Call an Audible to Change the Play

If when you get to the line of scrimmage you see a defensive formation you do not like, you can always call an Audible to change your team's play. Before you call an Audible, make sure your team are all present at the line of scrimmage. Then press the X button on Xbox or Square button on your PlayStation controller to bring up the Audible screen to change the play call. This is done by pressing left or right to call a play and then pressing the icon you'd like the new play call to be.

Don't Let Quarterbacks Scramble

Make sure you always assign a player to be your QB Spy, typically a linebacker, to contain the quarterback and mirror their movements. Doing this is crucial if you are playing a team like the Baltimore Ravens who have Lamar Jackson at quarterback who will punish you by scrambling downfield for a big chunk of yardage if left unguarded. To assign a linebacker or another player to be your QB Spy, press the A button on Xbox or X button on your PlayStation controller while in pre-snap, and move the right analogue stick to the left. If you pull up the Play Art with L2 you will see a red ring around the player you selected, indicating that they are going to contain the quarterback on the play.

Slow Down Pass Rushers

Trying to get a long pass to your receivers downfield can be tricky when the defensive line is looking to sack your quarterback. To slow these pass rushers down to give yourself the extra seconds you need for your receiver to run his route and the play to develop, press the LB (Xbox) or L1 (PlayStation) key on your controller while at the line of scrimmage to bring up a menu of options. Using the right stick, select your double team. Then, using the left stick, move it towards the defensive player on the line causing you the most problems and press A (Xbox) or X (PlayStation) to double-team them.

Make Halftime Adjustments

Make sure you use halftime to make the necessary adjustments to your team to prevent your opponents from continuing to have any success they had in the second half. For example, if you have been giving up big runs to the outside for two quarters, you need to draw up a scheme that will emphasize protecting those outside running lanes but be careful that you don't create holes that leave you vulnerable to the inside runs as a result. Remember also that the opposing team can also make adjustments just like you.

Time Management is Important

An important aspect of American football is time management and your ability to control the amount of time you have possession of the ball, this can often be the difference between winning or losing a game. In most circumstances, if you feel there is an opportunity to score a touchdown and get 6 points, you should go for it. If however it is late in the game, and you have a comfortable lead there is no need to take unnecessary risks that could result in turning the ball over, it then becomes more beneficial for you to maintain possession of the ball and run out the clock by calling shorter passing plays with runs. Basically, keeping the ball out of the opposing team's hands will give them fewer opportunities to score.

Always Protect the Ball

Maintaining possession of the ball is crucial in American football, so it is essential that your ball carrier always protects it to avoid fumbles, which lead to turnovers. If your player is the quarterback scrambling downfield, you should slide to end the play before taking a big hit from a defender. To slide at the end of a run, you have to press the A button on Xbox or X button on your PlayStation controller. If your player is a running back who wants to get as much yardage as possible, you can make him cover the ball by holding the RB button on Xbox or R1 button on your PlayStation controller.
