Madden 25 Playbook Database Enthusiasts:

Incase you and me haven’t met, you can call me Manu.

Growing up, my friends always called me “Manu Ginobili” (former NBA player) because they said I looked him haha and the name has stuck since then.

Now even though I didn’t become a pro basketball player…

I DID become a 3x Professional Madden Champion and served as a coach for over 230 beginners and intermediate players like you.

It’s nice meeting you though and we’ll talk more after I gift you what you came for.

***BIG Surprise waiting for you at the end***

Best Abilities To Use For The Madden 25 Playbooks:

  1. Short In Elite
  2. Short feet lead
  3. Fearless

32. Arizona Cardinals Playbook Madden 25

  1. Best Offensive Formation: Gun Cluster
  2. Best Defensive Formation: Nickel 2-4 Dbl Mug
  3. Best Offense Play: PA READ
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: PA Read
  7. Best Run Play: Singleback Wing Pair – Stretch
Best Passing Play/Best Offense Play In Cardinals Playbook

Best Defense Play In Arizona Cardinals Playbook

If you are a raving Cardinals fan and want to support your favorite team then this playbook has solid options for you like Gun Cluster.

However, the best offensive formation in Cardinals reeks in comparison to other formations.

Due to the inability to block pressure off the TE side in their best formation, Cardinals playbook earns the worst spot in the Madden 25 Playbooks list.

31. New York Giants Playbook

  1. Best Offense Formation: Gun Trips TE
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel 2-4 Dbl Mug
  3. Best Offense Play: Verticals
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: Verticals
  7. Best Run Play: Gun Trips TE – Inside Zone
Best Offensive Scheme = Gun Trips TE

You can never go wrong with Trips TE. It’s one of the best offensive formations EVERY year.

However Giants Playbook doesn’t have one of the best Trips TE because it’s missing the best play: PA Slot Corner.

Now this isn’t the article to explain WHY, when, and how to run these plays but…

If you consider yourself an intellectual, check out my free course below deep diving into Madden’s strategic aspects.

30. Chicago Bears Playbook

  1. Best Offense Formation: Shotgun Snugs Flip
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel Over
  3. Best Offense Play: Bench Swap
  4. Best Defense Play: Over Storm Brave
  5. Best Blitz: Overstorm Brave
  6. Best Pass Play: Bench Swamp
  7. Best Run Play: Singleback Deuce Close – HB Stretch
Best Defensive Scheme = Nickel Over

Chicago Bears Playbook easily could of been the worst playbook on the Madden 25 playbooks list.

It’s offense playbook is the opposite of the best playbook. No great stock routes that attack the 1st space or 3rd space on the field.

You can learn more about my never before seen “9 spaces of the field system” that simplifies reading defenses in my free course ($95 value).

29. San Francisco 49ers Playbook

  1. Best Offense Formation: Gun Split Close
  2. Best Defense Formation: Dollar 3-2
  3. Best Offense Play: HB Wheel
  4. Best Defense Play: Cover 3 Cloud Show 2
  5. Best Blitz: DB Fire 2 – Dollar
  6. Best Pass Play: HB Wheel
  7. Best Run Play: FB Inside – Split Close
Best Offensive Scheme = Gun Split Close

8 years ago when I was coming up on the competitive scene, I pioneered the Split Close scheme with several original concepts.

So I can confidently tell you that Split Close was good years ago but leaves a lot to be desired today.

And for that I rank 49ers playbook as one of the worst playbooks since Split close is 49ers best offense.

The top 3 best offenses/best formations are:

  1. Gun Bunch
  2. Gun Trips TE
  3. Gun Tight

28. Green Bay Packers Playbook

  1. Best Offense Formation: Gun Tight Offset TE
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel 2-4 Dbl Mug
  3. Best Offense Play: Y-Out – Gun Tight Offset TE
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: Y-Out
  7. Best Run Play: O1 Trap – Gun Tight Offset TE
Best Offensive Scheme = Y Out

I’m sure you are wondering why I haven’t brought up the best defensive schemes in the equation more.

Unfortunately there are only so many “sugar concepts” (a concept I invented in Madden 21 that ignited many new defensive metas).

Overall though, mid blitz is always one of the best defenses in Madden.

Plus packers playbook has the best gun tight offset but it’s forms are limited beyond that.

