Just like in any other modern sports sim, tactics play an important role in Madden NFL 25. In order to succeed against the very best, players will need to find an offensive playbook that compliments both their own individual play style and the team that they have at their disposal, which can be a lot easier said than done.

The best Madden NFL 25 slider settings can provide players with a gameplay experience that manages to be both realistic and challenging.
The best offensive playbooks in Madden NFL 25 can help give players the edge, either through their incredible versatility or the strong emphasis that they place on one particular element of the game. With more than 40 available, it can be difficult to know where to get started, so to help, we've narrowed it down to what we believe are the three best options.
The Best Offensive Playbooks in Madden 25
Playbook | Pros |
|---|---|
 Green Bay Packers (M. LaFleur) | The Green Bay Packers probably have the best offensive playbook in Madden NFL 25, at least when it comes to balance. It offers excellent options for both passing and rushing, with its Gun formation likely to dominate competitive play for the foreseeable future. Its motion-based plays can be a real game-changer too, although figuring out how and when to best use them may take a little bit of practice. |
 Miami Dolphins (M. McDaniel) | The Miami Dolphins playbook can be very hard to read, thanks both to its cheat plays and the fact that many of its pages are new to the franchise. The former makes the Dolphins playbook a great option for risk-takers, but it's arguably the latter that makes it one of the best offensive playbooks in Madden 25, at least until other players begin to figure it out. The key here is to keep the opposition guessing by regularly changing things up. |
 Cincinnati Bengals (Z. Taylor) | The Cincinnati Bengals playback is built mainly around passing, with a decent mixture of Singleback and Shotgun formations available. It can sometimes struggle to penetrate opposition teams with strong secondaries like the Browns, the Jets, and the Dolphins, but offers a decent amount of options when it comes to exploiting weaknesses. The Bunch X Nasty formation provides an excellent foundation, from which players can build offensive plays that target gaps in the other team's defense. |
The best offensive playbooks in Madden 25 will vary from player to player, based not only on the way that they choose to play the game but also on the team that they have at their disposal. For example, the Bengals playbook will be pretty useless if the player or their QB sucks at passing, while the Dolphins playbook becomes far too easy to counter if players are constantly trying to use cheat plays. Understanding the strengths and limitations of each playbook can therefore be vital.
