Here's how it works:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Most players hover their user near the offensive line on blitzes. When the ball snaps — you fake rush for a second to confuse blockers. This lets your actual pass rushers come free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>But good players catch on. They start \u003Cstrong>untargeting your user\u003C\u002Fstrong> — calling your bluff. They tell their offensive line \"ignore that user, just block the real rushers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>That's when you flip the script. \u003Cstrong>Hold Left Trigger + Down on Left Stick\u003C\u002Fstrong> right when the ball snaps. Now YOU become the real rusher. Since they're untargeting you — you come completely free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>This is the untargeted rush. It's not a setup play — it's a counter-punch when opponents think they're being smart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>How to Set Up User Rush Sacks\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\u003Cp>First — you need an \u003Cstrong>overload style blitz\u003C\u002Fstrong>.

Most players think usersd are just for confusion. They don't expect the user to actually rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>When they untarget your user — they're essentially playing with 10 blockers against 11 rushers.