27. Cincinnati Bengals Playbook

  1. Best Offense Formation: Shotgun Bunch Offset
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel Double Mg
  3. Best Offense Play: Verts HB Under
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: Verts HB Under
  7. Best Run Play: SB Wing Flex Close – HB Stretch
Money Play -> Verts HB Under

Bengals has a top 3 offensive formation BUT there are 21 Gun Bunches in Madden 25.

Unfortunately, Bengals has very few stock routes that attack the 1st and 3rd spaces on the field.

26. Denver Broncos Playbook

  1. Best Offensive Scheme: Shotgun Doubles HB Wk
  2. Best Defense Scheme: Nickel 3-3 Cub
  3. Best Offense Play: Shake HB Corner – Doubles HB Wk
  4. Best Defense Play: Mike Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mike Blitz 0 in Nickel 3-3 Cub
  6. Best Pass Play: Shake HB Corner – Shotgun Doubles HB Wk
  7. Best Run Play: Read Option – Doubles HB Wk
Best Play = Shake HB Corner

Broncos playbook has an underrated offensive formation in “Shotgun Doubles HB Wk.”

However, it’s stock routes lack the red hot glamor of the best offensive plays.

25. Tennessee Titans Playbook

  1. Best Offense Formation: Shotgun Bunch
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel 2-4 Dbl Mug
  3. Best Offense Play: Y Curl – Shotgun Bunch
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: Y Curl – Shotgun Bunch
  7. Best Run Play: HB Base – Bunch
Best Money Play -> Y Curl

I ranked Titans Playbook right next to Broncos Playbook because their glaring issues align.

Bunch is the best formation but the bunch in Titans isn’t good.

***Reminder***: You will learn “the WHY” behind these sentiments in my 3 hour course.

24. Jacksonville Jaguars Playbook

  1. Best Offense Formation: Shotgun Bunch
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel 2-4 Dbl Mug
  3. Best Offense Play: Shotgun Bunch – Cross
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: Shotgun Bunch – Cross
  7. Best Run Play: Singleback Deuce Close – HB Stretch
Jaguars Ebook Play = Cross

Another buncher…

However I ranked Jaguars slighter high than the Madden 25 playbooks above because it’s “B” route attacks the 4th space of the field.

It’s very rare to find stock routes that attack the 4th and 6th spaces on the field.

23. Minnesota Vikings Playbook

  1. Best Offense Formation: Shotgun Tight Flex
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel 2-4 Dbl Mug
  3. Best Offense Play: Shotgun Tight Flex – Cross
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: Shotgun Tight Flex – Cross
  7. Best Run Play: Singleback Doubles South – HB Dive
Vikings Offensive Ebook = Cross

Tight flex was one of the best offensive formations back in Madden 17 due to the infamous “Y Route”…

Also known as the 50 yard crosser that no zone guarded.

In Madden 25 though, tight flex is a solid option but not one of the best schemes.

22. Dallas Cowboys Playbook (Cowboys Offense And Cowboys Defense)

  1. Best Offense Formation: Gun Trips TE
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel 2-4 Dbl Mug
  3. Best Offense Play: Verticals
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: Verticals
  7. Best Run Play: Gun Trips TE – Inside Zone

Cowboys playbook is very similar to Giants playbook (ranked #31).

However, the biggest difference is Cowboys has PA slot corner, one of the best money plays because it attacks the 1st space of the field.

21. Kansas City Chiefs Playbook (Chiefs Offense And Chiefs Defense)

  1. Best Offense Formation: Shotgun Bunch TE
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel Over
  3. Best Offense Play: Shotgun Bunch TE – PA Boot Over
  4. Best Defense Play: Over Storm Brave
  5. Best Blitz: Over Storm Brave
  6. Best Pass Play: Shotgun Bunch TE – PA Boot Over
  7. Best Run Play: Gun Trips TE – Inside Zone
Madden 25 money play

Finally we arrive at Bunch TE. Bunch TE just missed my list for top 3 best formations.

However it’s not far behind the Big 3 especially when you have an ultra lethal play like PA Boot Over.

20. Las Vegas Raiders Playbook (Raiders Offense And Raiders Defense)

  1. Best Offense Formation: Shotgun U Trips Wk
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel 2-4 Dbl Mug
  3. Best Offense Play: Shotgun U Trips Wk – Curl Flats
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: Shotgun U Trips Wk – Curl Flats
  7. Best Run Play: Shotgun Trips TE – Inside Zone
Madden 25 UTrips

U-trips was pioneered by my good pro friend “Dcroft”. It’s a sneaky good form that has the capability to attack all 9 spaces of the field.

