When you are the QB, you can throw the ball two different
ways: straight (hold the button of the receiver you want to throw
it to) and up high (press and release the button for that receiver).
When you throw it up high, the QB will throw the ball over the
safety to your receiver. He will catch the ball most of the time.
Throwing it straight is the most common way. He just throws it
to the receiver and it will not go over the safety. It is best
to use the straight pass if the WR is wide open.
