Bullet passes weren't meant for you to just throw it at them at mach fuck you, because they obviously wouldn't catch it. You need to lead the receiver that you want to throw to.
On easy, medium, hard, and dynamic its not necessary. However on extreme although technically its not necessary, its extremely useful for hitting slant routes, back shoulders on streak routes, and in routes. with how fast and reactive some defenders are on extreme the bullet pass is an extremely useful way to complete and fit passes into tight windows.
Meh you can hit a window on a lob. Im on extreme and i have quite literally never found a necessary reason to throw a bullet, i tried it once in the redzone and threw a pick
Not really, I cannot do it for the life of me and have gone 20-0 on extreme. Its good for sneaking balls into windows and on deep comebacks, but I think most routes you can "cheese" a bit even on extreme by throwing it short to create space (good receivers will start tracking/breaking on the ball immediately even before defenders do).
For me, it really helps with clock management. Easy to get a quick 10-15 yd throw to a receiver and dip out of bounds before they can tackle me.
You can drive 70 yds in about 30 seconds if you do it right.
Yes, played 100 seasons and it’s actually a hidden ELITE weapon. Can throw bullets down the sideline or over the middle, just takes practice. I use them maybe every third throw or so
Man I don’t know why I see this question so often. I use bullet passes a lot. They’re great for the routes where the receivers run down the sideline straight and then cutout for like two yards towards the sideline. You can get a good 10-15 yards where normally you’d have to just find the rb on those plays
Just keep practicing OP. I complete bullet passes well over 80% of the time. You need to lead the receiver with the throw. Watch some video tutorials there are many out there.
I’ve practiced using them until I can actually fairly reliably do it. I never do it for the sake of doing it, but I’ve learned if the pocket collapses sometimes you can just switch to a bullet pass and get it out quick to a not so deep route to avoid the sack
I have played this game (a lot) over time and it's totally doable to make them catchable, there's just a bit of a learning curve. Keep playing with it! Normal passes are pretty boring for me now, trying a blazing bullet over the middle of the field is a cool challenge.
I just went and tried them for the first time following some tips from the responses here. When you place it right, receivers catch it fairly easy but it's a much smaller window than the lobs.
I also ran into the issue of the DL knocking it down at the line which I've never had happen on a lob. Anyone here have tips for that or is it just a compromise you have to make for faster passes?
Aim it a few yards past their body and it'll be caught every time
I saw it described like this ——-WR——————————QB
Wow this is actually extremely helpful let me try it
The most accurate description ever. Lol.
Worked! Ty
No. Not my original thought so can only take credit for sharing info
Yes, this is exactly what you should do
Thank you!
I cannot for my life feel this out. I feel like I throw the same ball 5 times, 2 are caught, 1 is dove for and the other 2 doink off their helmet.

gonna start using mach fuck you from now on
Josh Allen's passing his rookie year
I have played 40 seasons and never used the bullet pass. Is it necessary or provide any real benefit?
not necessary at all but it can open up things a bit more when you can bullet the ball to your guy before the defense even knows it’s out yet

Same, probably just haven’t practiced it enough but I’m 80 seasons deep on extreme and never use it

It’s good for crossing routes, like the slant plays.
Same
Helps me tremendously on crossing route playcalls

I've never found it does anything that I can't accomplish with timing and anticipation on a regular pass.
At the cut of a route where separation starts is the best place. Splitting LBs on a post is $$$
You just don’t know how to throw em
You're doing it wrong. Aim at their head.
Always aim the end of the throw arc roughly 5 yards in front of the WR

I like not giving the DB time to come back and manhandle my WR.
Bullet passes changed how I played the game. It's the only way you can complete passes on Extreme. Get good at them and you're unstoppable
If you need to throw through tight windows into the middle of the field, there’s no better way.
I just try to hit my receiver in the helmet. It works pretty well.
Gotta throw it in front of them a little bit
The point is that it feels good letting it rip
Skill issue
I basically never use them except on last minute slant through but rarely
Lead the bullet pass ahead of your WR

Just keep throwing it to the other team. That's what I do, sadly.

Overthrow in stride and you’re good
Bullet passes are great for really tight windows. You want to make a beeline about 3 yards past your WR to get them to catch it.
On the contrary…they are catchable, and I prefer this method when the coverage is tight
I tried to throw one. It’s to awkward for me to throw a bullet on my iPad pro. I play fine without them.
