Favorite Playbooks

[catcher_0_3]

Pretty straight forward, what is your favorite playbook and why?

Offense- Atlanta- I like their mix of formations with a FB and their movement of their #1 WR in formations to get him mismatched on lesser corners. I also enjoy using their zone running attack in this game.

Defense- Bills- it was the only playbook I could find that had both 34 formations and a 4-4 when I need to pack the box. Maybe a little too dense but once you get a feel for everything there are a lot of tools in the bag.

I've only played with Chicago's so far. Which offensively I'm liking. Nice variety of formations between double tight, single back and a ton of gun. I like it because I can show some ground and pound sets and then spread the defense and air it out

Re: Favorite Playbooks

Offense - Saints. I'm a saints fan, and the playbook feels like it plays close to the saints offense. You can find a good pass play or two out of each formation, which makes mixing your play calling up more enjoyable.

Defense - Seattle or Minnesota. Both are good 4-3 books, again, with usable plays in each formation. Obviously, I like to mix things up when I play.

Side note, I did try the new Eagles playbook last night. It felt a little dull, and lacked variety. I like playbooks with a lot of usable routes, and not just crossing routes and slants in different formations.

Re: Favorite Playbooks

I am really enjoying the pats defense now that we can formation sub and get good fronts for 34 and 43 defenses.

Re: Favorite Playbooks

Depending on how my team is set up

Offense
Run first team: Pittsburgh. A decent balance of run and pass formations. There is some nasty play actions out of there also.
Pass first: NE. Those designed motion plays are perfect for defenses that try to press all game

Defense
3-4: Chiefs. I just love love love the dime sub package there. With a run support SS in the box, it's a versatile formation.
4-3: LA Rams: Nothing to special about it. I mainly like the Dollar formation and Nickle 4 ends.

Re: Favorite Playbooks

Offense: Patriots.. TE is my weapon of choice. Love the TE sets they utilize.

Defense: Seahawks.. Enjoying the improved zone coverages. I like that I can finally run the cover 2, 3, 4 and allow them to work as they should.

I believe Ravens, Browns, Jets, Cardinals, Steelers, 49ers, and Titans have the 4-4 Split in their 3-4 playbook...

Raiders use 3-4, 4-3, and the 4-4 Split.

Hmm. You could very well be right. It was a combination of 34 formations maybe I was looking at to go along with a 44, but I'll check those out tonight.

Re: Favorite Playbooks

Zimmer's offense. It has all the formations I use often and plenty of play action.

Re: Favorite Playbooks

On offense these are my favorites:

Pittsburgh- good run/pass balance with some great pass formations. My favorite PB right now.

Arizona- LOTS of great passing sets, Single back/Shotgun heavy

Cleveland- some good passing sets with an emphasis on run

Seattle- Mobile QB heaven for the read-action stuff. I use the Eagles right now and might use this book a little since I have Wentz.

Re: Favorite Playbooks

I am a Giants fan and have been using their playbook for the past three Madden installments. I like the different alignments for Trips, and the variation between two-back and single back sets. I like that it has switch routes for passing, and counter/power/iso/stretch run plays. Defensively I like Seattle's playbook. It is a simple 4-3 that is aggressive in both pass coverage and blitzing.

Re: Favorite Playbooks

I gotta give you guys a shout out. I am absolutely loving the Seahawks base playbooks. I had been using the Niner's playbook online and I was not thrilled with it. Just not a ton of stuff. But the Seahawks book has it all and is very multiple. Currently riding it to a 3 game win streak in MUT with a 78 overall team

Re: Favorite Playbooks

Offense - Patriots. I like the spread offense myself. Or I will go also with the West Coast playbook.
Defense - Rex Ryans defense. Always been a fan of the 3 man front. the only 4 man front I run is maybe the 46. The Ryan family has always been some defensive master minds.

Re: Favorite Playbooks

Last year on defense i used greenbay's playbook for their psycho scheme. DT, LE, and RE in a 2 point stance along the line. linebackers in that stance as well. cant seem to find it.. any help greatly appreciated.

Re: Favorite Playbooks

Offense: Browns - great selection of run plays and good passing routes to battle any defense...

Defense: Patriots - Like playing with the combo of 3-4 and 4-3 fronts, and the Nickel 3-3-5 Odd formation...
