Finding the right game is key to winning, but being able to actually run the game you want is just as crucial. Unpredictability is the key to winning in this game, so if you want to be successful you need to be open to change mid-match against your opponent. For each chosen game, you will have to complete the specific number of games intended for it. Because of this, you want to change your pass, run, routes, and make some substitutions so your opponent can’t figure out what your next move is. In this American football game, we all just play chess. This is Vincent’s guide to how to understand formations in madden 24 for beginners.
What are formations in Madden 24?
When deciding which game to pick at the start, middle, or end of a match, you’ll have noticed that there’s a lot of choice and little time to make a decision. Your game can be filtered by category which can then be sorted into very specific games aimed specifically at passing, running or positioning. Whichever you choose, it will be your decision for the total number of plays shown in the play type overview. But for those who don’t want to memorize their favorite team’s entire playbook, you’ll find that plenty of achievements can actually be found in the roster section when choosing your next playbook.
While you have the option to play between Formation, Concept, Game Type, and Staff, these are all useful in different ways, but the most versatile and adaptable choice is Formation. Indeed, the other types of play seek to choose a play suitable for a certain player, pass, run or formation. When it comes to the unpredictable, you’ll want to use the Training section rather than any of the other options. Your formation can be further filtered by choosing the specific run or pass you want to run, while having more choices to replace players who are better in different circumstances the terrain demands (Packages) or re-route their run path to confuse the players. opponent (Hot Routes).

Some of the most popular formations to use are the 3-4/4-3, but not every team has it in their playbook. For this reason, it’s best to start with the team you’ve chosen (whether it’s your favorite team or the one that best matches your style of play) and go from there. Each formation will dictate where your players are on the field and from there you can select the specific play you want to run, from the QB pass to the route you want each receiver to take. The versatility of Formation comes from the early game where you can use pre-game tactics to adjust your receivers Audibles and Hot Routes. It’s when you get the ball back that the game really begins as you make that crucial shot by weighing your options based on defenders covering your receivers or the run a man is making. Formations give you time to change your game, unlike the other game types in the game.
How to learn the formations
As suggested above, it’s best to start by finding your perfect team that suits your style of play. You may find that you prefer to seek out those precise and deeper passes, or find gaps in the defense that allow you to pass through the holes in the line of the defender. Whether or not you had a favorite team before choosing Madden 24, we recommend finding a team that matches what you’re looking for. Each team has their own superstars that host X-Factor abilities that can be game changers for the match, so keep that in mind as well when picking your team. When it comes to learning formations we recommend that you find two-three that you can follow as a base and make the appropriate adjustments based mainly on the hot routes of your receivers based on their formation or change pass/run based on distance. you are about to score a touchdown.
There are far too many builds to learn in Madden 24. Even if you were to stick to one team, having to learn every aspect of the playbook is impossible for newcomers. For this reason, we recommend focusing on the few games that work for you based on PvE or PvP trial and error. Stick to the basics and figure out where you want your receivers to be, whether that’s spread out beyond the numbers or in a tighter formation down the center. From there, you can decide which pass or run you want to look for and adjust to keep your opposition on their toes at all times.
