Every player has experienced the frustration of feeling completely ineffective against the defense in Madden NFL 24. Even skilled players can encounter a sudden roadblock where they can't find any open receivers or running lanes.
This is because opponents are utilizing the perfect defensive playbook. Madden NFL 24 offers a range of options, but there are always a few playbooks that consistently generate more turnovers and restrict yards per play. Choosing a playbook that doesn't include these plays will only lead to trouble.
The Best Defensive Playbooks In Madden NFL 24
Raiders
Rams
Creativity in the game of football holds significant value. When opposing teams gain full knowledge of the actions of their adversaries on each play, it becomes effortless to analyze and break down the team's strategy. However, this does not impose any restrictions on the playbook. Every team incorporates unconventional plays that surprise the best defensive ends by forcing them into coverage or creating opportunities for wide receivers during a cornerback blitz. It is a challenging task to discover plays within defensive formations that do not possess an element of unpredictability.
But ultimately, gamers must consistently deploy their strongest players on the field. The most successful teams employ both their outside linebackers aggressively attacking, assign one or two tackles to effectively block the opponents, and position a right and left defensive end. Furthermore, they strategically align their top coverage players to intercept any swift passes. It is also beneficial to have at least one safety who excels at intercepting balls or halting unexpected explosive plays.
The best linebackers excel in the Nickel 3-3 Cub OLB Blitz 1, 3-4 Bear Will Sam 1, and 4-3 Even 6-1 Sam Will Blitz plays. It is wise to rotate between these three plays to prevent opponents from adjusting. The Raiders, Rams, and Vikings are the only teams with all three plays in their playbook, giving them an advantage in utilizing their top players. Madden NFL 24 is set to launch on August 18th, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
