I use the Colts and their offensive playbook every year. Something about their playbook on '11 didn't seem right to me, so I counted plays & formations from Madden '10. I left out special teams and goaline.

Heres what I found:
Colts playbook for Madden 10 has 21 sets and 345 plays total

Colts playbook for Madden 11 has 13 sets with 216 plays total

Madden '10 has 8 more sets and 129 more plays. They also removed Shotgun Ace that was only found in the Colts playbook, one of my favorite sets.

Well they did say that most people only call a handful of plays...

I usually don't call the same play twice in a game minus a few runs, but I do notice alot of players who run the same few over & over.

I hope that's not the case for every team. The Colts actually run a pretty simple offense formation wise. They use very little motion and only use a handful of formations.

I think they've cut out a lot of the generic plays and kept only the team specific plays. I just hope they got every team right.

Seems EA is basing a lot of design decisions on what happens online. God help all us football gamers if that's true.

ODogg · 07-28-2010, 02:16 PM

Yeah I agree Skyboxer. Very scary if that's true.

Is this based on the playbook from the demo? If so I bet the whole playbook wasnt put into the demo for the purpose of slimming down an already large file to download.
