Switch sticking is one of the most powerful mechanics in Madden 26. Here’s how to do it:
- User control a defender in a coverage assignment.
- During a pass play, flick the right stick toward a defender also in a coverage assignment.
This lets you cover the entire field by moving your user across different defenders throughout the play.
It’s important to note that if you’re controlling a player who is not assigned to coverage, such as a defensive lineman blitzing, you won’t be able to use Switch Stick.
