It was very simple: At the play selection screen you'd click a button the enable shifting, then you'd select your play, and then when you got to the line of scrimmage, the offense would line up in a random formation and then shift into the true formation. Hard to believe Madden and NCAA haven't offered shifting in all that time. EDIT: If you mean packages, you can cycle through packages from the play selection screen with the right stick.

nice reference,

there was formation shifting on NES Super Tecmo Bowl!

Come on now

Ha! That's right. I remember the Redskins always used to shift like mad in that game. Ah, the glory days.
