Unable to Complete HHM Challenge - Lob Passes

I have been unable to get 2 stars on the HHM Challenge for Dia de los Muertos, specifically the "Complete 2+ lob passes this drive" bonus. 

Anyone else have this issue? I have lobbed balls all over the field and tried high balls etc and it will not register any lob passes. Is it possible a passing settings issue? I'm on placement and accuracy.

Make sure you are actually doing lob passes and not touch passes. If you hold the button down for almost any amount of team, it seems to register as a touch pass.

Pick any hb screen play, tap de button very gently and there it is:)

Yeah, I had the same issue a few times. I hate challenges that require lob passes because of it.

It took me a while to get used to touch passing as a third option added to older Maddens' lob and bullet passes. Now I accidentally throw touch passes at times I wanted to throw lob passes. Then I replay the challenge again, and problem solved.

Yeah as a Madden oldhead (since '97), I didn't realize there was a difference. I was like WTF THOSE ARE LOB PASSES! Haha. Thanks all.

This or some HB swing route...

Mesh routs work well

for those that still may need helpI found switching to revamped made it much easier.  on placement/acc I could never get a lob no matter how little I tapped. it was always a touch pass.    back out and switch to revamp and you will get it first try.

I had an issue with this once. 

I was able to get it to count by not moving in the pocket at all and just quickly tapping the receiver button.

For some reason when I moved around to keep from any pressure, it would not count my lob.

This makes me not want to play madden. It’s the most annoying thing when your spending days on one silly challenge.
