If the game is on the line, and all a team needs is a field goal to win the game, it'south almost a sure bet that the opposing team will look to ice the kicker. For those who may not know what "icing the kicker" means, it's essentially this: a team will call a timeout merely before the kicker attempts a field goal. The purpose is to mess with the kicker's timing and mental country so that the subsequent field goal attempt results in a miss. Just similar in existent football, you can ice the kicker in Madden 22, and this is how you do it.

Before we become into the controls, it's important to signal out why icing the kicker in Madden 22 is so important. Once doing so, the opposing role player (or yourself, if yous take been iced) will simply take a few seconds to see the meter that is used to kick a field goal. Those few seconds will be the difference between either making or missing a clutch field goal.

To ice the kicker, brand sure that the clock is close to nada in the quaternary quarter. Next, the game needs to exist on the line — in order to exist able to ice the kicker, the field goal that is being attempted must either tie or win the game for the kicking team. Third, yous accept to have at least i timeout left. If those three points are met, hitting either the Back Button for Xbox players or the touchpad on the PlayStation to call a timeout. After calling the timeout, the team existence iced can endeavour to kicking a field goal. But it will be a bit more nerve-wracking, equally there will merely exist a few seconds of time that the field goal meter will be on the screen.

If y'all want to avoid being iced, try doing this. Outset, keep in mind how many timeouts the opponent has. If the opposition has more than i timeout, this method might not work, depending on how much time is left. As well, if you don't take any timeouts to stop the clock, or if the clock is edging extremely shut to zero (nosotros're talking around 5 to ten seconds), this may not work either. Merely, if the opposition does have one or two timeouts, try a field goal and let the opposing player call a timeout. From there, call a quick running play and and then cease the clock as before long as yous can with a timeout. This will reset the field goal meter and prevent you from being iced.
