Outside of throwing passes with pinpoint accuracy, the primary role of a quarterback in Madden 23 is to read the defense. While some of the better QBs in the league can make plays happen after the ball has snapped, the truly elite QBs switch things up at the last second before the play has commenced. More commonly referred to as an audible.
In this guide, we will break down everything you need to know about how to audible in Madden 23.
