Madden Offensive Tips

Singleback – Ace Pair Twins – Inside Cross
You’re primary target should be the (B,Circle) receiver as he crosses the
middle with a precision up pass.
You’re back up is the (A,X) receiver with a lead pass.
In some cases, if the safety does not pick up your (X,Square) receiver,
and he is leading his man, don’t be afraid to give him a lead bullet pass
for a huge gain.

Singleback – Ace Pair twins – PA CTR Waggle (Man Coverage)
Hot route left on the d-pad the (Y,Triangle) receiver. Hike the ball,
scramble left (if HB makes the block) and give the Y receiver a lead pass

Singleback – Ace Pair Twins – Steelers Screen
This is a great HB screen play, which I have found very effective. Simply
make the pass if the HB is open and take off towards any open space

Singleback – Bunch – Stick
I prefer to use this play for an easy 4-5 yard pick up. Simply hit your (A,X)
receiver after he completes his curl.
You’re other option is to give a precision up pass to the (B,Circle)
receiver if you feel he has the upper hand on his man. If there is a safety
nearby, don’t even try as this usually leads to an ineterception.

Singleback – Bunch – Corner Strike (Man pressed coverage)
The (A,X) receiver and the (Y,Triangle) receiver’s crossing patterns
should create a disruption with the defense. I prefer to scramble to the
right and hit the Y receiver with a lead pass, but make sure to consider
the (B,Circle) receiver if his man is behind him.

Singleback- Bunch – Counter Weak
This is a great run play if you notice the defense is overloading on the
trips side. If you us this play in along with the previous passing ones, you
can surprise the defense with a nice 8-10 yard run.

Singleback – Bunch – PA Boot Over
Hot route right on the d-pad the (Y,Triangle) receiver. If the defense is in
man, he should be wide open towards the sideline.
If not, the (A,X) receiver should be open up the middle for a precision up
pass.

Singleback – Bunch – Deep post
If you’ve noticed, I have almost all the above plays targeting the
receivers on the right. You can set this play up by running the above
plays first and then surprising the defense with this one. This can be an
easy 20-25 yard pick up by making the completion to the (X,Square)
receiver up the middle (Precision up and lead)

Gun – Empty Steeler – WR Comebacks (Zone coverage)
This might be my most used play in Pitt’s playbook. Normally, the (LB,L1)
receiver is open on his curl for a nice 8-9 yard pick up. If he is covered,
here is when this play becomes unstoppable. The (A,X) receiver runs the
best route in the game if you can get the timing down.
The key is to give him a bullet pass with precision towards the sideline as
soon as he makes his cut towards the sideline.
If you timed it right, he will continue running and make the catch with
open field in front of him 9/10 times.
