Best Pro Style Offense

The other two are similar with Jim Cheaney's Tennessee

I like Colorado State. It reminds me of how Wayne Fontes ran the Lions when they had Barry Sanders.

I also rename all PB's I use. I use 3 PB's called Bill Walsh PB, Mike Holgren PB, and West Coast Offense. BW Playbook is more short passes with some runs, MH PB is more of a running PB that sets up my passes more bootlegs and PA. Lastly my West Coast PB is a little bit of the MH and BW playbook. I let my imagination run wild with my USC Dynasty.

I'm liking PSU pb because of all the power runs and shotgun passes.

Essentially all the plays are the same... you'll get a few different plays here and there, but the biggest difference is always the players.

Ex - Oregon is not a Pro set team to say the least... but if you gave them a Pro playbook, their speed still makes it work.

There's no "perfect" playbook, when most plays are recycled from team to team.

I definitely think USC is a good Pro Style offense... It has a balanced amount of run plays as well as pass plays... I've been using there PB the past couple of years and I think I like it because it pretty much keeps me prepared for the switch when I get to Madden in August...

I've settled on Stanford.

It's really similar to the Niners playbook on M13, which I'm familiar with. Has a lot of ace and I formations, including strong and weak. It's got the power I, a lot of good shotgun formations and then both a pistol and a wildcat formation.

It's funny you mention that , but that is usually the basis of creating an offense. The same sets of plays out of multiple formations. I actually use this strategy when I create my custom playbooks and it makes the game simpler.
