Madden NFL 25 Tips & Tutorials Guide › NFL Teams › Pittsburgh Steelers

Offense

Recommended Offensive Run Formation:

strong close (2 HB, 1 TE, 2 WR)

Pro Tip

  • HB Larod Stephens-Howling is the team’s fastest HB.
  • rookie Le’Veon Bell is the Steelers’ best HB.
  • HB Jonathan Dwyer’s 95 TRK rating is the team’s highest.

Run Left

Jonathan Dwyer will run over smaller defenders.

Run Middle

Dwyer is best used for runs up the middle.

Run Right

Don’t avoid contact with Dwyer. Initiate it.

Recommended Offensive Pass Formation:

Singleback Ace Pair Flex (1 HB, 2 TE, 2 WR)

Pro Tip

  • TE Matt Spaeth is a big target in the red zone.
  • TE Heath Miller is one of the Steelers’ best receiving options.
  • get the ball to receivers Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders early and often.

Base Play

Setup:

  • Streak the inside TE
  • Zig the outside TE
  • The main read on this play is to target the HB out of the backfield.
  • Don’t use lead pass, and throw the ball as soon as he moves upfield.

Man Beater

Setup:

  • Zig the outside TE
  • Motion the far left WR outside
  • At the snap of the ball the motioned WR will burst upfield, beating his defender inside.
  • Throw an inside pass lead to the WR, which will lead him upfield for more yards after the catch.

Zone Beater

Setup:

  • Option the HB
  • Against Cover 2 and Cover 3 look to any of the four vertical patterns.
  • Against Cover 4 zones look to the HB option.

Blitz Beater

Setup:

  • Zig the inside TE
  • Drag the outside TE
  • Our main target is the HB on the screen.
  • The TEs running the zig and drag combo are also nice quick options against heavy pressure.
