Executing a handoff follows the same flow as pitching the ball so I won’t belabor the point by repeating that article with slightly different screenshots. Instead, I’ll tell you how handing the ball off is different from pitching the ball.

The only difference is the playart used to represent the ball changing hands.

In fact, you can create a handoff with waypoints well outside the bounds of what makes sense for a handoff and the play editor will let you do it:

Instead of artificially restricting how and when you can hand the ball off Playbook Wizard instead relies on you to design your plays so that they obey all applicable laws of physics!

Handoff Restrictions
The ball must be snapped before a handoff can occur.
