WTH Formation Is This? How Do I Stop It?

[acts238shaun]

Look at Nevada's goal line set. No FB, 5 linemen, and three or 4 TE's all rammed together like an Ace Dbl Wing or something

[SeattleAggie]

its ACE JUMBO HEAVY
Nebraska, Eastern Michigan, Nevada

Originally it has 3 TEs and a FB spread out. When I use it, I Formation sub Two extra lineman into the inside TE spots. Its pretty powerful but not invincible. Even if the guy you played had 4 Extra fat guys. lol
Just play it like the dude above says. If he is using the 4 extra- then try spreading out the O-Line, Bring people in the Box, play that zone and BE the Safety on the open side of the Field. I have seen people handle me many different ways when I run it. Maybe you should do the same formation online and see what people do to you trying to stop it.

Goal line D...the flat side...or is it flat buzz? Can't remember, but that works well when anticipating the HB screen. If he has all O-line men, I highly doubt hes going to pass, so I would just keep running that until he changes formations.

Thanks I will try practicing that against my brother.

Any type of heavy blitz should be fairly successful, as if he has OL everywhere he isn't going to pass it very well.

If EA had real strategy....you stop counters by guessing and slanting. Risk/reward but that is how you stop it.

It would be really nice if defensive playbooks had advanced since tecmo bowl.

That's true--maybe the LB dogs blitz it goal line with DE's in outside zone, or possibly have your corners come on a blitz and keep your LB's in man or an outside zone as well as your DE's. I found zone is horrible in this game though.
