Hurry-Up Offense
➥➥
To run a hurry-up offense, hold Button 4 immediately after the whistle blows at
the end of a play. The offense skips the huddle, hurries to the line of scrimmage,
and repeats the previous play. You can call audibles at the line of scrimmage. For
more information on audibles, ➤ Audibles (Offense and Defense) on p. 14.
➥➥
If you want your quarterback to call the “spike ball” play, hold Button 3 at the end
of a play to run a stop clock play. To call a “fake spike” trick play, hold Button 1.

Coverage audibles allow you to change the strategy of the defensive backs at
the line of scrimmage. Press Button 4 then press the D-Button g to put the defen-
sive backs into bump and run. Press Button 4 then press the D-Button i to put the
defensive backs in loose coverage. Press Button 4 then press the D-Button f to
shift the safeties and linebackers into better position to cover their assigned man.
