Madden 16: 9 Tips To Play Like A Boss

1. Open Your Eyes

Just because you have your little red route sorted, that doesn't mean you have to religiously stick to it. This is where the little indicators are the bottom come into great effect. Have a contingency plan for each play, so if Jordy Nelson (above) finds the secondary have him on lockdown, a simple toss to HB John Kuhn may be worth it to pick up a few extra yards. Be prepared to improvise and adapt mid-play if you want to stand any chance of stealing an advantage on your opponents. If you're running with the ball and a sudden gap emerges, click R1/RB to cover up the ball and compact yourself to slot through tight spaces, even if it wasn't in your planned route. The same goes for all forms of the game, if an opportunity arises that you weren't expecting, jump on it. These are just a few tips to consider when you're firing up Madden for the first time, but they're essentials for becoming a dominant force on the game.
