Re: Official "What playbook should I use" "What Playbook represents who" etc thread

Which playbook has some good non-Wildcat trick formations. Missouri has this split-line "monster" thing that I like.

Im running a teambuilder team, C's across the board in my dynasty. My QB is in the low 80s, and I have much better receivers than RBs. My OL is garbage...my LT is a 60.

What playbook is the best to give me more time to throw? I'm harassed on every passing play. Would a spread w/ short passes give me more time? I would also like some trick formations like that Monster shotgun but thats a side thing.

Wyoming's PB is the only other one that has the Monster formation. You can find the same concept hidden in South Carolina's PB in the Ace-Big set. But that's about it. Too bad we don't have a Play Creator option...

Playing with teams like you mentioned, I have used either Wyoming's PB or Oklahoma St's. The best success I had in using these was while running a fast paced no-huddle attack, quick release short passes.

Thanks. I might try a quick passing game to try and set up the run. My RB isn't too bad at 73 OVR, and my receivers are sufficient but by no means fast, so short passes seem to be the most efficient method. I collapse when I get to the red zone if I can't run though...

And what do you mean by hidden in the Ace set?

Sprinkled throughout the playbooks you will find formations within other formation sets. If you scroll through S Car's playbook, scroll through Ace-Big formation. You will go through maybe 20 plays in the Ace-Big formation, then the last 4 will be in this alternate formation.
This can also be found in Florida's Goaline formation. It will have plays in the standard Goaline formation, then switch to plays in the Maryland I, and then finish with plays in the Wishbone.
I have seen this type of thing here and there in differant playbooks, but it's near impossible to track.

Okay thanks! Ive seen the goal line- switch thing...ive come out in a Maryland I unintentionally on the GL before because i didn't pay attention to the play. I like Wyoming's playbook.

Will any spread PB work for Florida? The one in the game is still the "Tebow" Offense. I believe they were just a spread offense with sufficient amount of running, correct? I'm picking this game back up soon and will of course be playing with Florida.

I use San Diego State's pro style playbook for Brady Hoke.

USC & Stanford might be close too.

I think Texas's PB would be the best, since Muschamp came from there. IIRC, there's is a spread no-huddle in the game even though they went more to a pro-style this year.

Is OK St the best PB that mimics Holgorsen style>

I use Oklahoma State almost exclusively and I use Ohio's playbook. It's mostly pistol and shotgun formations, and it includes the "half-diamond" formation with the FB in the backfield. It utilizes the TE too much to be a true Holgorsen offense, but it's as close as you're going to find.

Whats a good almost all-running spread? I don't want to run as much with my QB as much as I do with my two RB's and slot receiver/RB type players. I know most spreads have handoffs, WR sweep, etc, but I want one with a ton of those. QB running isn't bad either. Lots of screens would be good too.

Florida and Mississippi State are both PBs that are the heaviest w/ this style, Wildcat themed offense. Florida's also adds a little I-Form and Pistol to mix things up.

I love Shotgun- 4WR Trio. (RS) left to sub in HB2 to slot, really creates some nice triple options. Oregon did a lot of this w/ James and Barner IRL.

Considering going with a new playbook for my Florida dynasty. I love Gator Heavy and the shotgun sets, but I'm looking for something with more Ace and I-Form.

I know Mississippi State has Gator Heavy, but I use the I-Form option a lot and don't want to give that up.

Any suggestions for good spread playbooks that also have I-Form, Ace and some kind of Wildcat?

Florida and Texas have those.

Yeah, I know, I already run Florida's playbook. Anybody know of playbooks with unique formations like Gator Heavy?
