I'm playing a franchise with the Colts and I'm trying to run a no huddle as accurate to the real Colts offense as I can. I really like this game, but one of the things that frustrates me is that I only get five audibles total. I'm afraid I got spoiled by NFL 2k5 last year when I got 5 audibles per formation. I'm curious as to what purpose the formation shift serves and how this might help me run a more accurate Colts no huddle???

You get 5 button audibles + 4 audibles for every formation. So in total you have 9 audibles. The formation audibles are activated by using the Right Analog stick instead of the buttons. So Audible button + Left, Right, Up or Down on the right analog stick.Originally posted by paperclipsI'm playing a franchise with the Colts and I'm trying to run a no huddle as accurate to the real Colts offense as I can.

It creates matchup problems. Look at it as a multitude of players going in motion. I 've seen times when I do it, that I have my a LB is in man coverage with a Linebacker or WR.Comment

Re: What Purpose does a formation shift serve?
So after switching formations from say...a 3 WR set to a 2 TE set... and then audible to my square button audible, the recievers all run the same routes as they would for that square button audible prior to the formation shift???
And if not...how do I set up the audibles for the different formations that I can shift into?Comment

You can also choose up to 5 different audibles everytime you choose a play in the playcall screen. If you're on X-Box, when you're at the playcalling screen, push in the right analog stick(R3) and push the button of the play that you want to take as an audible. You can do this for the X, A, B, black, and white buttons on any given play. I always take at least one play for an audible and pick my regular play. This actually gives you the possibility to have 14 different audibles on every play. Essentially, this is the same as NFL2K5.Comment

I think you need to do this the other way around. Square button audibles take precedence over formation shifts and hot routes, so do them first unless you want to cancel your shifts and route changes. The steps would be 1) call a play and set on-the fly audibles if wanted, 2) break huddle and optionally audible to the play you want to run, then 3) optionally shift to another formation, send a player in motion, and/or make hot route changes.Originally posted by paperclipsSo after switching formations from say...a 3 WR set to a 2 TE set... and then audible to my square button audible, the recievers all run the same routes as they would for that square button audible prior to the formation shift???Comment

if u are trying to be as accurate as you can..then u should know that the colts do not shift and Marvin is allways on the right side of the formation..\Originally posted by paperclipsI'm playing a franchise with the Colts and I'm trying to run a no huddle as accurate to the real Colts offense as I can.

No, the on the fly audibles are just that. You set them before every play. The only ones that will stay the same are the ones you set in the pause menu.Originally posted by paperclipsHow long to on the fly audibles stay set?
