In all honesty, this kind of catch isn't the most strategic or beneficial of catches; it is purely a highlight reel kind of thing. Players can have their receiver go up and snag the ball with just one hand to show just how athletic they are. While it may not have much use for winning a game, it feels so good when pulled off. This is why this guide is here to help anyone looking to get a bunch of catches worth of SportsCenter.

How To One-Hand Catch In Madden NFL 25

Madden NFL 25 - One Hand Catch In-Game

You'll be able to pull off a stylish one-hand catch right away when you start playing the game, since it only requires you to use the left shoulder button of your controller. This means pressing either the LB button on Xbox or the L1 button for PS5. When the ball is in the air, simply press this button, and the player will attempt to make a catch with their hand.

Now, of course, this is risky and poses plenty of chances for the pass to either be incomplete or result in a turnover. With just one hand going for it, there is much less ball security when catching. Because of this, going for a one-handed catch when the receiver is wide open is the best choice so they can avoid a defender interfering. It's just more realistic to expect them to pull it off in these situations, even though it's not a given.

More Reliable Catching Methods To Try

If players are looking for more security, other catching types can give you just that:

  • Aggressive Catch: Best used for 50/50 balls that go to a covered receiver. It has the player use their athleticism to aggressively go for the ball over the defender.
  • Run After Catch: Best for wide-open receivers, having them catch the ball in-stride so that they can gain even more yards after they have caught the ball.
  • Possession: The most secure catch in the game. This one has the receiver sliding to avoid any big hits and securing the catch. If people want to make sure that they get the yards they need, this is the best option for them.
