Great post, Jbrew! I do appreciate that. A lot of what you wrote is consistent to what I've read in other playbooks (real life playbooks) and articles from real coaches like yourself.

I remember reading about how one groundbreaking thing that Texas Tech did under Leach was really spread the splits of his OL out.. which did the opposite of what you'd think. You'd think that it makes bigger holes for rushers to get through, but in reality it forces the defense to spread out even more in order to contain the offense, and that also opens the aforementioned passing lanes.

Is there any very specific aspect of the spread that is mis-represented in Madden that leads you to believe it's not accurate at all? I find uses for the spread, but can also see things that are maybe a bit too effective against the spread at times (man bump... maybe my WR's just aren't that great at releasing).

Anyway, I read what you wrote very closely and it is much appreciated. That's the kind of stuff I was looking for.
