Madden NFL 25 - Formation Audibles (UPDATED)

[N51_rob]

All things considered I actually like this move. I like that they are looking to get rid of people manipulating the personnel screen to get the defense in bad match-ups. So it is progress in the right direction as far as I am concerned.

Looking more and more like a Chip Kelly offense is going to be very fun in madden.

I get to have Celek at TE, throw Ertz and James Casey in the slot/out wide with DeSean stretching the field. Don't forget about the single back LeSean McCoy!

The game planning begins.

Ooooo Weeee!

In a meeting with Developers in February, it was indicated to me that EA wanted to stop those kinds of “Shenanigans” and made a statement of “That doesn’t happen in the NFL, it shouldn’t happen in Madden.

Really? I guess Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos doesn't play in the NFL then:



I really don't see how decreasing the realism and freedom in the game could be considered a good move. Then again, I don't play online, and don't abuse the current system offline.

In reference to the video and I state this a lot, there is a clear difference in a practiced/setup play/adjustment/audible and the exploitation that goes on in Madden.

What was in the video is likely a predetermined formation shift, rather than an on the fly audible to an entirely different play/formation, there is a difference.

That is a awesome find. The problem is like the article outlined people going from a 5 wide, to a goal line with recievers at all the positions. To me Madden had to go this route. One day maybe give certain qbs the ability to change formations, but for now I will settle for this over the alternative.

That is a heavy/goal line set going to another heavy/goal line set...Not like they are going from a spread 4 wr set to a I-Form with a WR in the TE position and/or a WR in the RB position.

Plus that play isn't something Madden is even trying to stop, that was the Broncos adjusting from a bunch formation with tight ends to a stretch which is a perfectly common play.

They are trying to prevent users from adjusting wideouts into bunch formations to exploit the AI which is not something you see.

we should at least be able to audible between formations with the same personnel groupings. like from sb 3WR 1 TE 1RB to shotgun 3WR 1TE 1RB. that's my only problem with the new system.
