"Madden 18" recently got another title update. Along with the usual bug fixes and improvement on the game's stability, the recent update added a new feature, called "Audibles on the Fly."
"'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," read the official patch notes.
It continues, "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 new feature, players must first select the plays by formation when at the Play Call screen. Once done, they should bring up the Replace Audible menu by pressing LT/L2. The list of audibles currently selected for the designated formation will be shown in the Replace Audible Menu.
The "Audibles on the Fly" feature can be used as much as a player wants all throughout a single game. It works for both offense and defense, and it can be accessed in all game modes such as MUT Draft, Connected Franchise, MUT Squads, and Madden Ultimate team. It's also available in both online and offline play.
The developers noted that once a game has ended, the audible will be reset to their default values. As of the moment, players cannot save the audible on a game-by-game basis, something the Madden Development Team is currently working on. Audible changes can only be saved in an entirety of a single game.
Aside from the "Audibles on the Fly" feature, other gameplay changes and fixes that came with the update include additional penalties when defensive players are used for offense, fixed Play Call screen lag issue, and more. To see the complete patch notes, click here.
