Effectiveness of Flexbone

There have been many people saying that the flexbone works great against the CPU and is very fun to use. However, I have also read from other sites that this offense is ineffective against a human opponent. Just want to know if these are legitimate concerns or just a few people who dont know how to utilize the playbook.

I played online w/ GT a couple of times it works against humans also. I was successful. You just have to know how to run it inside and outside to keep them honest.

Re: Effectiveness of Flexbone

havent played a human using it, but the CPU sure has been effective against me with it.

Re: Effectiveness of Flexbone

I played against Florida online earlier with Navy. Lost, but could still run the ball effectively.

You need to run it for what it is - a gimmick offense. It is built to fool an opponent with more talent than you. Use you fullback and quarterback. Use the fake pitch.

It's all misdirection and clock control.

Re: Effectiveness of Flexbone

It's effective if you know how to use it correctly and know who your best players are in that system.
Like Millenium said, its a "gimmick offense"
