Secret to big hit/hit stick on SS challenge?

I just punted 🤷‍♂️

It was easy when I did a low hit stick

I did field goal block and put the LB about 25 yards back and as soon as the CPU threw to a receiver, I lined him up and hit sticked him. It’s Alec Ogletree so he doesn’t mess up if you land the hit stick.

I was able to get it by changing tackling to aggressive and scrub kicking it to the left. Their normal returner got it on the ground and I was able to hit stick it with SS Bo. It did seem harder than usual for some reason.

You may have to sub out your TE2 for a slower TE if he is getting there too fast since the solo puts your normal TE1 into TE2 spot. It may also help to sub in your normal defensive players during the solo.

I ended up kicking it short to the backup returner on opposite side of the field from the FB, he's smaller and hit stick him.

Whenever it requires a hit stick tackle I play soft defense and let the receivers catch the ball to square them up. Seems to work for me.

Just play something with deeper zones and let them pass underneath, should be able to line one up pretty well

Couple of things you can try.

2-4-5 Mid Blitz. User the safety covering the RB. Come up about 10 yds behind the line of scrimmage in the middle. If it’s a handoff follow and try to hit stick.

Or

Take the ball back to around your own 10. Punt on first down. Down doesn’t matter as long as it’s not 4th. Take control of the first gunner and pull him back toward you and quickly shift to the other gunner and pull him back. The CPU will sometimes fair catch it if you don’t do this. If they field the ball you will have plenty of space between him and you and you can set up for an easy hit stick.

I put it on aggressive and then played cover 3 zone...usered a DL to not get in the way and the computer hit them for me. Sure there is a better way, but this is how I always do it and it works within a try or two. If you have any SLBs that can get enforcer that would do it also.
