Every team in College Football 25 has a different offensive playbook, but only a few stand out as the best. Some teams favor an offense that heavily leans on passing, while others prefer a ground-and-pound style that keeps running backs involved at all times. Even teams with similar approaches have small variations in their plays that make them unique, and these subtle differences can make some better than others.
Here are 5 best offensive playbooks in CFB 25:
Best offensive playbooks in EA College Football 25
#5. Oklahoma State Cowboys
Oklahoma State favors a playbook with a high passing frequency. The Cowboys have a play that many community players consider the most overpowered in the meta: "Shotgun Bunch HB Str." This formation gives players several nearly recoverable options downfield, and a few running plays to choose from.
#4. Michigan Wolverines
Michigan's offensive playbook stands out because of how balanced it is. It provides an even mix of passing and running plays. Additionally, it has several Shotgun setups that allow players to take deep shots downfield. This type of playbook will feel natural to Madden players.
#3. Air Force Falcons
Air Force has one of the most fun playbooks for offense, thanks to its focus on the Flexbone Split. This formation involves the quarterback, five offensive linemen and three running backs. Although it's not commonly used in the NFL, it's exciting for CFB players who enjoy running the ball. The fast-moving play makes it difficult for defenses to react.
#2. Kansas State Wildcats
Kansas State's playbook is perfect for gamers who prefer running the ball, especially with the quarterback. The playbook makes use of quarterback Avery Johnson's speed to open up the defense. Johnson is always a running threat, so when defenses focus on him, it opens up other offensive opportunities.
#1. Arizona Wildcats
Arizona has one of the best offensive playbooks for airing out the ball. The Wildcats are fixated on a pass-oriented offense, and this is noticeable in their playbook.
With 16 Shotgun sets and three Singleback formations, it's a formidable choice for players who want to plant their feet, aim and pass the ball with accuracy. Arizona's signature play is "Wide Bunch," which places three receivers on the far side of the field, making it challenging for defenders to cover all targets.
