In today’s Madden 25 strategy, we are going over a way to disguise a screen pass so your opponent won’t see it coming. We just need to make a few adjustments and this play can turn into a big gain.
Check out the full breakdown below.
Playbook: San Francisco 49ers
Formation: Strong Pro
Play: FB Screen
Setup:
- Use the dual HB package
- Hot route the fullback (2nd hb) to a swing left
Reads:
- You want to throw it to your running back on the screen pass.
Madden School Pro Tip: Drift back and to the right with your quarterback to make the play a little more effective.

Can I see a nice pistol play out if Seattle playbook?
Like the video on FB Screen. I found that when you put the FB on Swing Route vs letting him stay on route that was on the play, the defense rushes the QB faster and prevents the completion of the play (I used Texans off/49ers Def on All-Madden). When used as the stock play I had better success.
Also, do you have any suggestions on how to effectively run HB Counter plays from this formation or any other formation? And what would you recommend as good formation/sets to run HB Draw plays that the HB don’t get hung up on their linemen?
Thanks
As you acknowledged previously, many NFL teams use the 3-4 defense, i enjoy the game immensely so please don’t ignore this segment of the community.
I’m holding out for the Madden 25 Ultimate 3-4 Defense e-book. Im voting with my $ and the first vendor puts a solid product up will get my $.
Keep up the good work!
In my league they constantly man press me. I use the Carolina playbook. What plays can I use to beat press coverage?
hey guys, I love what you guys do, its very helpful and I appreciate it. I got your defensive ebook this year and last year its helpful but some plays take way too long to set up and they arent very effective because me and my friends play on custom settings and speed threshold set to zero. If you could provide me with some money plays when speed is set to zero would be great. Also my opponent keeps running the same play over and over, one is TE 15 yard slant to the right and the other is WR curl with Julio Jones. I ve tried double teaming, Spotlighting, even usering but I can never stop it. Please help.
