Learn when to swat
Instead of going for a catch, you can increase the range in which your defender can make a play by going for a swat. This way you can have a notable number of plays broken up even if you won’t get many interceptions, and you should bear in mind that this method could be very helpful when your defender has a size disadvantage when compared to a big WB. Going for a swat will allow your player to jump higher and make up ground against his opponent. Bear in mind that this is a great option if there is another defender around the area, as he may be able to “tip drill” and intercept a broken-up pass. To play swat, hold X or Square after the ball is thrown.
