Either do 32-team control or turn transactions to USER only up to week 1, then turn them on again.

Now that I'm going with Dak...How do I pull the icons down if I want to scramble? And how do you QB slide? I'm on PS4 btw

Would greatly appreciate it if someone can answer my question...

Q. I generally use 3WR, 1TE formation. If I use a "Twin TE" package within the formation which substitutes one of the WR with a 2nd TE, how will the formation show up for my opponent? Will my opponent see "3WR, 1TE" or "2WR, 2TE" while he's about to select his defensive play?

ah, wonder why they did that?

I am currently playing in the 'Play now' mode...but I have noticed that I cannot use the currently injured players i.e. Teddy Bridgewater. Is there any way I can turn this option off so that I can use the injured players in play now?

simply put, no.

Getting pretty sick of the CPU being able to throw the ball perfectly while getting smashed, or being able to throw the ball 60 yards across their body (Derek Carr just did this to me last game for a touchdown .5 seconds before getting gang tackled by my entire defensive line closing in on him)... but when my QB tries to stand in the pocket and deliver a throw while knowing I'm about to get hit, I need to make sure and throw it a full one-alligator before the hit comes or else he's either a)not going to throw it, despite extending his arm all the way out he will somehow not release the ball and take a sack, b) throw a horribly inaccurate pass or c) fumble it.

I mean make up your mind how you want throwing while being hit to work and then apply it to both the CPU and the human, I'm getting so frustrated with this.

EDIT: realized I posted this in the Q&A thread but it's not really a question, I just needed to vent lol. Let me rephrase:


Is there some way to fix or prevent this from happening with a slider?

In Madden 2017 on PS4, I have three people in my home who use the same PS4. The three of us would like to play in a Madden Franchise together with each person controlling a separate team. I'm not sure how (or if) this can be set up.

Is there a way for three people who all use the same PS4 to join and play in a franchise together? How would we set it up?

How would it work when it comes time to play a game between two user-controlled teams; would they just play split-screen?

TIA for any help.
