Madden NFL 18 update is now available for download. According to the Madden NFL 18 patch notes, the latest title update has added Audibles on the Fly as well as a fix for Franchise Play Call screen lag. Audibles on the Fly is a feature that allows users to change any formation audible from the Play Call screen at any point in the game.

This feature will bring a level of strategy to Madden that you see from the best players and coaches in the NFL by allowing users to change up their scheme or game plan mid-game to make “on the fly” adjustments to counter your opponent’s scheme. This feature also introduces custom audibles in modes like Madden Ultimate Team for the first time ever. To access the audibles on the fly feature, you need to be selecting plays by formation when at the Play Call screen.

Once you have selected a formation and are at the Play Call screen, simply press LT/L2 to bring up the Replace Audible menu. The replace audible menu shows the list of audibles that are currently set for the selected formation. It’s easy to use:


While at the replace audible menu, select what play in the audibles list you want to replace

Once a play is selected from the Replace Audible menu, you will then be taken to the replace play level of the Play Call screen where you can select the play you want to add to the active list of audibles for that set to replace your previous selection.

Once audibles have been selected, users will return to the primary Play Call screen to select the next huddle play. After breaking the huddle, users will have access to all of the new audibles via the audibles menu at the line of scrimmage for the current set.

Other Audible Notes

Users can use the Audibles on the Fly feature with a custom playbook as long as there are four or more plays in the set

If the user has four or more plays in the set, but doesn’t populate all of the audible slots with plays when creating the custom playbook, only the audible slots that are populated with plays can be replaced with the Audibles on the Fly feature

Audibles on the Fly works for play call by Formation only – Madden Devs are evaluating the possibility to expand this to other play call options like by Personnel
