Hit Stick objectives in solos need to go
just put enforcer on a few guys before the solo and add aggressive tackling. its so easy
I agree, they're effing annoying. Especially when you set tackling on coaching adjustments to aggressive and your cpu teammates decide to not bother attempting hit sticks.
I hate the ones where you have to get a "user catch". Still haven't figured that out.
Bro they be pissin me off the cpu be only dink and Dunkin to where the ball carrier runs out of bounds right after the catch be havin me pull my hair out lol or the ones requiring a spin move no matter how good of a spin I get even if it says user spin it never counts for me lol
I usually run a cover 3, deep zone or qb spy if available the flat defenders. Ai will usually dump off to a flat and easy hits
Straight zone prevent defense, back your secondary off (triangle or y then up on dpad) shade overtop, then user the middle lb/db and sit 15 yards of the LOS and wait for them to make a pass underneath and hit stick them. Works for me
Prevent - Man 3 deep: hit stick the RB or WR that catches the ball. If you don’t spy the QB he’ll run by himself which makes the task easier.
Or FG Block: hit stick the WR with your LB

I put safties at all CBs with enforcer on all of them (I also put enforcer on every lineman eligible)...play a zone defense and watch the fireworks. Within a couple plays someone enforcers like a boss.
If all else fails and you find yourself with the ball, and without a hit stick. Try scoring and kicking it to the opponents FB or TE in charge. If you have a decent FS2 you should be able to get yourself a hit or cut stick. Yes, it takes more time but it seems to be a better strategy for my mental health.
😆 I swear sometimes it goes fast and sometimes it doesn't. Tackling aggressive helps computer does you a solid sometimes
Just come out in field goal block, let them throw the ball and stick them with your LB
I found the easiest way to beat most defensive solos is to just bull rush (truck stick the lineman). For hit sticks, do this then pressure towards the qb without touching him. He will scramble or throw to the outlet and then you can usually get a 1v1 with your first click-on. For fumbles, just spam the hit stick with your super powered edge rusher. Almost sacks them/makes fumble every time
It’s 5k paint. Not worth the stress
Personally I have more issue with when it demands I get a sack. CPU will still be throwing 2 yard check downs or running the ball even on 3rd and 25+. Had one the other night where getting a sack was a bonus objective in a challenge preventing a certain amount of yards before half. It showed the offensive breakdown at the end of half as I was missing the sack objective - 34 runs / 13 passes lol. Basically forces you to run some glitch blitz because organic pressure is impossible.
335 wide, cover 1 contain, pinch line, slant out, bring zone saftey into box and shoot the A gap
100% … they absolutely mess with the sliders on these challenges. Same thing with sacks. Suddenly Kyle Trask has the same release as Rodgers along with fearless and other hidden abilities. They do this in Solo Battles too.
They've haunted me since NFL 100 Ronnie Lott challenge. I'll get a dozen hit sticks a game UNLESS I HAVE TO GET ONE!!!! I'm one star away from full star completion in BB solos and I have to quit before I lose my mind. No matter what I do I cannot get a hit stick. Either I don't get the animation, or AI runs in front of me, steals the tackle, etc. There will be a running back wide open over the middle and I have my guy ready to pounce, inexplicable incomplete pass. It's on aggressive, so even the computer should occasionally do it right?
I decide to just call prevent defense and watch. 16 games go by without getting the hit stick before the 4th play (another objective is to get 12 points in 4 plays)
On the 17th try, I say, "I'm going to let it go to the 5th play to see what happens" 5th play, AI Chancellor lays the wood to the RB over the middle, BUT GUESS WHAT? I don't get the star for 12 points in 4 plays. Is this in the programming? I swear there is something up with solos, especially defensive solos, where the AI is programmed to frustrate you to no end.
