Trick Plays...

[malvinthra]

Just curious, but does any team use or have "trick" plays in their playbooks (other than fake field goals and fake punts)??? I can't seem to find a reverse, double reverse, fake reverse screen, half back toss, flea flicker, etc. anywhere in the game. A lot of teams use these types of plays, not frequently, but they are seen regularly - especially reverses. This is the first madden I've bought since Vick was on the cover, as I was playing 2k5 the past few years. Seems kind of odd that these plays would be totally absent. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

I could have sworn they had these in a few years ago, but now they are out?

Tampa Bay has a direct snap to the halfback play, as well as a couple formations where you can put your #1 receiver at halfback, but I think that's about as "tricky" as it gets.

Reverses, Flea flickers, and HB Option pass plays were in last year. I know for 09 the Eagles playbook is vastly different there is no near/far formations. And no Singleback BIG which had a flea flicker play in it (that was money vs the CPU). I would look at the Chargers playbook because they 'should' have a HB option pass play...possibly the skins too.

seems odd. why would they take these plays out?

I have seen flea flicker, HB pass, Direct snap to HB, and reverse on the 360 version. I cannot tell you which teams playbooks unfortunately.

i've seen the flea flicker too - check the bills pb. Not entirely sure but if might be there

i wish they had the double reverse WR pass. the vikes run with Sidney rice. in the vikings playbook.
