Madden NFL 16 Guide › Draft Champions Mode

Green Bay Packers

Offense

The Packers’ offensive playbook favors the passing game, but the right power back can really find some nice holes from the shotgun sets. Don’t draft two big WRs unless an amazing opportunity appears; instead look for one that can be elusive across the middle and run after the catch (RAC).

Key Formation

Gun Doubles Flex Wing is an excellent formation that provides not only a running threat but the ability to block for a deep attempt downfield.

Key Player

QB with 93+ Throw Power and 85+ Medium Accuracy

Formations

  • Singleback: Ace, Ace Twins, Ace Pair, Doubles Pack, Tight Flex, Bunch
  • I-Form: Pro, Slot Flex, Tight Pair
  • Strong: Close
  • Weak: Slot
  • full house: Wide
  • Pistol: Slot Flex Packer, Y-Trips
  • Gun: Doubles On, Doubles Flex Wing, Y-Trips Wk, Wing Offset Wk, Bunch Wk, Normal Y-Flex Tight, Double Flex, Trips Y Iso, Pack Trips, Empty Trey, Flex Trey

OFFENSIVE Draft Targets

  • QB (THP, SAC, DAC)
  • WR (RLS, RTE, SPD)
  • HB (TRK, SPD, CTH)

Pro Tip

The ability to control the pass type is huge in Madden NFL 16, and the Packers’ book will really benefit from an accurate QB.

Defense

The Packers run a 3-4 style playbook with strong defenders up front. These players generally come off the field on rushing downs, so don’t invest too much unless an elite DT is there who can be an every-down player. Selecting LBs doesn’t really hurt you, as you can stack five on the field in most situations, as long as they are versatile.

Key Formation

The Big Dime 2-3-6 is an excellent formation for passing downs and will really punish an opponent who didn’t invest in an offensive line. Make sure to grab an extra CB or safety to maximize your effectiveness.

Key Player

OLB with 85+ PMV

Formations

  • 3-4: Odd, Under, Over, Even, Solid
  • Nickel: 2-4-5, 2-4-5 Dbl A Gap, Psycho, 3-3-5 Wide
  • Big Dime: 2-3-6, 2-3-6 Will
  • Quarter: 1-3-7, 3 Deep

DEFENSIVE Draft Targets

  • OLB (SPD, PMV, POW)
  • CB (SPD, MCV, ZCV)
  • DT (STR, PMV, ACC)

Pro Tip

Finding an OLB who can rush the passer is great, but consider moving him to DE or MLB to keep your opponents guessing.
