Madden 24 - New Orleans Saints Playbook

The Saints unfortunately lost the Gun Tight Offset TE formation which is a big hit. They did however keep Gun Stack Y Flex and I think thats going to be pretty good this year. Speaking on stack, they have a brand new formation Gun Triple Stack. You are limited on what you can do because only 3 plays and you cant audible out of the play you pick in the huddle. But I will say this.. I think at least 1 of those QB runs will be good. And just based off alignment of the formation, if you have a HRM QB you can really cook up some good route combos passing the ball in this.

Litez's Top 3 Favorite Formations in New Orleans Saints Playbook Madden 24

Gun Stack Y Flex - Quick passes on the left, Skinny Posts on each side, Corner Routes, pivots, whips, a good run game. This formation will be good.

 

 
Empty Trey Stack - Keeping it as Simple as Possible... You need HRM for this or atleast a Slot Apprentice to each side. That's all it would take to make that Saints Vertical play high powered imo.Saints Power RPO was glitchy in the beta but have to assume that gets patched. QB Zone will be solid, like a QB Blast.

 

Strong Tight - Strong Tight should be a very strong run set. It also has good routes for the passing game. I used this as a base Offense before every single down so I know it can work in pretty much any Madden.

Thoughts & Analysis on the New Orleans Saints Madden 24 Playbook

 

  •  Gun Stack Y Flex

This alignment has stacked wr’s on the left and the two receivers on the right are set in a normal spread look.  You can motion the Te to the line to block him if needed.  Drive h wheel is flooding the middle of the field and left sideline with a corner route.  Z spot, corner strike and Salem pivot all have unique corner routes to threaten both sidelines.  Pa read is the big money play here with a crosser and deep post stacked next to each other.  Levels and Y Sail can attack middle of field from left to right.  Also has fade out with two posts of different depth next to each other.  Run game is a quick base and inside zone.  This is a very good formation from a route standpoint. Has everything you’d need.  Question is, can it deal well with heat?

 

  •  Empty Triple Stack

A new formation that could be a really good play on early tournaments if people don’t know how to defend it.  It’s only three plays.  A blast, a power rpo and a verticals play.  We ran this a bit in regs during the beta and it felt great.  You can hang onto the ball with the QB on the RPO play and it’s very hard to stop.  If there’s a slot apprentice this is going to be hell.  Main issue is you can’t audible to other plays in the formation.  Similar to Wildcat, whatever play you come out in, you’re stuck with.  You also cannot audible in and out of the formation. 

 

Overall thoughts:  They really overhauled this book since the days of tight offset te and off trio weak.  Could triple stack be good?   Maybe.  I like the stack y flex.  I feel like you may get screamed at though.
