The Return of Formation Subs in Madden NFL 17

yeah cause there's not a huge advantage for it. a HB guarded by a CB is cool. a WR guarded by a LB not so much. advantage WR. same at TE. Madden does a good job of telling you personnel on the field but a lot of that strategy went out with the lack of being able to counter in Gen2/3

And clearly an attempt to cheese imo. What teams actually do this? Cobb does it on occasion, who else?

Another fair point. Without the ability to assign defensive match-ups, I could see this sort of flexibility being a point of frustration and creating exploits.

I still would rather have unlimited flexibility myself, but again, I understand the mindset.

No WR at HB but thankfully I can put HB at WR and now with full player editing that should not be a problem at all. So happy this has finally returned to Madden.

Off the top of my head, WRs I've seen line up in the offensive backfield as a running back - Randall Cobb, Tavon Austin, Dexter McCluster, DeAnthony Thomas, Percy Harvin, Cordarrelle Patterson, Lucky Whitehead, Julio Jones, AJ Green.

It's not common, granted, but it's also not rare.

yeah i'd much rather have the option available and let the rules committee of these online CFMs handle the rest. especially since this seems to be a CFM only feature.

I sure hope I can make my Punter the Holder on XP's and FG's !!!

So no DE to TE or FB? Meaning no Watt on O, bummer.
