How to Change to an Onside Kick in Madden for the PS3

Every entry into the "Madden" football simulation series of video games seeks to give players the next-best thing to playing a real game of football. During a matchup, players can control everything that happens on the field, from calling plays and audibles to controlling each individual player. This level of control extends to kickoffs as well, allowing you to perform an onside kick at any time if you so choose. Switching to an onside kick while playing "Madden" on the PS3 is just like calling any other audible play, requiring only a few button presses.
