays on defense that are popular amongst those who stream their games on Youtube etc.

Defense is 83 OVR and I'm still practicing to master the Switch Stick (not very successful  yet).

Your recommendations are highly appreciated - thank you!

Just play house rules and practice usering, you’ll find plenty of ppl forcing passes over the middle

I don't have access to any of the game modes that required a paid subscription.

If you’re stuck with only challenges, play challenges where you have an Easy mode, you’re on defense, you have the lead, and the game starts in the fourth quarter. Avoid calling blitzes, and adjust coverage underneath.

The picks don’t come easy this year.

take a look at this:

at the comment section there I found a helpful tip written by adeleon916:

"or you can play the last training camp mission for easy interceptions. its 4th q and they need a td forcing the pass. intercept then punt and repeat. you dont have to pass the challenge for the stats to count. you just can't restart it. i get 2-3 every time. user manning the cbs seem to bait the AI to challenge the dbs. if your line is too good then go dollar and set to contain"

I tried this cause 5 ints needed, was done after 3 or 4 trys...

Edit: I forgot to say, that I play at defence Dime also tried Prevent, both works for me

Edit #2: my defensive is 82  over and this sticky stick shit is still big shit for me 💩😂 that means you will do it easily 🖖

Thank you! Highly appreciated.

Yeah, I still struggle a lot with switching the player with the stick and usually it's a TD for the opponent as my defender fell to the ground or didn't move after I switched. ;)
I just picked up Madden 25 after a hiatus of 16 years. A lot of stuff is familiar and there is a lot of new stuff. I have been playing since it's very first version on the Apple II but it really started to become serious when it was released on the Sega Mega Drive.

I did play Madden Mobile but abandoned that too roughly 2 years ago as it had less and less to do with football but more with collecting cards.

Well, of course packs and spending money are a big thing for Madden on all platforms these days but I try to take it casual. I did preorder the College Football & Madden bundle so I spent a few coins extra but none since.

I wish Madden would allow you to compete on a high level by using the running game by it's mostly passing these days (just like in the NFL).

Oh...in the meantime I managed to reel in 2 more INTs but zero in the training missions...LOL. I'm just too clumsy.

Try running dollar or 3-2 dime, cover 2 man blitz. Change the blitzing LB to a mid read, user a DT.

Let the play run while only looking at QB. When the QB starts to throw turn into defender and make the play on the throw.

Anything in arcade mode is best for turnover grinds.

Training camp solos.

The fact that they put interceptions as a random daily objective is so beyond gross

Unfortunately I'm just too stupid. Just tried for another 3 hours with ZERO interceptions.
Most of the time training camp, a few games solo season or battle.

In all these games the QB gave me less than 5 real chances to pick the ball. He scrambles, get sacked or throws it away. Very frustrating especially this means I'll miss out on 12,000 pts for Season 2 and I think every point is crucial if you want to reach Level 50. If'm on Level 17 now but it gets more difficult by the level to reach the next one.

I give up.

Yes, I don't mind grinding and getting fumbles is something that can be achieved.
But INTs not so much especially if you don't have access to the online modes of the game (I really don't wanna shell out another 80 bucks).

I was trying this on CFB last night, not sure how well it work on MUT, but try running a Nickel 3-3 defense and put both DEs in a QB spy so you only have one player rushing the passer. In CUT it gave me 6 picks in 2 games.

Training solos!
