The Arizona playbook works well with a capable QB.

If you’re looking to play the passing game, the Arizona playbook offers all the tools for the job. The Wildcats run a tight end formation with three receivers overloading one side of the field. When paired with plays like Slants, Drive Wheel, and PA Shot Wheel, you’ll have up to five different routes which will make it difficult for any defense to keep track of.

The playbook also has a number of RPO plays including Peek Slant, Alert Shock, and Peek Post that can surprise the defensive line.

Alabama Crimson Tide

If you want access to meta plays, the Alabama playbook is a great option.

It’s no surprise that the third-best offense in College Football 25 uses an excellent offensive playbook. The Crimson Tides make use of Shotgun plays that are easy to pick up and have tight end routes that make zone coverage difficult. This playbook is more focused on feeding deep receivers and gaining hefty yardage, instead of slowly advancing up the field.

The Bunch TE and Trips TE were a central part of Madden 24’s meta, which is another advantage of the Alabama playbook.

UNLV
