Every Thursday, a leader in the community will share a tip or two to help you improve your Madden game. This week, I've got a tip of my own that I'd like to share.

While many Madden community veterans are probably already aware of this, it's sometime sunnoticed that this year's next gen Madden games do have offensive playmaker control after a play has started.  Originally introduced in Madden NFL 04, offensive playmaker allows you to direct one receiver to a specific part of the field while on the fly, all while still controlling your quarterback.

 In order to activate offensive playmaker, press both the right and left triggers after snapping the ball.  Your closest receiver will then be highlighted and you can press up, down, right, or left on the right analog stick to send your receiver to a specific part of the field.  This tip comes in handy when you're out of the pocket with your quarterback and can't find an open man.
