Online Madden 09 gamer Stephen Gibbons (Gamertag-sgibs7) recently submitted an interesting tip idea that can provide your offense with the ability to easily score in one play on virtually every down. We know this tip works in practice mode extremely well, but the question is does it work in an actual game? What we're going to do in this article is demonstrate how this tip works so you can try it for yourself. This tip can be done with any passing play under center. However, if you've called a playaction play, then you'll want to remove the playaction before the snap by keeping the running back in to block.
Quick Setup
Step 1 - Call any passing play where the quarterback is under center.
Step 2 - Press (360 - RB / PS3 - R1) to pull the screen back and then release.
Step 3 - Reset your play by pressing (360 - X + LT / PS3 - Square + L2).
Step 4 - (optional) Hot route as many receivers as you want to perform a streak route (360 - Y + receiver's icon + d-pad up / PS3 - Triangle + receiver's icon + d-pad up).
Step 5 - (optional) Shift your line protection down to make sure that you're not hit by any immediate pressure (360 - LB + d-pad down / PS3 - L1 + d-pad down).
Step 6 - Snap the ball and touch nothing but the receiver's icon that you want to pass to.
Play Breakdown
The play that we've come out of the huddle in is the Singleback Ace Flanker Drive. Again, you can use this technique with any play where your quarterback is under center.
Defensively, our opponent has come out in a Cover 3 to try to cover the entire field.
The first step we take is simply pressing (360 - RB / PS3 - R1) to pull the screen back and see the entire width of the field.
Next, we call for an audible (360 - X / PS3 - Square) and then reset it by pressing (360 - LT / PS3 - L2) immediately after.
As soon as we have reset the audible our quarterback actually moves up forward to essentially become one with the center.

Remember guys it CAN be done in game. However i figured I would suppress the masses by only showing how its done in practice mode as opposed to in game. I also did not showcase the best way to counter this as well. Merry Christmas everyone...and best of luck figuring it out IN GAME!!!!!!!!
My god....

Any playobook...any play under center
I tried it, it works perfectly in practice, but when I did the same exact thing in the game, it didn't work.

For all you guys that say it can't be done
why would sgibs give you a huge money/cheese(or whatever you want to call it) for free???
If your good at something never do it for free
Sgibs, amazing find man. i guess this is the icing on the cake for a completely flawed game

When i saw this i was like o my fricken god this is amazing i love this guy. but cant figure out to make it work in the game on 360. so if anyone knows please post it and ill show you most of my plays in a lab session on live. got some money plays. CMONEY57
I think they already fixed this cause i spent 2 games tryin it and not once did it work but in practice mode it worked fine.

Sgibs7,interesting glitch.Works in practice.Not in game. You said need extra moves.you said read. R2 button in PS3 wouldn't be part of solution,would it?

Quarters defenses primarly Cover 3 or 4 help to slow this glitch down. the nose tackle smacks the QB upwards 90% of the time as soon as the ball is hiked. Also the DB's are pretty deep so when they are forced to blitz they are right around where the receiver has to catch the ball. keep it in your audible as they will change to run play probably after you shut it down. whatever u do have a nose guard!
