Which way do you slide protect on pitches/tosses?

I've not been very successful on these as of late and I have Chris Johnson along with a great O-line so I must be doing something wrong. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

How much speed does he have? When I toss or pitch I normally don't do any slide protections. I do notice when I switch between Forte(Bears) and Knowshown(Broncos), I have that same trouble as well. I just think pitches and tosses work better with a speed back. Knowshow seems to do really well at the pitches and tosses. With Forte I always seem to get caught when going around the corner. I may get a couple of yards on average, but normally I just plow up the middle with him and then throw in a couple of tosses to the left or right to keep my opponent off guard. I use the Broncos PB when playing with both teams. Back to main question though, I typically do not do anything (as far as slide protection) when running a pitch or toss play. I can only go off what has worked for me, but I have seen alot of people say the same thing. When I am running up the middle I use agressive. I will slide to the left or right (opposite direction I am running) if I run a play where it has me running to the left or righ of the center. I guess some will think differently, but that is what has worked for me. Too bad you are not on xbox360 or I would hit you up for a game. Hope it works out for you. Take care!

na movin ur line def makes a big difference. its not like last year n madden wher u would move ur line to the opposite of the way tht u r runnin. this year if ur goin left an switch ur line to block left u will notice tht u hve more blockers out n front of u. and dnt always look to go outside sometimes if u see a seem take it and it is jus as good as goin outside sometimes. this works real well 4 me

i usually slide it to the side im running too however if they show a lot of heat coming from the middle if u dont slide down or pinch the line then sometimes they run right through and sack u before u toss the ball

Use aggresive or slide them towards the run.

I usually slide them towards the run but that has not been working all that well. I'm guessing a lot of people are DE containing.

nah!! if you run left slide protect to the right,for some reason that sh!t work's this year!!! i don't know why but it work's..if you run right slide left...it work's.

The only time I slide protect the opposite way is counters

Some tosses just dont work. I always slide aggressive.

Tosses I always slide to the side of the toss and for runs down the mid I go aggressive.

I've started using titans and CJ + VY = win.

Ummm i figured out that, if they are DE containing, slide protect aggressive and run RIGHT at the DE, like where he was pre-snap and they should be a nice hole there seeing as he moved outside on contain. But if they aren't just slide protect to the side you are running too.

Isn't Forte faster than Moreno?

no he's not.
