Madden NFL 25 Tips & Tutorials Guide › NFL Teams › Chicago Bears

Offense

Recommended Offensive Run Formation:

I-Form Pro (2 RB, 1 TE, 2 WR)

Pro Tip

  • HB Michael Bush will be great in late-game situations with his 95 CAR rating.
  • Use the right stick to playmaker any run the opposite direction.
  • FB Evan Rodriguez has 83 SPD and will be an effective weapon in the passing game.
  • Use play action to try to free up WR Devin Hester downfield.

Run Left

Follow your blocks off the left edge.

Run Middle

Keep this run between the tackles.

Run Right

Use the acceleration burst to get to the outside edge.

Recommended Offensive Pass Formation:

Gun Snugs Flipped (1 HB, 1 TE, 3 WR)

Pro Tip

  • WR Alshon Jeffery adds a ton of size to the field. Use his 6’3” height for jump ball situations.
  • WR Devin Hester is best used for screens, drags, and zig routes.
  • TE Martellus Bennett is a mismatch for most defenses because of his height and jumping ability.

Base Play

Setup:

  • Streak the far left WR
  • Drag the far right WR
  • The wheel routes on the sideline crush most coverages.
  • Hit the drag underneath to open up the sideline wheels.

Man Beater

Setup:

  • Wheel the HB
  • Streak the far left WR
  • The corner route will be open for big plays down the sideline.
  • One of the underneath drags will get open. Deliver the ball with a high lead pass.

Zone Beater

Setup:

  • Streak both outside receivers
  • Wheel the HB
  • The route combination on the right side of the field will beat any zone. Find the open receiver.
  • The HB running the wheel is usually open quickly at the snap.

Blitz Beater

Setup:

  • Hitch both outside receivers
  • If you face a zone blitz look to the flats.
  • If you face a man-to-man blitz look to the hitches.
