Best offensive style for ncaa12

[prime_time_jr21]

What offensive style or playbook do you think is the most effective in ncaa 12? I'm not interested in making a custom playbook.

Depends on what you do good.
If you like to run the Ball a lot then go with a Single Back offense which is full of good runs to do. Alabama's playbook is probably best for that.

Multiple gives you a variety of choices. Boise State is the best playbook to use for both the run and pass.

Personally when I want to pass a lot I use the west coast system because it relies on short passes from undercenter and you can run the ball better than you can in the shotgun.

Spread and Air Raid should only be used if you are great at passing and dont want to run the ball because running out of the shotgun is ineffective.

Option offenses are super hard to run and you should only use them when you want to challenge yourself.

They aren't super hard to run, you just have to know what you're doing. If you're running triple option out of the flexbone, you just have to know how to read the defensive line and the line backers.

One back, no doubt

Most of us know what we're doing. But the point is the AI is broken and we don't want to spend more time fixing another problem with the game. When I run the read option I read the defensive end on the weak side of the formation. He stays back you hand it off, if he runs towards the qb and rb the qb fakes the hand off and runs past the defense. The thing is I don't run exclusively out of the shotgun so when I jack uo the AI to successfully run the options(You are going to be tackled for loss some times then sometimes you're gonna break of long TD runs). The bad part is the shotgun blocking is messed up so half the time when you hand off to the running back the play was mostly done developing and the DE and linebackers will be able to get to the running back unless a).good offensive line which most spread teams dont 2). the offensive line actually blocks 3). you have a fast back which USF a doesn't which is a decent read option team. In real life if you have good vision and a quick first couple steps you don't need speed with the crappy shotgun blocking AI doesn't allow that.

So I could jack up the sliders and then when I go back under center I cheat the defense. Just fix the shotgun AI which is essential since almost half the college teams run it at sometime.

Run & Shoot is awesome, if you actually can make read and reacts.

If you're someone who doesn't want to pay attention, go power running.

pro style or multy

An Altered Alabama Playbook is what I use. I alter the Ace Formation and the Shotgun formations to Formations I like, but I keep the style of the Playbook.

I'm loving the Ole Miss Playbook this year. They have Ace, I-form, Strong I, Weak I and Pistol formations. It's great for guys like me who want to have a balanced attack.

Power running game.

I form, Maryland I, wishbone

Pass when your opponent shows he can stop the run.


Basically i use the philosophy of my high school football coach.


4-4-4. Move the chains.

Re: Best offensive style for ncaa12

I love Purdue's playbook. It has running under center, and it has a spread passing game. In the end, it fits my style perfectly.

Re: Best offensive style for ncaa12

Last year I gave my online dynasty league fits with the BYU Air Raid Playbook. Haven't gotten out league underway this year but have been playing a few exhibition games testing sliders with the playbook and I am still happy with my results.

I agree that running out of Shotgun is very hard to do when your settings need to be universal and offer a challenge to the power run teams in your league. However, I have had great success with HB draws out of 4 wide shotgun sets.

Re: Best offensive style for ncaa12

..***nning out of the shotgun is easy. with that said, check out Boston. I was going to make a thread where people can list their favorite plays/oddball plays so we can make some cool custom playbooks, and Bostons Bazooka shotgun was going in there. A jet counter where both your WR and QB are HBs? Yes please.

Re: Best offensive style for ncaa12

a one back/run and gun hybrid and it's not even close... It's so easy to run out of the ace this year that you can create a lot of personnel mismatches... which is when I start running my one back no huddle O it's unstoppable if you can read the defense. The mismatches are just too much for the D.

Re: Best offensive style for ncaa12

I cycle through the playbooks from time to time, but I always find myself going back to the Pistol. I've had a lot of practive using the Spread but I love Tommie Frazier and the Option offense. Pistol can bring out the best of both worlds. With the QB in the Pistol formation, this can work for all forms of the Spread and can incorporate a lot of Air Force/Navy style attack as well. If you find yourself blessed with a running QB, give the Pistol a shot. Pound it up the middle for the One Back players, contains a wide variety of formation for the Multiple players.
