Madden NFL 24: Best Offensive Playbooks, Formations And Plays

Attaining substantial success in Madden NFL 24 heavily relies on your skills as an offensive playcaller, as mastering offense is a formidable challenge. Defensive players quickly decipher plays, leaving minimal room to navigate through narrow openings.

Furthermore, your offensive line frequently contends with the supremacy of the opposing defensive line, constraining your running game to minimal gains and creating immediate pressure during passing plays.

Madden NFL 24 New England Patriots Playbook

The Patriots playbook boasts significant advantages, mainly its numerous run-heavy formations that allow you to establish a formidable ground game and set the stage for explosive plays with play-action maneuvers. Key examples include formations like Weak I and Strong I.

Additionally, the Shotgun Trips TE and Trips TE Flex formations provide versatile route options to exploit any defensive coverage. To make the most of this playbook, it's essential to have two skilled tight ends who excel at both blocking and receiving with agility.

Madden NFL 24 New Orleans Saints Playbook

One of the best plays in Madden NFL 24 is Bench, a play that skilled opponents will frequently employ against you throughout the game. It originates from the Shotgun Tight Offset TE formation and is a highlight in the Saints playbook.

The Saints playbook stands out for good reasons – it features top-tier run plays like 01 Trap and HB Quick Base.

However, one minor drawback is the absence of Taysom Hill formations seen in the Madden NFL 22, which were notably formidable QB Power Run Plays.

Madden NFL 24 Spread And Run N Gun Playbook

In addition to team playbooks, there are alternative offensive playbooks with specific themes, such as Spread (excluding plays where the QB lines up under center, except for goal-line plays) and Run Heavy (limited to only six shotgun formations).

Run N Gun revolves significantly around RPO (Run-Pass Option) and offers an enjoyable experience. It stands out as the exclusive playbook featuring the Wildcat Trips Over formation – a must-try for players.

Spread is the playbook with the most trap run play calls, such as 01 Trap or 56 Trap. These run plays are the best in Madden, in our opinion, because the pulling guard often blocks perfectly.

Spread, however, is largely based on passing plays with 4 or 5 wide receivers on the field, so if you want to throw the ball all the time, give this playbook a try.
