Madden NFL 16 Guide › Draft Champions Mode

Seattle Seahawks

Offense

For players who want a power-run-style offense without sacrificing the shotgun Formations, Seattle is a great selection.

Key Formation

Gun Ace Offset can be an every-down formation if you establish the run game from shotgun and learn to use play action. The Read Option in this formation really adds another dimension if you grab a mobile QB in the draft.

Key Player

While a back with 90+ Trucking is ideal, the real key is a QB who has 80+ Speed and will force the defense to commit a defender to slowing him down.

Formations

  • Singleback: Deuce Wing, Ace Pair, Ace Pair Flex, Bunch Ace, Hawk Doubles
  • I-Form: H Pro, H Slot, H Tight, H Twin Pair
  • Strong: H TE Flip, H Slot Flex, H Pair TE
  • Pistol: Strong Slot, Ace, Doubles Flex Wing
  • Gun: Split Hawk, Ace Offset, Ace Twins Offset, Doubles Wing Offset, Doubles Wing Wk, Y-Trips Hawk, Wing Offset Wk, Trio Offset, Bunch Wk, Tight Slots, Double Stack, Spread Y-Slot, Trey Y-Flex, Trips Y Iso, Empty Hawk

OFFENSIVE Draft Targets

  • HB (TRK, STR, CAR)
  • QB (SPD, PAC, SAC)
  • C (STR, RBK, IPB)

Pro Tip

Picking up a QB who has some speed can really frustrate opponents who think they have the HB stopped only to see the QB keep the ball on a read.

Defense

The mix of coverages in the Seattle playbook is outstanding if you score a rangy FS. Otherwise, find a defensive line that can overwhelm the offensive line with speed.

Key Formation

The 46 Bear Under is a great way to test your opponent’s commitment to the run game early.

Key Player

OLB with 90+ Acceleration

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

  • FS (SPD, MCV, ZCV)
  • OLB (SPD, ACC, FMV)
  • CB (ZCV, MCV, PRS)

Pro Tip

Even without drafting a dominant secondary, you should be able to mix up your coverages enough to confuse your opponent for a half.
