How To Build A Scheme

Designed in Madden 22, this breakdown is CRITICAL for
learning how to build your own scheme in Madden 23

Intro
MUST WATCH
Problem Solving
The Key To Running
Your Own Scheme
Choosing A Formation
Do's and Don'ts
SET UP

This is a step by step guide of
exactly how I have built some of the
best offenses from the ground up over
the past 4 Maddens!

SET UP

- Building your own scheme takes TIME.
- Identify the issues you face in games, and
try to work through them in practice mode!

SET UP

For a formation to even be considered,
it must pass our eye test.

The Keys To Blocking

"Without the ability to block, thou shall not
be able to move that rock" - Civil 2021
Blocking Breakdown
Without this, don't even bother
trying a formation
SET UP

While this can change year to year,
this is the most basic overview of
blocking requirements while building
a scheme

Unique Routes - You need em

"If the routes are not unique, then another formation you need to take a peak" - Civil 2021
Unique Routes
Without these, why run
this formation?
Must Have Routes
Quick guide to the most
effective routes
SET UP

Every formation has specific routes that
EA gives it. Unfortunately, not all formations
are given the same "good" routes as
others

Set Up

Watch this, it is important.

Power Play - Our bread n' butter

"For when Weekend League is getting long, just close
your eyes and play along" - Civil 2021
Power Play
The #1 Play In Our Scheme
SET UP

Think of PA Boot over: Easy set up,
high success rate, works vs everything.
This is what you need to find.

Run Game - Dominate the trenches

"When the game is in doubt, merely let DHen
grind it out" - Civil 2021
Run Game
No matter how good you are,
this will come in handy
Set Up

Inside Zones, Traps, Stretches,
all are great plays to have in your
formation of choice

Quicksnap Play - Catch em' lackin'

"When you suspect the defense may be a' lackin', you better get to snappin'" - Civil 2021
Quick Snap
One adjustment or less
SET UP

The most annoying thing that an offense
can do? Snap the ball as fast as possible.
We want the ability to do that.

One Play TDs - The Missing Piece

"If thou throws thy bomb, he
may be able to pick up a Mom" - Civil 2021
One Play TDs
You want these. You need these.
SET UP

Realistically, this will be the hardest thing
to find. This changes every patch, every Madden,
heck even when new cards comes out. But I
promise it's worth it.

Beating Man Coverage - A Skill

"If it's man that they insist, a single play
is what they will get" - Civil 2021
SET UP

This one is pretty easy this year, it's nearly
universal across most formations. Motion
slant, halfback option

Beating The META - Learn This

"If META is their weapon of choice,
then I guess the CivWave shall rejoice" - Civil 2021
Beat The Meta
To beat the meta, you
need to prepare for the meta
SET UP

The META. An ever changing part about Madden,
when you play online, the overwhelming amount
of people you play are going to be running the META,
so with that being said, it's probably a good idea to
learn what you want to do vs it.
