Here is the exact information to run the Power Alert Glance:

From there, all you'll need to do is tuck the ball and run, if you have a fast quarterback you're likely to get at least ten yards. The most we got in a single play was a 33-yard run with Teddy Bridgewater.

Why did this play need to be banned?

Some may be wondering why this play needed to be banned in Madden Ultimate Team competition games. The answer is simple, it just works too well.

The defense doesn't react to the quarterback until he passes the line of scrimmage, by that point they're too far behind. A few good blocks and a quick quarterback and it's an easy first down.