19. Los Angeles Chargers Playbook (Chargers Offense And Chargers Defense)

  1. Best Offense Formation: Gun Tight Offset
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel 2-4
  3. Best Offense Play: Gun Tight Offset – Spot
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: Gun Tight Offset – Spot
  7. Best Run Play: Gun Tight Offset – 01 Trap
Madden 25 Best Play

Gun tight offset is one of the 5 best offenses in Madden 25.

And if you’re a Chargers fan who is more loyal to this playbook than a 13 year old to his phone (not sure why I’m attacking 13 year olds when I have 10 hour screen times) consider yourself lucky.

Chargers tight offset is one of the best formations in the game.

18. Miami Dolphins Playbook (Dolphins Offense And Dolphins Defense)

  1. Best Offense Formation: Strong I Close
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel 2-4 Dbl Mug
  3. Best Offense Play: Strong I Close – HB Stretch
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: Strong I Close – Mesh Post
  7. Best Run Play: Strong I Close – HB Stretch
Madden 25 Best Run Play

Runner Heavy Players: Hey, I still love you. Sorry I know I been showing a lot more love to passers.

(((But there’s a deep strategic reason behind why passing plays are inherently better to master than running plays)))

17. Los Angeles Rams Playbook (Rams Offense And Rams Defense)

  1. Best Offense Formation: Shotgun Bunch Offset
  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel 2-4
  3. Best Offense Play: Shotgun Bunch Offset – Mesh Post
  4. Best Defense Play: Mid Blitz 0
  5. Best Blitz: Mid Blitz 0
  6. Best Pass Play: Shotgun Bunch Offset – Y Trail
  7. Best Run Play: Singleback Trips – HB Stretch
Madden 25 Beat The Blitz

Rams Playbook has the infamous bunch formation and one of the best plays: mesh post.

If you need to beat the blitz in Madden 25 – mesh post will be one of your best plays.

  6. Best Pass Play: Shotgun Bunch Offset – Double Post

  1. Best Offense Formation: Shotgun Bunch

  2. Best Defense Formation: Nickel 2-4 Dbl Mug
  3. Best Offense Play: Stick from Bunch

CURVEBALL for the #1 spot. I know, I’ve been riding Gun Bunch like a… (never mind)

Run heavy playbook is the only book with this Inside Switch play that has a sweet sharp cutting post that attacks the 5th space of the field.

Obviously it easily attacks all 9 spaces too.

Now the 12 strategic fundamentals behind WHY this is the best formation would take some time to explain.

But I haven’t even got to the best part for you yet…

My $57,386 Tourney Crushing Secret Behind The Madden 25 Playbooks:

Now everyone else on Youtube and “pro” e-book sites can tell you WHAT the best Madden 25 plays are.

That is easy. But you need a lot deeper understanding than that to be a confident cold blooded competitive player.

You are a strategic thinker who desires to grasp the chess match behind the game.

The Madden Academy is different because we don’t just spoon feed you water downed money plays that expire in 1 month once the meta changes.

You should be pissed because every other site out there is robbing you of hundreds AND hundreds of dollars.

They forcefully grab you by the throat and scream…

“RUN THESE 5 PLAYS IN MY OFFENSIVE PLAYBOOK OR YOU’LL NEVER WIN”

It’s locked up in the back of the smallest darkest prison cell CRIMINAL that these sites get away with it.

BUT we are on a mission to break you from this prison of thought.

Your Next Step To Becoming A Competitive Player Even If You Work 70 Hour Weeks Or Barely Know The Controls
(Skipping This Will Set Your Madden Game Back 20 Years)

Me About To Win My 3rd Professional Title

You and me (Manu) have a lot in common.

Let me share a quick backstory that’ll make your Madden life 10x easier moving forward.

Like you, 12 years ago I was searching around for some help on the game.

I was made to believe learning money plays was the best way to become competitive.

I mean shit, all you saw on Youtube was “UNSTOPPABLE 1 PLAY TOUCHDOWN GLITCH VS. EVERY COVERAGE.”

It wasn’t until I met my mentor “AthleticCedes” (who ACTUALLY knew Madden) that my entire view of Madden shifted.

This guy was winning cold hard cash off the game.

And I wasn’t no slouch myself at the time (Madden 25). I was consistently ranked top 5 on the head to head leaderboards for 3 years.

