The long-awaited release of EA Sports College Football 25 has arrived, and football enthusiasts are flocking to it in large numbers.

With an impressive collection of over 130 playbooks at your disposal in EA Sports College Football 25, making a decision can be daunting, particularly for novice players. To help simplify your choice, we’ve compiled a list of our top five favorite playbooks from our gameplay experience with this title.

Best Offensive Playbooks in College Football 25

As a longtime football fan and former college player, I can attest to the significant role playstyle plays in determining the success of any team’s game strategy. In College Football 25 alone, there are over 100 distinct playbook options to choose from, each with its unique advantages. However, what works best for one team may not work for another.

  • Multiple – If you want a playbook that can do just about anything, Multiple is our go-to option. Not only does the formation come with several fan-favorite Shotgun formations (Trips TE, Bunch, Tight Open, etc.), but you also get access to all kinds of great college football running formations like Pistol and Wishbone. We’d highly recommend starting here and then changing as your playstyle evolves.
  • Charlotte 49ers – This playbook has several solid Pistol plays and even a smattering of great Trips Tight End plays that you can use to get your receivers open. However, the big draw with Charlotte’s playbook is that they have access to Tight Doubles. This Shotgun formation was a fan-favorite in earlier Maddens but has been nerfed slightly. With College Football 25, there are a few new wrinkles in this playbook, most notably with the Zig Under play that makes it a great option for anyone looking to chuck the ball downfield.
  • Utah State Aggies – For this, you’re looking at the Tight Slots formation. Madden players know this has been one of the go-to formations over the last few years, and the Aggies make great use of it with plays like Mesh Spot, Flood, and several different RPOs. Tight Open is a great formation to switch to once your opponent starts catching onto your strategy.
  • Army Black Knights – This could be most of the service academy playbooks, but this is for players who want to use Flexbone and control the ball on the ground. The reason we selected Army is that they have access to more Shotgun formations, meaning you can switch out of the Flexbone if you get behind on the scoreboard and need to start airing the ball out more.
  • UNLV Rebels – The Rebels’ playbook takes advantage of meta formations like Cluster and Tight Doubles, but it really shines in its diversity of running plays from the Shotgun. That’s huge for CF25 because having all of those option and RPO plays from Shotgun makes it easy to keep opponents on their toes. If you’re playing with a highly mobile quarterback, this is a solid playbook.

The latest version of EA Sports College Football, named “EA Sports College Football 25,” is now accessible on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S for those who bought the Deluxe Edition.
