Best QB releases in Madden 24

Football is a passing game, and while you can run the ball effectively this year, having the best QB release in Madden 24 is crucial to victory. There's nothing quite like beating a blitz by firing a bullet to your hot read.

Every QB has a slightly different throwing motion, with some taking an age to loop their arm around while others are compact and precise. With how aggressive defenses are, especially in H2H online, getting the ball out fast is incredibly important.

How to speed up a QB release in Ultimate Team

If your favourite quarterback doesn't have one of these releases you can still speed up their throwing action.

To do that you will need to put the Gunslinger ability on them under the upgrade tab on their card. This is usually found in the third ability slot and will cost around 650 training and 2 AP to activate.

For your QB to be eligible they will need to meet the following threshold:

• Field General Archetype - 88 Throw Power
• Strong Arm Archetype - 88 Throw Power
• Improviser Archetype - 90 Throw Power
• Scrambler Archetype - 90 Throw Power

You can find your QB's Archetype on the home screen of the card.
