The Gun Bunch X Nasty is a shotgun formation in Madden that is known for its ability to create mismatches and give the offense an advantage. The formation features three receivers (1TE, 2WR) bunched together on one side of the field, with a fourth receiver tight lined up on the other side. This creates a lot of traffic for the defense to deal with, and can make it difficult for them to cover all the receivers.
