In today’s tip, we are going over one of the best read option plays in Madden 21.
Make sure you have a decent running back and a speedy quarterback to make this play work best.
Lets dive in!
Playbook: Pistol
Formation: Pistol Bunch
Play: Read Option
Setup: None Required
Reads:
- Read the edge defender on the left of the defensive line. If he crashes down to your running back, run with your quarterback to the left.
- If the edge defender contains, press A/X to hand the ball off to your running back and run through the middle of your offensive line.
Overview: This is the best read option in the game because you have your tight end as a lead blocker that you can follow to get big yardage on the ground.
This play is also a very effective play in the red zone. A defense should not be able to stop you 3 times in a row if you are within 10 yards of the endzone.
