The touch pass is important to master in Madden 24, so here’s exactly how you can throw the pass in the latest football sim.

Madden 24 features a variety of throws quarterbacks can use during matches, from high and low passes to a lob and a bullet pass, and it’s crucial to know about of all them if you want to dominate on the football field in the game.

The touch pass is a great option if you need to drop the ball over a defender’s head in Madden 24 but the controls you’ll need to execute it are a hybrid between a bullet and lob pass so it can be tricky to do at first.

In order to perform a touch pass in Madden 24, one wants to press the button icon that appears above a receiver’s head at “medium strength,” per EA Sports.

In order to execute a touch pass, one wants to fully press the button that appears above a receiver. However, don’t tap it, or it will be a lob pass. Hold on to it for too long and a bullet pass will be thrown instead.

Just hold it down long enough so that the game registers the input.
