Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with Madden 23 lately, trying to figure out the best offensive scheme, you know? It’s a bit of a headache, but I think I’ve finally cracked it, at least for my play style. Started off just jumping into games, getting my butt kicked, and honestly, it wasn’t pretty.
First, I tried a bunch of different playbooks. Like, I went through almost all of them. The Rams playbook, that’s a popular one. It’s got a ton of formations, especially in single back. You got your Y trips, duece close, wing flex, all that good stuff. And their gun bunch is pretty solid, too. It feels like it has everything. So I ran with that for a while, and yeah, it was okay. I could move the ball, score some points, but it didn’t feel… special. It felt like everyone and their mom was using the same stuff.
Digging Deeper
Then I started messing with the schemes themselves. See, it’s not just about the playbook; it’s how the playbook fits your scheme and your players. Like, if you got a speedy quarterback who can scramble, but your playbook is all about pocket passing, you’re gonna have a bad time. Trust me, I learned that the hard way.
I tried to find some stuff online, and a lot of people seemed to be into the Patriots’ playbook. Apparently, it has some of the best formations in the game, especially in the Gun. Now, I’m not the biggest Pats fan, but hey, if it works, it works, right? So, I switched over and started practicing.
I also saw some folks talking about the Chiefs playbook combined with the “Vertical Zone Run” scheme for offense, and “base 4-3” for defense. The idea is that your QB can rack up the yards. Sounded good in theory, so I gave that a shot, too.
My “Eureka” Moment
After all that experimenting, I realized that for me, it is all about the Patriots offensive playbook. They just have so many options in the Gun. It’s crazy! I can run, I can pass, I can do play action, I can quick pass to my receiver… it just feels like I can do anything with it. It took a while to get used to the new plays, and I definitely made some dumb mistakes. But I stuck with it, kept practicing, and slowly but surely, things started clicking.
I am not a huge fan of simulation mode, but I did try the Chiefs playbook, and it’s not bad. I can see why people like it for a balanced attack. But honestly, for my money, the Patriots playbook, especially with those Gun formations, is where it’s at.
So, here’s the bottom line: If you’re looking for the best offensive scheme in Madden 23, at least in my experience, give the Patriots playbook a try, and really learn those Gun formations. It might take some time, but it’s worth it. You’ll be shredding defenses in no time. Just remember to choose a scheme that fits your play style, and don’t be afraid to experiment! It’s all about finding what works for you.
- Tried: Rams playbook (too common)
- Experimented: Chiefs playbook with “Vertical Zone Run” (good for simulation, not my style)
- Landed on: Patriots playbook (Gun formations are amazing!)
It’s been a journey, but I feel like I finally have a handle on the offensive side of things in Madden 23. I’m actually winning games consistently now, and it’s way more fun. Hopefully, my little experiment here helps some of you guys out there who are struggling. Good luck, and have fun on the gridiron!
