Madden NFL 09 - Flipping Running Plays

July 30, 2008 8:37 am - Author: Kyle Cooper

Flipping your running plays is a great way to completely change the direction of your offensive attack without letting your opponent know.  Of course, the quarterback always stands up and gives a gesture when the call is made on the field.  However, you can have your quarterback make the gesture even if you aren't really flipping the play, so it's still difficult for your opponent to prepare.  Continue reading below to find out what makes this technique so useful. 

 


We've called for a toss to the running back out of the huddle.  However, we want to see if our opponent is going to try to make any adjustments before the play begins to give us a better idea of which side of the field we should run to. 

 


We notice our opponent manually moving several players over towards the tight end's side, so we flip the play back to the other side.  To make this change flick the right analog stick to the left before the snap.  If we decided that we wanted to run the play back to the right all we have to do is flick the right analog stick back to the right.  

 


After our opponent has completely setup his defense you can see just how committed he is to the right side of the offensive line.  With far less defenders on the backside this is an easy decision on where to run the football. 

 


Bills' quarterback J.P. Losman swings the ball out wide to running back Marshawn Lynch with a wall of blockers in front. 

 

A couple perfect blocks from our linemen, combined with a sweet block in the back, allows us to get to the outside.
