Smile Figured out how to run a 3 - Back system

Miami has recently been using Berry a lot more now along with Cooper and James and it inspired me to start and try to find a way to use all three in an effective and easy way and I did. I know people tried to do the same thing with USC, but never got it to work, but I have found out a solution to my problem.

First, I made Javarris James my starting running back with the real FB 2nd string. I then made Greg Cooper my 1st string HB with Berry 2nd and James follows at 3. Now, I run out of the I-Form and Strong-I, so I always have a FB and RB, thats what makes this system work. It may work with Ace, I have not tried. Anyways, by using this I can now make Berry the running back, James the running back with the real FB there, Copper the RB with James there, James with Copper, etc. I do that all with the right thumbstick in the play call screen where you modify the packages.

I know this isn't a 100% true 3-back system, but it is as close as I have seen anybody get. I hope this helps some of those out there. Good luck!

Edit: It works with the Ace better because I can use the regular package with Copper there, Spell HB package which is the 2nd stringer, or I can use the FB package which uses James as the RB. This should help even more people.

Re: Figured out how to run a 3 - Back system

I've mocked the USC using a three-back system simply by adjusting subs in and out. I'll sub a RB out if he gets below 85 and only back in when he is 95. This will use the majority of your backs, of course switching some of the formation audibles to get some more touches than others.

This is the proper way to do a 3 back system. but make sure that you have enough backs. I did the auto sub thing in my FAU dynasty. My first two running backs left the game and never came back. And after halftime my 4th string back was the only one getting touches. I tried resetting the auto subs and they still didnt returen. As you can imagine this is not ideal in year 2 of FAU dynasty.

Re: Figured out how to run a 3 - Back system

I run a 3 back system by just subbing out a back every series. I get about 15 carries with my #1, 10 carries with my #2 and 5 carries with my #3.
