INTRODUCTIONÂ Â For our second offensive guide of the year we wanted to bring you something different than what we did in Patriots, and we focused our efforts back on to Baltimore. Last year our Ravens offense was truly dynamic and one of the best offenses in the game from start to finish. This year we bring a slightly different take on the book tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of Madden 17. You may see some old favorites in here, but you will also find one of the best books around that compliments a superior run game with a deadly passing game.
This guide is a compilation of favorite formations from each member of the team, so each formation will have its own unique feel to it. We believe that success is yours for the taking, and Baltimore can lead you there!
Gun Trips Y Flex Tight
We start with old faithful from last year. This formation was AMAZING last year, and is still incredibly hard to defend this year. The key to using this formations is mixing up the play calling and the defense will need to be all over the field with their user to even have a slim chance at defending it.

Gun Flip Trips Raven
Flip Trips is always a fun formation and this year we love it as a nice mix in formation within the entire scheme. When used in key situations, but not abused this formation will indeed move the sticks for you. The biggest downside is the ability to create a true flood concept to the right, but all of the crossing routes will keep your opponent tripping over themselves to keep up.