From my shortsighted view then, I thought I was the best player ever.

Then in Madden 25, I matched up with the gamertag “AthleticCedes”…

He was different from everyone else I ever matched up with.

And when I say different, I mean I had to be playing the forthcoming of jesus.

What Your Game Will Look Like If You Learn The 12 Fundamentals From A Credible Competitive Player


His reads were superhuman. 20/20 laser vision like a fictional superhero from a movie.

His receivers parted like the 7 seas rendering my user useless as each receiver was perfectly spaced out (great route combinations).

His pocket presence, impeccable. Enough time back there for a calm relaxing family picnic.

His defensive schemes were so beautifully engineered and disguised that a prophet from 2050 couldn’t predict what he was doing next.

His defenders came in multiples. All his db’s stalked my wr’s like a crazy ex gf.

His user defender moved so eloquently and freely that it could have passed for a figure skater in the Olympics.

His adjustments were so precisely timed and lockdown that he might as well have been living in my head.

Yeah… the guy was pretty good. I didn’t set the record for my most points lost by or anything.

I was so puzzled. I just had to speak to this guy. I didn’t know it was possible for someone to be that good.

I wanted to be that good.

I wanted to have those 45 minutes of fame where the game starts and every exterior thought unrelated to Madden vanished like a ghost.

I wanted to have those experiences where for those 45 minutes, I am transported to a seemingly different dimension where I am just untouchable.

What if it was possible to erase the personal hardships of reality and be transcended into a mode of invincibility?

Why Listening To Random Youtubers And Sites Is Handicapping Your Madden Game


Luckily, Athletic accepted my party invite so we could chat.

What he told me overrode all 4 years of previous knowledge that I accumulated from all my favorite Madden Youtubers.

I realized everything I had ever learned from any Madden Youtuber was as useless as Shaquille O’Neal at the free throw line.

“Manu get to the fucking point!!”

Sorry guys, I have ADHD.

Anyways, he told me there was an entire undercover world of competitive players.

So more guys like him with the superhuman reads, playcalls, and adjustments.

But what was most alarming, none of those competitive players he mentioned do Youtube so I had no one credible to learn from.

Even worse, the few competitive players I later found were teaching the game the same damn way everyone on Youtube did.

The difference was the competitive players knew that the money plays was not their secret to success…

However the last thing they wanted to do was reveal their strategic fundamental secrets to the public.

They knew it was the fundamentals separating them from the rest of the world.

So releasing e-book money plays were the feasible option because they still got paid without releasing their secrets to success.

They were afraid of getting passed up.

Plus, the money plays change every month.

So if I were to have bought 4 e-books per year for the next 10 years to keep pace with the everchanging metas, it would of cost me $1000 to not even strategically learn the game.

Will they sometimes give you a quick boost in confidence for a couple games? Sure.

But to me, buying e-books to fix a problem with losing games would be like leaning on hardcore drugs to overcome the loss of a best friend.

You may get a short high but at what cost? Does it actually solve your problem or does it mask it?

I may have gotten a couple more wins with an e-book but what would’ve happened when I played another AthleticCedes?

I knew ebooks would completely impair my ability to think for myself so I wasn’t go to step foot down that treacherous path.

Athletic wasn’t going to teach me step-by-step how to master the fundamentals either…

However he got me headed in the right direction and I learned from him what I needed to focus on:

Basic knowledge of what each zone defenders
Conceptually understanding how to attack every coverage
Building a solid base scheme to start games with on defense
Correctly reading defenses before and after snaps to determine my upcoming playcalls
Pocket presence mastery to buy more time
On-the-fly adjustments
And best believe there was much, much, more…

I knew it was not going to be easy trying to figure everything out on my own but I was still a young kid at the time with loads of free time.

My plan was to throw myself into the fire and just start playing money games vs. everyone.

Fast forward a decade or so… It didn’t turn out to be too bad of a plan…

(This is not to brag or boast but to show you have I have the proven track record to coach up the next big competitive player again)

I became a well-respected 3x professional champion…

So you can finally experience those transitions into “invincibility mode” to escape the stress of real life.

So for those 1 or 2 hours of downtime per night your thoughts to the world around you are cut off…

And it’s just you focused on kicking the absolute dog shit out of that braindead money play spammer who used to kick your shit in…

Imagine how satisfying it would be to do that on a nightly basis every time.
