Locking Your User
“Locking” your user is an advanced technique to allow you to get the most out of your user right after the snap. By entering the man coverage menu in your user’s individual adjustments, you can hold down the sprint button and point your left stick in the direction you want to run immediately after the snap. This allows you to have instant movement with your user post-snap rather than waiting for the snap to occur before holding the sprint button and pointing the left stick in the direction you want to move. Here is exactly how to “lock” your user pre-snap:
Click onto your user
Press A on Xbox or X on PlayStation
Press up on the right stick
You can now hold sprint and point the left stick in any direction you want before the snap
