If you want a fun and explosive offense to run in Madden 24, this scheme is for you. Let’s get into it. 

Offensive Formations

The two formations we will be adding off of Tight Y off are Y Off Trips weak and Trey Y Flex. These two formations paired with tight Y off will make your offense unstoppable. Using misdirection, personnel mismatches, RPOs, and concepts that create madness for opposing defenses. 

Y Off Trips Weak 

The first play we will go over is Mtn X Slant Spot in Y Off Trips Weak formation. 

Mtn X Slant Spot

In this play, we will be creating a flood concept by putting an X on a streak. This way we have a deep vertical, a corner route by the tight end, and then the motion by the running back, which will be used as the flat route. 

Then we are going to put RB on a drag route. This drag route is extremely important, and you will see why in a minute.

Now this flood concept is essential because it beats every zone defense, but the unique part about this play is the running back flat route. A lot of the time, this motion flat causes the user to flow towards him, which takes the user completely out of the play. 

Now your first read is the corner route. If the vertical pulls the deep zone, you will have the corner route wide open. This corner route also cooks man coverage as well. But If the defense drops back to guard the corner, you will have the underneath drag route for an easy pitch and catch. 

For your last read, you need to look at the backside slant coming across the field. If you see the defenders reacting late to the slant over the middle, step up in the pocket and throw a dot just out of reach of the defender. If nothing is open, you can also check it down to the running back on the motion flat. 

Mtn Pump And Go

The second play we are going over is Mtn Pump and Go. This play is where we will create a ton of misdirection to confuse the user. 

The setup is extremely simple, just put A on a drag. So, you will have the switch concept with the slot receiver on a wheel and the outside receiver on a post. Then you will have the backside receiver on a deadly crossing route with the drag underneath and the running back on a motion flat.

If you are looking to go deep, check the wheel route by the slot receiver, against a zone. You may hit him towards the sideline.You just have to make sure that the deep zone is occupied enough so he can’t break on your pass and intercept the ball. 

This route can also beat man defense over the top, but you will need to buy enough time in the pocket as the route takes a little longer to get open versus man defense. 

But normally, your first read should be the drag. In this play, the motion occupies the user and the defenders back up into their zone, which leads the drag to be wide open. If the drag isn’t there, your second read will be the backside crosser. If you have enough MUT 24 Coins, you can optimize your deep routes or improve your running back’s overall stats.

Now, against a man-defense, this backside crosser is insane and gets open 99% of the time. Especially against man press like you see here, where he beats the press with ease. All you have to do is hit the wide open receiver in stride, and you will be off to the races. 

Madden Tip

Now a cool tip is that you can put your tight end at the running back position if you have an athletic tight end. You can run the ball with him, have him run the motion flats, and put him on other running back routes to create mismatches against the defense. 

The way you do this is by putting your tight end at the starting fullback position, then in the play calling menu, flick the right stick left or right to change the package to fullback at halfback.

Y Off Trips Weak Continued

The next play we will go over is RPO Zone Dive, in this play we are either going to run the ball, or throw it into the bubble. If you see that the defenders or the user attack the bubble, give the ball to the running back, or tight end for easy pickups. 

Using RPO is essential to have success in Madden 24, the way the programming is this year. The defense will get pancaked like you see here if they only have three down linemen blitzing against RPO. 

But if you see the defense back off when the ball is snapped, quickly throw it to the bubble to get your best receivers in space to make big plays. 

The last play in this formation is Mtn HB Swing. This play works best when the corners are backed off the receivers, because the receivers totally miss their blocks occasionally when the corners are pressed. 

So when you see the corners playing off coverage, you can audible to this play. All you have to do is throw it to the running back, read your blocks, and create big plays in open space. 

Madden Tip 

Now, one quick tip before we go to the next formation is to start using comeback routes against man coverage. This route along with curl routes is very underrated this year and can help you gain easy yards as they are extremely tough to guard 1 on 1. 

When throwing the comeback, you just want to throw the ball as soon as you see the receiver begin to break or drop his hips. This will optimize QB and receiver timing for an easy completion. 

Trey Y-Flex

Now we are going to go over 3 plays in Trey Y-Flex formation. 

RPO Alert Omaha

The first play we will go over is RPO Alert Omaha. This RPO has 3 viable options: either run the ball, pass to the flat, or the backside out route. 

This out route works great in the red-zone. If you see him beat the defender off the ball, you should have a window to throw to for a lead pass to the outside for an easy touchdown. 

On the powerful side, take a look at the defenders lining up over receivers, if the middle receiver does not have a defender lined up over him. Or if the defenders back up, give it to the flat, and you will see the vertical actually turns into a down field blocker to help gain extra yards. 

If the quick passes are guarded, just hand the ball off for an inside zone play. Do your best to be patient and find the right angles to make people miss for long runs on the ground. 

SE Corner

The next play we are going to go over is SE corner, and we will be creating another flood concept by putting an X on a vertical, and Y on a flat. 

The cool part about this is that when the user sees the flat by the inside wide receiver, he may think you are running an RPO. So it could create confusion for the defense. But your read here is the corner route. If the defense stays low to guard the corner, you will have the vertical over the top for a one play touchdown. 

You also have the running back on a check down and the solo tight end on a corner which could get open versus a man-defense. 

Verticals

The last play in this formation we will go over is vertical. Although verticals are simple, it is extremely good this year and you will find people not being able to stop it. 

Your first read here is the inside receiver. Your goal is to see if you can hit him over the top of the linebackers. If this is not open, your second read is the slot receiver running up the seam. 

If you have an open window, free form it away from the deep zone for a big time throw and catch. You can also throw the ball to the crossing tight end, which many people forget to account for because they are trying to prevent the deep ball. 

Goal Line Play

And now here is a red-zone play that will help you score more touchdowns, especially when you use a faster QB. 

The play is HB Slip Screen in the formation Trey Open Offset. What you will want to do is motion the inside receiver and snap the ball when he is about lined up with the right tackle. 

And the receivers job is to seal the edge. As QB though, you need to roll out to the right side. You can either try to run the ball into the end-zone, pass the ball to the flat, or pass it to the backside crosser in the back of the end-zone.
