Changing defensive formation against Hurry-Up Offense

[BungerHenry]

When you are on defense against a hurry-up offense, the Audible box will pop up to give you a choice of plays for the formation you are in. The top of the box has left and right arrows, which seem to show that you can choose a different defensive formation. What button or stick or combination do you use to change the defensive formation? Nothing I've tried makes it change.

Left or right on the D-pad

I tried that but it would not change.

You can only change to another formation that has the same personnel as the one you are on (you cannot substitute players).

In your case you probably don’t have another formation with the same personnel as 4-2-5.

If you were in 4-3 you would see 4-3 Over, 4-3 Even, etc.

It´s left/ right on the D-pad.

I have moved from 4-3 to Nickel and Also Dime.

It really depends on your initial default defensive setting. Maybe 4-2-5 doesn´t allow for that much flexibility.

I'm pretty sure if the opponent is running turbo no huddle, you are limited to the same formation.



Vs normal no huddle, you should be able to change formations to others with the same personnel, but if you start subbing players out in the preplay screen then I think you can be restricted as well

I’ve definitely switched formations against turbo as well as normal no huddle.

Re: Changing defensive formation against Hurry-Up Offense

It seems random to me - sometimes I can switch formations, other times I can't. I haven't pressure-tested it yet, but my surface-level impression is that sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
