Time is of the essence in any NFL game, and every move a team makes is deliberate and aimed at winning. But as important as time may be, it does not always work in your favor. Sometimes your tactics fall through, and you need to readjust plans. However, if you are out of timeouts, things may be a little difficult. Thankfully, spikes help you in such cases.
Spiking the ball in the NFL allows you to stop the clock and call plays without using a timeout. This is a last-ditch, desperate effort, but one that can change the tide of a match if used well. Madden NFL 26, aiming to be as authentic as possible, incorporates this mechanism into the game.

How To Spike the Ball in Madden NFL 26
You can spike the ball in Madden NFL 26 by pressing the Circle button right after a play is complete. For instance, do a run play, and then hold down the Circle button as soon as the play ends to spike the ball. If you are on Xbox, this button would be B.
The other, more complex way to spike the ball is through the Playbook menu. Open the Playbook menu, go to the “Play Type” tab, and then scroll down and click on “Special.” Under this menu, click on “Clock Management,” and you will find the option to spike the ball. This option is far from convenient and takes quite a while. It is only recommended if you missed the cue to press the button in the first option.
