Are you talking about the Prima Madden Guide?

I got the 13 one. It's not worth it, 5 sets for success is cheese, the rest in fantasy stuff and some lists that are useless once the rosters change significantly.

I actually got a few nice plays out of it but you're right, it is not worth it.

I bought it way back in 2004/2005, and I agree - definitely not worth it. It's a 1-2-3 guide to become a cheeser.

My biggest conplaint is the guides use real world football logic. And that logic usually doesn't apply to madden.

Good bathroom reading material, pretty much the only reason why I buy strategy guides. I don't ever pay full price for them though, only buy them on sale for around $12 or $15.

Re: Madden strategy guide?curious

Hey, Guide writer here, let me know what else you would like to see, we have changed up the 5 Sets with the new audible system, went with all new top 5's and have broken down even more in the team sections. Message me some thoughts and I will be glad to check them out. We have been listening to fan feedback, the 13 guide was different, it was less of a textbook and more something you could actually use in a game.

Should be able to get some good deals early on amazon with it too. If not, we will be having plenty of other free content out as well.

5 Sets are a great teaching tool, it isn't all you can run but it is a great base offense. The less random plays you choose, the better you will get. The more reads you can make on a few of your better plays helps.
