Apart from these amazing features, one exclusive thing that has been there in this game is the one-hand catch. It looks cool and is almost easy to perform with just a few steps in mind. We have explained the mechanics below, so you can read on to clear your doubt.
How to one-hand catch in NCAA 26 or CFB 26?
This feature was not present in CFB 25 last year, but it was there in Madden 25. To perform a one-handed catch, you need to first high pass the ball. To do this, you need to press either L1 or LB on the screen to throw the ball to the intended receiver. While the ball is in the air, you need to press the button with which you want to receive. It can be A for possession catch, X for catch on the run, or Y for aggressive catch or go with B. All this while, make sure you are holding LB. If all of this is timed correctly, the player will perform a one-handed catch. Kindly note that if a player has a low spectacular catch rating, he will have lower chances of doing a one-handed catch.
That will be all the information you are going to need in order to ace at one-hand catch. If you have any other queries or doubts, follow us and regularly visit Digistatement.
