How do you guys call plays

[fistofrage]

It seems if I go suggested, the playbook is very limited, but I don't want to cycle through all the plays.

I would like to call a game without repeating very many plays without me specifically picking each individual play.

Is there a way to set up playbooks to get a lot of randomness in the play calling.

I would like to know as well.

I call plays manually based on a gameplan, and what I observe from the opposing defense and what's going to be open for me. If you're playing against human opponents, you're gonna get destroyed with random playcalling. But you can get away with going random against the AI. But I only play human versus human, so playcalling is the most important element of gameplay.

I'm afraid you are asking too much from the game's AI. The only way you will get true randomness and variety is to cycle through the plays and call the game yourself.

I start every game with the same 5 plays in a random order (barring short yardage situations) They are my top 5 plays that I know I won't turn the ball over on 3 passes 2 runs. Doing that you can ascertain what type of defense your opponent likes to run, who they control on defense, and how they read route combos. After that you adjust your game play to the openings you see from your safety set. Run plays that hit their weakness until they prevent it.

^ very good insight. I like that. A lot.

I usually use coach suggestions, but I'm noticing the same, roughly six plays always come up. With that said, I'm going to continue using coach suggestions but I'm going to scroll down past the first three that pop up to get a bigger variety. By the way, this is user vs cpu. I haven't played an actual human player in Madden in YEARS man. I think the last time I actually played another person HAD to be over 10 years ago lmao!!

You can edit your "gameplan" so coach suggestions selects a wider variety of plays.
