- 1). Begin a game and get into a position where it is desirable for you to kick onside. Kicking onside is useful when the score is close between you and your opponent, and you need possession again immediately following a touchdown or end of a quarter. Kicking in this manner can give you the ball around midfield, but it also risks giving your opponent excellent field position with the ball.
- 2). Scroll through the kickoff playbook when the play selection screen appears. Your playbook has long kicks, squib kicks, which are low and cause the ball to bounce, giving your players plenty of time to get down the field and block the kick return effort, and the onside kick. This is labeled.
- 3). Choose the "Onside Kick" option. It actually takes up three slots on your playbook, each of which signify the same play.
- 4). Kick the ball low and with medium force. The ball must travel at least 10 yards to count as a legal kick, but it also needs to remain close enough so that your team gets to it first.
