Playbook Strengths

Baltimore Ravens

Madden NFL 25 - Baltimore Raven Plays

Playbook Strengths
・Focuses on speed as plays rely on Running Backs.
・Good for safely securing yardage as running plays are less riskier than passing plays.

The Baltimore Ravens' Playbook prioritizes mostly Running Plays. Choose this playbook if you wish to avoid passing at all and prefer your Running Backs to gain yards for you rather than your Wide Receivers.

This Playbook is a great choice if you want to slowly but surely move the ball forward rather than risking a long pass that can be intercepted by the enemy team.

Offense

Scheme Key Points
West Coast Zone Run ・Utilizes Short Passing
・Quickly blocks out defense players to open up lanes for Running Backs.
Multiple Zone Run ・Confuses defense by having multiple Receivers run out on a passing play.
Vertical Zone Run ・Creates multiple gaps for RBs to choose from and run through.
Air Raid ・Gives the Quarterback more options to either Pass the ball or run it himself. Overall confusing the defense on whether you'll make a passing or running play.

Defense

Scheme Key Points
3-4 Under ・Uses bigger and stronger players as linebackers. Perfect for tackling the enemy's Receivers.
Base 4-3 ・Most balanced defense set up with 4 linemen and 3 linebackers.
・Makes your team flexible to defend Runners and Receivers.

Choose Schemes that Match Playbook

Since Schemes are available to use in all plays, be sure to pick one that fits perfectly with your Playbook.

As an example, the Baltimore Ravens playbook tends to use Running Plays, so the Verticle Zone Run scheme is a perfect fit since it focuses on opening up multiple running lanes for your Running Backs.
