Alright, so I wanted to mess around with Madden 24 and see what all the fuss was about with these QB release speeds. I’d heard some chatter online about certain quarterbacks having lightning-fast releases, and I was curious to see how much of a difference it really made. So, I fired up the game and started experimenting.
First, I did some digging online to get an idea of who supposedly had the quickest releases. I found some lists of the fastest QBs and some discussions about different throwing motions like “Slinger 1” and “Traditional 4.” Sounds a bit complex, but I just wanted to see things in action. I figured the best way to really understand this stuff was to just jump in and try it out myself.
I started by selecting a few different quarterbacks, trying to get a mix of the supposedly fast ones and some average ones, you know, to compare. I took them into practice mode and just started throwing passes – short ones, long ones, bullet passes, lob passes. I paid close attention to how quickly the ball left their hands and how the throwing animation looked. It was actually pretty noticeable! Some of the guys, like that Lamar Jackson, really did get rid of the ball super fast. His throwing motion was noticeably quicker and more compact than some of the other guys I tried.
- Lamar Jackson: This dude is fast, not just running but throwing too. It felt like the ball was out of his hand almost instantly.
- Patrick Mahomes: Another guy with a quick release, although it felt a little different than Jackson’s. Still super quick though.
- Some other QBs: I tried a few other quarterbacks who weren’t known for having fast releases, and yeah, the difference was real. It took noticeably longer for them to wind up and throw.
After messing around with a bunch of different quarterbacks, I started to see what people meant by “fastest release.” It wasn’t just about how fast the ball traveled, but also how quickly the QB could get the throw off. This could definitely make a difference in a game, especially when you’ve got a defender bearing down on you. I mean, who wouldn’t want a quarterback who can get the ball out quickly under pressure, right?
My Conclusion
So yeah, the QB release speed in Madden 24 is definitely a thing. It’s not just some made-up stat. It can actually impact how you play the game. I can see why people would want to use quarterbacks with fast releases, especially in competitive play. It’s not like you can measure it with any hard numbers in the game, but some quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes are noticeably faster than others. It was a fun little experiment, and it definitely gave me something to think about when choosing my quarterback in the future. I’m gonna keep messing around with different guys and see if I can find the perfect QB for my play style. Anyway, that’s my experience with QB releases in Madden 24. Hope you found it interesting!
