Schemes in Madden 21

[angels28]

Will changing schemes in franchise mode make them play different? If so, which schemes/playbooks give CPU best chance of throwing downfield.

Definitely not the New Orleans playbook because they focus on the short game. I would probably say New England. I wonder this too because I'm in a GM league where we run slow sim games.

No it just influences XP. If your players fit your scheme, they get an XP boost.

While it does not directly impact their play in the short term, it will over the long as long as you actually try to fit the scheme. Players that fit the scheme will be upgraded faster. To ensure your team grows as fast as possible, you should get/train players to fit the scheme. This will ultimately change the best way to play with your team.

If you ignore the scheme change and just progress players to be the highest overall even if it's against the scheme, your team's development will be stunted making it much worse.

Bills playbook and power zone run
Get a strong arm QB and plenty of WRs. I personally look to get a strong TE over a #2 I’d push comes to shove. Also slot WR is important

You’re welcome

Scheme won't change how the team plays.
For you, XP boost to players that fit the scheme.
Same for AI, and they will prioritise selection of players that fit their scheme, and so over time alter their style of play.

It won't change how they play game to game.

Anyone have a break down of pass-run ratios generated by the playbook in madden 21?
