Madden NFL 16 Guide › Draft Champions Mode

Miami Dolphins

Offense

The Miami playbook features multiple shotgun Formations and can really be solid for a player who is balanced but has a bit more of a pass-first mentality. You don’t have to run if the numbers in the box aren’t in your favor.

Key Formation

The Gun Wing Trips Dolphin formation is just one example of a wing formation in this playbook that allows for solid pass protection and versatility at the TE position.

Key Player

TE with 75+ RBK

Formations

  • Singleback: Ace Wing, Ace Pair, Ace Pair Flex, Doubles, Wing Trips Open, Wing Trio
  • Pistol: Ace Wing
  • Gun: Split Dolphin, Ace Offset, Ace Twins Offset, Twin TE Flex Wk, Doubles Offset, Doubles Wing Offset, Doubles Offset Wk, Tackle Over Trips, Y-Trips Offset, Wing Trips Dolphin, Wing Trips Dolphin Wk, Trey Offset, Bunch, Bunch Open Offset, Tight Offset TE, Double Stack, Dbls Y-Flex Offset, Double Flex, Trey Open Offset, Empty Bunch, Empty Base Flex

OFFENSIVE Draft Targets

  • TE (RBK, CIT, RTE)
  • QB (SAC, PAC, ACC)
  • HB (TRK, AGI, SPD)

Pro Tip

The Dolphins’ playbook is another that only improves with the presence of a mobile QB. You don’t need a speedster, but the ability to pick up a first down when scrambling on third and 5 is important.

Defense

The Dolphins have all of the traditional defensive Formations of a 4-3 playbook, so generating pressure without using too many exotic blitzes will be important. If you play an opponent with a spread passing game who loaded up on receivers, use the Dollar 3-2-6.

Key Formation

The 46 Bear Under provides a unique look to most defenses and can shut down the inside run if the 4-3 Wide 9 isn’t getting it done!

Key Player

DT with 90+ PMV

Formations

  • 4-3: Stack, Under, Over, Over Plus, Wide 9
  • 46: Bear Under
  • Nickel: Normal, Double A Gap, Wide 9
  • Dime: Normal
  • Dollar: 3-2-6
  • Quarter: Normal, 3 Deep

DEFENSIVE Draft Targets

  • DT (PMV, STR, TAK)
  • SS (PRC, PUR, POW)
  • DE (SPD, FMV, ACC)

Pro Tip

The Dolphins have some really wide alignments on defense, so don’t go for strength off the edge; look for speed instead.
