I run the alternate offense run and gun and it kinda sucks. Anyone have any playbook recommendations? I run the rams defense and mostly heavy run/short pass. Brady is my QB.
Ok I might try it. Is ravens any good? It seems like many are using it.

Ravens is great if you want to run, liek almost ALL of the time -- I've faced a bunch of annoying opponents using the Ravens offense, Chad Powers designed QB runs or pounding it up the gut, almost literally every single play in many instances. Only do this if you need a little cheese in your life.
As far as solid, balanced offenses that are fairly easily accessible, i'd consider either Eagles (this is basically equivalent to Colts, as well) or Jets offense. Some really, really great plays in there, both run and pass. I started the year off with the NY Jets offense, but have been heavily relying on Eagles for the majority of the year. Although i continue to mull over the potential for some dual HB sets, especially now that Bottleneck / Man Press is becoming the new meta. TE and HB routes tend to cook that Man Press, as they cannot typically get jammed up at the line of scrimmage. Good luck, let us know what you decide,.
Ok thanks! I’ll try out both and get back to you guys later on this.

If you go with the Jetties, get acquainted with Durham. I have such a hard time trying to defend against this play, the setup is fairly quick and easy:
- Post Slot receiver
- Drag the TE
- put the outside bunch Receiver into a Flat
- Streak the HB
Win. As with many plays on offense, the goal is to put the opponent's user in conflict. They can't cover all of those routes at the same time, i tend to check the Flat first, if that's open, just dump it off and take the 5+ easy yards. Repeat until the opponent figures out they need a Hard Flat over there to counter. From there, you should have any of the other options, often the HB will get wide open and you can drop it in there, or wait for the routes to fully develop, assuming you have the time in the pocket.
On the other hand, if you go with the fEagles offense, Double Post is quite possibly THE best single play in all of Madden. Streak (or Drag) your Slot receiver and that's about it. Although i will often put the HB on a Texas route, but not necessary. This can be wonderful when using the Conductor portion of Master Tactician, as it'll allow you to rapid fire two quick pre-snap adjustments, while still being able to quick snap your opponent before they can get their coverage adjustments in place.
And definitely don't sleep on this Stretch Alert Bubble, it's absolutely nasty. A competent USER will figure out how to properly shoot the gap in order to shut this down, but 90% of players will have no clue how to defend this. Bonus points for running big Trent Wiliams (FB) at TE2, just watch him pancake your opponents, opening gaping holes to scamper around the edge for big gains.
