Madden NFL 25 - Formation Audibles (UPDATED)

[Ronnie brown23]

Re: Madden NFL 25 - Formation Audibles

we should at least be able to audible between formations with the same personnel groupings. like from sb 3WR 1 TE 1RB to shotgun 3WR 1TE 1RB. that's my only problem with the new system.

Re: Madden NFL 25 - Formation Audibles

This was a much needed move. They've been using the same unrealistic audible system for like basically forever, with the only change being the tacked on four "generic" plays like play action, etc. mapped to the right stick.

Formation shifts would be a nice addition, but it's a relatively minor detail at this point. Let's you know, see if we can get the AI to call a decent game first before we start confusing it with formation shifts.

Finally though, I can run the 9ers offense like the 9ers offense. So many different looks. Really love what this new team has done with Madden since 12. Hope you guys make a great transition to the next generation.

This current team actually wasn't in place until 13, Cam Weber came in to wrap up M12, but I agree, I like the direction this team has this franchise heading.

13 was their first full year of development. They played a big part in the change of direction from 12 though.

I believe that is true, I know Rex Dickson Gameplay Designer(M25) wasn't even there at all until the end of 13. I think of all the gameplay devs I've been impressed with, he's at the top of the list. The podcast he did last week with Rich Grisham really made an impression on me. He's kind of like Cam Weber's right hand man now, along with Mike Young, so I feel even better about the future now with him on board.

" In a meeting with Developers in February, it was indicated to me that EA wanted to stop those kinds of “Shenanigans” and made a statement of “That doesn’t happen in the NFL, it shouldn’t happen in Madden.” "

Loving the stance! And as much as I appreciate the effort to wind-up: I am taken back by the delivery and stunning follow-thru!

EA is an empire and should not be influenced to run the empire off the shenanigans of the "kids" and the riff raffs of the community.


More statements like the above and the follow-thru thereafter will assure me the leadership is righting the ship. I can overlook graphics and even physic deficiencies so long as EA is banking on aligning their game developments with their "its in the game" motto.

Perefect pitch!

Re: Madden NFL 25 - Formation Audibles

I hope the defense doesn't become dumb during the formation audible. There are still glitches when I call cover 1 and cover 0 schemes when defensive backs line up goofy on the receivers.

Re: Madden NFL 25 - Formation Audibles

Will defense be following the same rules?

In other words, if I come out in nickel, will I be restricted to nickel plays, and further will I finally be able to get rid of the Cover 2 from the "formation audibles" and insert a play of my choosing, just like you are going to be able to do offensively?

Re: Madden NFL 25 - Formation Audibles

I like it. Sounds like it could make calling an audible more advanced, or better overall.

Really glad you guys are digging the new audible system! I do however, have one small(ish) correction:

While on the field, you CAN audible to any Formation and Set combination that shares the personnel group you have on the field.

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.

Thanks for this great addition.

How do audibles on the defense work?

Thanks for clarifying and hope to hear more from you after the specific info for M25 on the new consoles drops. Hoping for some great things out of you in the coming years for this game, no pressure though.:wink:

First, thanks for posting! That sounds like a pretty involved system for audibles. It'll certainly encourage us to get to know our playbooks. The no-huddle should be really effective with this system, but hopefully in a way that's more consistent with NFL football.
