Re: Madden NFL 17 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Copy/Pasting this from the Little Things thread because I feel like it makes Practice mode 10x better, and is therefore relevant to this thread:

It's "Random Nickel" in the screenshot below (again, this is just one of the sections you can randomize):



It's significant because it still works the same as the old random play option, in that it will randomly select for each individual play. So if you want to practice specifically against different looks while matching personnel, you now have that option. Really nice addition, something I've wanted for a long time.
