Madden NFL 25 Tips & Tutorials Guide › NFL Teams › Indianapolis Colts

Offense

Recommended Offensive Run Formation:

I-Form Hulk (2 HB, 2 TE, 0 WR)

Pro Tip

  • QB Andrew Luck has enough speed to run an option-style offense.
  • HB Kerwynn Williams is the best available HB on the Colts’ roster
  • Use HB Vick Ballard in late-game situations because of his 91 CAR rating.

Run Left

Williams has speed to get to the edge.

Run Middle

Don’t use acceleration burst running up the middle.

Run Right

Get to the edge as fast as you can.

Recommended Offensive Pass Formation:

Pistol Y-Trips (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR)

Pro Tip

  • Send WR Darrius Heyward-Bey on deep patterns to take advantage of his speed.
  • T.Y. Hilton should be used as the fourth WR.
  • TE Coby Fleener should be used as the third WR.

Base Play

Setup:

  • Block the HB
  • Streak the TE
  • The sideline wheel is a great option against man-to-man coverage.
  • The TE streak will be effective against zone coverages.

Man Beater

Setup:

  • Streak the HB
  • Drag the slot WR
  • The far left WR running the slant will get inside position against man-to-man press coverage.
  • Throw a high lead pass once he gets inside position.

Zone Beater

Setup:

  • Option the HB
  • Against Cover 2 and Cover 3 zones look to the sidelines.
  • Against Cover 4 zones look to the HB option and the slot WR’s angled streak.

Blitz Beater

Setup:

  • Swing right the HB
  • Drag the far right WR

The drag will be an underneath option if the defense is able to defend the HB.

Look to the HB at the snap of the ball and get him the ball quickly.
