Madden NFL 25 - Formation Audibles (UPDATED)

For example - lets say you're the Cardinals, because everyone wants to be the Cardinals. You're on the field in Shotgun Bunch (11 personnel) - you complete the previous pass and no huddle. You then bring up the audible menu and you have audibles for: Shotgun - Bunch, Y-Trips HB Wk, Normal HB Wk, Split Close, Trio Singleback - Tight Doubles, Z-Trip In this case, that's a total of 28 audibles at the line - Congratulations, you're Peyton Manning. -Kolbe

Is that just no huddle? Or will we have access to all the different personnel based audibles coming out of the huddle as well?

That's cool but are formation subs in the game and working properly ?

I think this is a great idea...Some combo of experience and awareness, and some other attribute maybe? I think that experience should play a role in audible options...

Kaep is a hot QB, based on what was seen for about half the season last year, and his ratings may show that, but he is still a new NFL QB with less than a year under his belt, so the balance could be that he still does not have full authority from the coaches to go changing calls at the LOS..

Then take a situation such as, QB Peyton Manning, probably having full reign to call as he wishes, if any QB does in the NFL, going down with an injury. Now you have a backup come in and your audible options goes down to a handful of available option calls...

Could also add some wealth to older QB's...Now when trying to decide whether to start the hot new rookie at QB or let him sit behind a veteran you can consider the audible options the 2 QB's have available...

Hopefully one day when you change personnel from play to play you get players coming and going off the field.

Coming out of the huddle will work the same way. Describing it as a no huddle situation gives it more flair

Yep.

Thanks for the reply, after their QB play last year the Cardinals probably need as much flair as they can get.

So this basically means formation shifts are in the game, or at least a variation there of. Good stuff.

Thanks for the info, this is a big step I am excited to hear about. Hope to see custom packages that include special teams formations next year...
