Fusion Offense - Madden 24 Modded Playbook

Video Game Modding

This is the 9th version of the MAMA playbook series, now called Fusion Offense. It is inspired by a ton of different schemes (Shanahan, Reid, Mcvay, LaFleur, McDaniels, Sirianni) with the addition of some of my own concepts. This book focuses on RPOs, motions, and specific coverage beaters. Pre-snap motion is used to identify coverages, in which some plays have routes to beat man, and others to beat zone.
‍
There are around 30 formations and 346 plays, all with custom playart. Most passing playart have "read triangles," to help guide your eyes post snap.

Featured Play: Empty Bunch Tight - CC DZ

This play combines the clear corner "sail" concept on the right and a deep salem concept on the left with an added twist of the zig route. This play has a natural high-to-low read progression, depending on the coverage.

In cover 4: the sail, post, and dig routes open up since they force the deep defenders to match.

The post and flat route creates an opening for the sail route to develop.

Against man coverage, the zig route can cook the defender covering the HB, typically a LB.

In a rub route, two or more receivers will run their routes close to one another, typically crossing paths. One receiver's route is designed to "rub" or "pick" the defender covering the other receiver. This creates a natural barrier that the defender must navigate around, often causing them to slow down, change direction, or momentarily lose their assignment.

Jet Wheel Concept

In the jet wheel concept, a receiver goes in motion across the formation, once the ball is snapped, the receiver turns upfield into a wheel route. Pairing this with play action can throw off the CPU, causing defenders to hesitate, switch assignments, or lose track of the receiver, often leaving them wide open for a big play.

Salem/Dagger Concept

This concept attacks the middle of the field. A combination of three routes is often used to stretch the defense vertically. The post route holds the safeties, the quick curl route attracts the linebackers, leaving an open window for the dig route.

Rub Concept

Playbook Features

One of the few core football passing concepts, designed to beat cover 3 and cover 2 variations.

The angle route opens up in zone coverage with complimentary routes that help open up the middle of the field.

The double post concept is effective against cover 3 match, cover 4, and even press man coverage.

Flipping the direction of the run is now possible in most gun formations. "PM Switch Zone" or "PM Read Option" can be accessed through the audibles.

Mike McDaniel popularized the exit motion during the '23-24 season. In Madden, exit motion can be used to confuse both man and zone responsibilities.

Specific red zone passing plays are named as "RZ". These plays are all very fast paced, intended to get the ball out quick.

Slant, return, option, sluggo, and ziggo routes are designed to beat man coverage. Most gun formations have audibles accessible in the event of a blitz.

Run Pass Option

RPOs allow the user to hand off or throw a quick pass, depending on how the defense reacts. If the defender commits to stopping the run, you throw; if the defender stays in coverage, the ball is handed off.

Motion Across Formations

Formations that are similar in alignment are ordered next to each other. This way switching between formations is a lot faster with only a few players shifting.

Process

1. Designing in GoArmy Edge Football

3. Creating formations and plays in Morphy's Playbook Editor

4. Creating playart in Adobe Illustrator

5. Converting PNG to DDS with Adobe Photoshop

6. Replacing DDS playart files with Madden AST Editor

2. Figuring out which plays to edit and building the playbook on a Google Sheet
