How to Recover an Onside Kick in NCAA Football 11

Recovering an onside kick is one of the most challenging feats to accomplish in football, and it's equally difficult in video games as it is on the field. In the Electronic Arts game "NCAA Football 11," you can set up to kick onside and try your hardest to recover the ball. Your attempt will fail most of the time, but if you manage to succeed, you'll have the ball and may have ideal field position.

Instructions

- 1
  Select the onside kick option when you are ready to kick off the ball to begin the game, at halftime or following a score. Your players will automatically line up in a formation to attempt to recover the kick.
- 2
  Kick the ball as you would normally on the game's kicking meter. Try to keep your accuracy as close as possible to perfect to bounce the ball off the turf and have it fly 10 yards in the air. As long as you set up for the onside kick, the kicker will automatically kick the ball off the turf and up in the air.

  Select the player closest to the ball by pressing the "O" button once the ball begins to come down toward the mass of players under it. Press the "triangle" button to jump with the player to try to recover the ball before an opponent can get it.
