Ultimate Playbook

[Mauler97]

I wish I could share this playbook with you but you can create your own.

I started with Martz's plays, and then I removed a dozen of the plays I didn't like, then I added the QB runs, options, passes, wildcat formations from the spread option playbook, along with the 5 WR gun plays. Then to balance it out I added the very effective zone running plays the Broncos use.

I simmed the first 2 years and just GM'd to get to the ultimate weapon for this offense Darius Pryor, I'm the Chargers and I traded most of the team except for McNeil, although he's next since I have Selvin Lankford and I don't want to give him a new big contract.

I've had the #1 offense both years, and now that I have Pryor watch out. I was getting about 320 yards passing a game and 120 yards rushing.

My next career i was gonna make a playbook of martz's book.


Actually now I have my playbook off of Peyton's Spread Attack. Took out a bunch of crap plays and some the dumb running plays added in some pass plays and a bunch of created run plays and PA passes i made. My philosophy is in playcall is set to power running though when i sim games I get about 300-400 pass yards a game avg about 30-40 att. Rushing is usually about 10-15 att (wierd huh?? for power running play calling!) around 40-50 yards.

My D playbook is craaazzzy I started in spagnola d book. took out alot of the zone plays i hated and added in a ton of man blitzs and only kept the zone blitzes from the pressure nickel and pressure dime. also got some base 2 deep coverage. My def normally ranks top 10 in league but last 4 years lead league in sacks and INT's with the #1 run D but the #20ish pass D but i win and win big so i can careless giving up pass yards when my team dominates in the red zone.

curious if you ever seen your QB pitch the ball on an option play? i've yet to see it.

I line up my HB at QB position more and let him run it seems to gain waaaay more yards then off reg running plays...

[Mauler97]

I've seen him pitch and handoff on the jet sweeps. He does keep alot though.

I guess its an age thing...and what you were exposed to as a youth in football. My playbook is based on the "west coast" set BUT...i rip it completely up. I run an "I form" and a "Split"...I have enough "Shotgun" plays to help IF i fall behind late but I will drop this on my next career.

90% of my runs come out of the "I" and of those its prolly on 4-8 plays thats used virtually all the time. I use "play-action" passes to excess but I have a few quick hits to the TE and a couple of longer over the middle types 5 steps that I use.

Like I said, its all about how you were brought up and what you saw as successful in high school ball.

"3 yards and a cloud of dust?" Your bet because, "3 yards a play gives you a first on 4th EVERY time!"...theres my philosophy, right there...BORING but it wins games.

True Kingfish, but I played defense my whole life and I love grind it out, smash mouth, muddy, wet, snow type of football games when I'm playing BUT as a fan I have always been drawn to the passing offenses life the Run and Shoot and now the college spread. My 1998 Vikings were a dream come true and then a few years later when Daunte had one of the best passing seasons ever I was in fan heaven so you can see why I have some much distain for Brad Childress and his "kick azz" offense.

I have always wondered why I am so diferent as a fan and as a player, I have complete opposite tastes.

How are you doing this editing? When I try to edit playbooks I can't add formations or anything. All I can do is remove plays from the current playbook.

I'm pretty sure he created one before starting a career. I did the same thing. You can add whatever you want then.

One glitch with it though is that some of the plays I added to the custom book show up twice in the interface in my career. If I remove one of them both of them go away. Frustrating!!
