How to Spike the Ball in Madden 26
In Madden 26, you can spike the ball in two methods. The simplest approach is to quickly press and hold ‘Circle’ on PS5 or ‘B’ on Xbox once the previous play has ended. This bypasses the screen where you choose the play, placing your offense directly on the field with the ball. However, the formation will vary slightly, positioning your Quarterback behind the center instead of a few yards back. This adjustment is designed to shave crucial seconds off between the ball being hiked and the QB gaining possession, enabling them to spike it more promptly.
