It’s worth noting that not every playbook fits every team, especially one that you put together that has its quirks. For example, your team may have one of the best Wide Receivers in the league, so a good offensive playbook for you would revolve around passing plays. Depending on the top athletes in Madden 25 that you have, each playbook may have a varying amount of appeal.

Some of the best offensive playbooks for any team in Madden 25 include:

  • Consistently strong playbook with meta strategies
  • Little bit of everything, extremely balanced
  • Very hard for opponents to defend

  • No real specializations in running or passing
  • Somewhat predictable patterns
  • Limited to only one or two formations, not much flexibility

Green Bay Packers

  • Strong running and passing plays in equal measure
  • Has all the strongest formations (Trips Tight End, Shotgun, etc.)
  • Perfect for competitive play

  • Short list of overall plays
  • Over reliance on passing formations more than rushing

San Francisco 49ers

No matter what playbook you want, there may be others with interesting formations or strategies you may want to look for. The Seattle Seahawks, for example, have a lot of good plays surrounding the powerful Trips Tight End formation, which has always been strong in the series. Similar to College Football 25, you’ll want to find a playbook that has not everything you need, but the things you want to use the most.

Anyone can create a custom offensive playbook by going to the “Creation Center” menu when starting up the game. From here, head toward the “Playbooks” subsection to see several options available to you, including one that says “Create Offense.” This menu will show you all the offensive playbooks in the game, as you may have seen before while searching for the best ones in Madden 25.

You need to pick an offensive playbook and adjust the plays within it to customize a gameplan that suits your team. You can only create playbooks out of pre-existing strategies since you are not allowed to make one from scratch. Take the existing framework that appeals to you the most and add plays from other playbooks that would suit the best players joining you for a current season of games.

Every playbook you choose as your foundation has a limit to how many plays can be added to it. Try to subtract plays that don’t match your team, such as a weak running play if you have one of the best Wide Receivers in Madden 25.

Molding a playbook to include tons of strong offensive plays will help you often score as your team adjusts to an opponent’s defense. The best offensive playbooks in Madden NFL 25 are designed to target the weaknesses in an enemy team, depending on the strengths you display during a game.
