Madden 20: 8 Tips To Play Like A Boss

6. Know When To Scramble

This is handy to know for anyone who's still struggling to bust open coverage when trying to sail passes into receivers.

Scrambling isn't too over-powered this year, but it's very useful. All you need to do is hit L2/LT and watch as your QB pulls his arms down. Then, he'll be able to move more freely and sprint faster than he would with that arm cocked to throw. Do this as much as you can; pushing that button removes passing icons and lets your player run like he's darting for the chains.

A quick press of the same button brings those pass hints back up, and this can be handy when looking to open up new routes. Knowing when to scramble and when to pass immediately is the key to limiting sacks and making good gains. Once you start doing this, you probably won't stop even when it's not necessary. That sense of speed is addictive.

Bonus tip: Use this on long yardage second downs to have a better chance of creating room for receivers to run into.
