Which Menus To Master for Creating Custom Playbooks in Madden NFL 26

The four menus to master include Audibles, My Playbooks page, All Plays page, and My Gameplan page. Let’s understand why you’ll need each of these.

  • Audibles: This menu will let you alter the four predetermined plays that your team’s defense and offense audibles to before the start of play.

  • My Playbooks: You can use this page to remove certain plays if you don’t like them. Or, if you don’t want to completely delete those plays, you can instead choose to give them a low rating, so they won’t be used during a game.

  • All Plays: This page displays all of the plays for every formation in a game. You can add plays here and activate them freely.

  • My Gameplan: In this menu, you can set the star ratings of the various plays. The ratings determine how often a play is suggested to you during specific scenarios.
