These formations are common to most playbooks, and you’ll be running them most of the time in one form or another.
Madden 22 I form
This is a running play where your halfback and lineback protect the quarterback as he pushes down the middle of the field. It’s risky, but also has good rewards if you can pull a pass off while the defense is distracted.
Madden 22 Singleback form
Singleback keeps the defense guessing what your next move is, since it works for passing and running thanks to splitting up running backs and wide receivers. It’s viable for both passing and running.
Madden 22 Shotgun
Shotgun is a strong passing play, but also a risky one. The QB, under heavy cover, stands further back to catch the ball, then lobs it to a receiver.
Madden 22 Pistol
Pistol is a more dramatic version of Shotgun where the play is almost the same, but a running back stands much further afield. It’s higher risk, but high reward as well.
Madden 22 Strong and Weak
These plays are the same except for where your fullback ends up. In Strong, the FB huddles with most of the blockers, and they’re on the other side in Weak. The goal is setting up a play the defense thinks is obvious, then using that to your advantage and running past their formation.

Your best bet with an offensive playbook is picking one that excels in a given area. Multiple options for passing, for example, mean that, even if you have a weak passing game, there’s still enough variety to keep your running play strong and fresh.

Most consider the Patriots’ playbook a balanced one, and while that’s true to an extent, it shines the most with passing plays. This book has over 300 passing plays, plus some star RBs to pull them off. Additional run and option plays help round this one out, though.
