Re: PLAYBOOK BLOG IS UP!!!!

I'm sure the spread is going to get some love too. Just wait. We already know the Gators playbook is getting an upgrade, which was definitely needed.

I want to see some defense on the field too!

Re: PLAYBOOK BLOG IS UP!!!!

Since the other thread was locked -

Quick thoughts:

The motion is much improved. It's nice to see the slots running fast through their option motion so that the pitches can be on time.

Midline with the motion SB lead? Sweet.

The trap option play is cool, though I sort of remember it being in last-gen - minus the actual trap/log by the pulling guard. BUT..that guard runs right into the center and can't effectively get there even in the demo video?????

Thanks for the correct sweep action. Nice to see the B-Back go away from the play, just like in real life.

60 Choice is awesome. Thanks for bringing the Run and Shoot into the flexbone. God, I hope it works smoothly. Three thumbs up.


But, for all the great stuff, there's still the problem that they still are not optioning anyone.

Maybe it's just because they're just going up against air, but the linemen are still doing "walk straight ahead."


Look at the playside guard on Midline Option. He's supposed to ignore the DT and get to the MLB and the QB can option off of that DT. His animation looks identical to that of the playside tackle next to him, whose job it is to base block the DE.

Again, I might be mistaken because they're not actually blocking anyone BUT from everything I've heard, there's still not going to be unblocked defenders to read off of in this game. Disappointing.

I'd really appreciate a developer confirming or denying this. PLEASE???

As a flexbone guy, I'm happy that they addressed it - it was the offense responsible for the most big plays in college football last year (20+ yards & 30+ yards).
I second this. I hate when I had a dynasty where I was in the ACC and had to play GT. There offense was so horrible it was just dumb. Now, it will be fun to defend them.

Hopefully we will have the ability for the inside pitch

The creativity in college football is one of the reasons I end up playing NCAA each year. This offense looks like a lot of fun to run.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the difference in the new running animation.

so the plays that are run on the field have nothing to do with gameplay?
