Become an offensive juggernaut and make your opponents quit by scoring on every drive
We all know that defense wins championships, but it’s the offense that scores all the points. You may not know which offensive playbook is the best for you, well this is where this article comes into play. Study up on the best offensive playbooks to use in Madden and go dominate your opponents.
The Indianapolis Colts offensive playbook features a great balance between the pass and run with the majority of their plays being run out of the singleback formation. The Colts get their big yardage from running plays in the shotgun formation. They have help by having Andrew Luck, T.Y. Hilton, Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle.
How to use this playbook:
Stay true to the singleback and shotgun formation, with a good quarterback (such as Andrew Luck) and some good receivers you will be fine.
Whether or not you use the Colts, having a good receiving core is key to making this playbook work.
If you choose not to use the Colts then make sure the team that you use has a good offensive line to keep your quarterback standing upright.
We all know that the Packers are a powerhouse team due to their offensive game. The shotgun formation is their main set which almost accounts for over half of their offensive game plan. With a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers you would expect the Packers to rely heavily on their shotgun formation making them a pass heavy team.
How to use this playbook:
Stick to the shotgun formation and play out of that set.
The heavy use of passing plays from this formation will allow you to fool the defense and call an audible and hit them in the mouth with a running play.
The use of Green Bay will be smart because you have quarterback Aaron Rodgers at the helm, then you have offensive weapons such as Devante Adams, Jimmy Graham, Aaron Jones, David Bakhtiari, Bryan Bulaga and Corey Linsley.
The Saints have been a dominating force on offense with some of the top players in the league on the offense. But with so much talent you need to have a great playbook to use. Their shotgun formation provides many plays with the corner route that can beat cover 2 and cover 3 defenses.
How to use this playbook:
Go to the shotgun formation and primarily work on plays that have a corner route in there because that is where your bread and butter is.
Playing with the Saints is amazing because you have Drew Brees, Micheal Thomas, Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook and Tedd Ginn.
This is a pass heavy offense that allows you to beat other teams secondary.
The Baltimore Ravens are undeniably one the best running teams in Madden 20. Their use of the singleback, I-formation, and the Power I Strong allows the offensive to dominate defenses with the run. This playbook benefits the likes of a mobile quarterback, which is the primary reason that Lamar Jackson is so comfortable running this offense. Don’t think this is a primary run team because they do have great passing sets in the shotgun formation.
How to use this playbook:
Using the Ravens is the best choice for this playbook, but you can use another team that has a mobile quarterback.
Your main yardage gain is going to come from the singleback and the I-Form.
With Lamar Jackson you can do some read option plays and either hand off the ball or keep it and fake out the defense.
In case you're searching for a balanced playbook in Madden 20, that can flawlessly blend it up among running and passing, at that point look no farther than the Oakland Raiders playbook. There's a huge load of various developments in the Raiders playbook such as Singleback, Weak, I Form, and Shotgun.
How to use this playbook:
The best running play would be HBO Power O (Singleback Wing Tight U) is a strong running play that allows you to pull a guard from the left.
The next best running play would be the HB Toss (I Form Close) is a great play for cutting your running back to the outside that also includes a pulling guard.
The Four Verticals (Shotgun Tight Slot HB Wk) is a great passing play that allows you to motion your slot receivers to the outside and snap the ball before the defense can get set.
The Seattle Seahawks have an awesome passing game that is great in destroying the defense with the deep ball. Russell Wilson can dominate the deep ball thanks to offensive weapons such as D.K. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Luke Wilson and Ed Dickson.
How to use this playbook:
The shotgun formation is the best formation hands down in the Seahawks playbook. The best play to run is Pistol Strong Slots Open: Shakes.
Utilize Russell Wilson to the fullest, even though the Seahawks have a great passing game you can’t forget that Russell Wilson can run and that you have Rashaad Penny in the backfield.
Madden completely underestimated Luke Wilson who is a dominant tight end in real life. Even though he is a 73 overall he has an 86 speed, 90 acceleration, and an 82 agility, he has proven that he is a premiere tight end and you can most definitely use him to your advantage.
There are a ton of fun shotgun formations in the Cardinals playbook, with significantly less single back. Shotgun cluster is an energizing new bundle where the TE isn't joined to the line. An accepting TE and HB will flourish under these spread style plays with a lot of short yardage openings.
How to use this playbook:
Work this offense out of the shotgun cluster, that’s where your best gains are going to come from.
The shotgun formation contains amazing passing plays that can dominate other defenses.
With the right team you can have your way with your opponents so make sure whatever team you use has a strong receiving core and a offensive line that can keep your quarterback upright
This playbook is full of run formations that work incredibly. The Shotguns are altogether mind boggling yet it's the Singleback game plans that destroys defenses. A huge load of these are pretty old as the playbook hasn't changed a lot anyway, but why should it change if it still works for the Panthers.
How to use this playbook:
Stay true to the singleback formation because this is a run heavy team with an incredible running back in the backfield.
Even if you don’t use the Carolina Panthers, I recommend using this playbook with a team full of powerhouse running backs and a strong offensive line.
If you like the old time way of pounding the football down your opponents throat then this is the playbook for you.
This playbook has one of the most imperative offense playbooks in the game. The Shotgun: Bunch Trail play gives you the opportunity to hit the receiver on either the left or right sides when they cut to the sidelines. It also helps to have Tom Brady at the quarterback position.
How to use this playbook:
If you want to win stick with the shotgun formation, this is a true pass heavy team and it is no question why
Your offense is loaded with Julian Eldeman, James White, Sony Michel, Josh Gordon, Demariyus Thomas, and Phillip Dorsett.
Get Tom Brady’s x-factor started and you have a win in the bag, use this team’s playbook to beat your opponent through the air
The use of the 3 I forms are truly a game changer in this offense. Likewise on the off chance that you pass a great deal then you would be fond of the Shotgun Bunch, Eagle Trips, Tight Flex, Trio Offset, etc which can assist you with defeating the contradicting secondaries. The best two developments from this playbook unquestionably would be the Singleback and Shotgun.
How to use this playbook:
Staying true to the 3 I Forms that they have will automatically give you a step ahead on your opponent. But making sure to utilize the shotgun formation will demolish the secondary that you face.
You have Julio Jones who is an absolute monster who will do nothing but rack up the yards especially if you get his x-factor turned on.
You have offensive weapons such as Matt Ryan, Devonte Freeman, Mohamed Sanu Sr., Austin Hooper, and Calvin Ridley. You have the best offense to run with the Atlanta Falcons.
So there you have it to be the best you have to be able to put up points, and the way to do that is to have an offense that can dominate. Study the playbooks, practice with them, and then go demolish whoever dares to challenge you. We all know that defense wins championships, but what’s a team without an offense that can score points.
