Weak I is an Offensive Formation that can be chosen before the scrimmage in Madden NFL 25. Learn when to use the Weak I formation, what Sets are available, and what teams' playbooks use this formation.

List of Contents

When to Use Weak I Formation

Best for Passing Plays and Outside Runs

A variation of I Form with the expected 2 Wide Receivers and a Halfback lined up behind the Quarterback. The main difference here is the Fullback starts towards the weak side of the field.

The slightly more balanced spread, compared to Strong I, makes Weak I the better option for passing plays and outside runs due to the variety of pass routes available.
