That "Stars and Stripes" challenge for Budda Baker -- who thought this was a good idea!?

I CANNOT get it.

So it's one of those you have to get a big hit on.

Okay, easy enough... but it can't be the FIRST tackle you get but you also can't let them get 5 yards on the play. Okay fair.

But I CANNOT big hit anyone in this thing. I've tried everything. I've come out in prevent, dropped all my linemen into coverage. The QB just holds onto the ball then throws it away. Or he throws a pick. Or he tries to dump it off to the side and the guy drops it. Or they catch it and it's just a regular talk. I had someone lined up for a hit stick once and just bounced off their running back with freaking Orr at linebacker. This is madness.

I havent tried this challenge yet but i always hate the hit stick/big hit ones bc the cpu is so bad that they either get sacked or throw it away.

Yeah it would be fine if they didn't just stand there and hold the ball until they get sacked.

Mid blitz user your DE and get the hit on the QB

Or you can do cover 3 man prevent.   Control the middle deep safety and come up with him.   If they run make a beeline his direction and hit stick.   If they pass then 90% of the time the qb will try to take off cause everyone is covered.   Put both de on hard flats if you're getting pressure still.

This was my exact strategy and after about 15 tries, finally got it. The QB was just brain dead and kept chucking it out of bound or throwing to covered receivers. So stupid. The strip sack one in Game Changers was easier.
