This Madden Playbooks database includes 32 team offensive and 32 team defensive playbooks for Madden 27, plus 17 alternate offensive and 5 alternate defensive playbooks — every formation and play, fully searchable.
A Madden playbook is the complete set of offensive or defensive formations and plays available to a team. While some modes like Franchise allow custom playbooks, Madden Ultimate Team, and therefore the MCS, does not allow them. Choosing a playbook is the first major decision you'll make as a Madden player and it is important to make an informed decision.
Team playbooks are built around a specific NFL team's real-life offensive or defensive identity. Alternate playbooks are standalone schemes that aren't tied to any team. All team playbooks, and most alternate playbooks, are available in Madden Ultimate Team and can be obtained by completing sets or purchased directly on the auction house.
