You could do it one of two ways, I think.

One would be to go with a gun-heavy book and just look for as many opportunities to run as you can if you see the defense out of its base personnel or in man coverage.

Another would be to use a run-heavy book with lots of PA rollouts. You could use those effectively as designed runs and get Tebow out in space either to throw short to the dum-off guy or downfield to the crossing guy.

None of the actual designed QB runs work in the game as far as I can tell, so I'd steer clear of those.

This is what I'd do. You don't even have to use PA plays necessarily, test it, on a lot of plays, you can easily roll out the QB before he finishes his dropback so you don't have to execute play fake to get your QB to the outside quick. To simulate a QB draw, use a play with all receivers running to the outside to clear up the middle and immediately after the snap, move the stick forwards, you can often pick up 5-10 easy yards over the middle if the CPU doesn't blitz.

Scrambling to the outside on a HB Slip Screen play can work well, too, if you time it right, it's almost like a "QB screen" where the linemen will block for your QB.

Out of I-Twins Flex, there's a nice Roll Out play without a play fake that can work pretty well, too.

Yeah, I also know that you can cancel PA plays and free the QB up for deeper or shorter drops by hot routing both backs to block. I wonder if doing this during PA rollouts will in effect create a naked bootleg play.

PHI has an interesting book. They obviously have a book that's conducive to QB movement from spread sets, with a lot of rollout plays. In a system like that, you could really get Moreno to do some work as an agility back like McCoy, and you could work Royal as a poor-man's Maclin/DJax, and use Decker in the slot.

I was actually going to suggest this, as I had been tinkering around with different playbooks for the Broncos.

Denver's default playbook does have a "heavy" Shotgun set that has some nice plays in it, but as another poster mentioned, the QB-designed runs from the 'gun don't work; you're better off just scrambling if you don't see anything open.

Tebow plays just like he does irl; terrible accuracy but he is very elusive and I've seen him break a few tackles, too.

Why did you ask the same question as the OP? If you read the thread, there's already a couple of suggestions out there.

The default Denver playbook is OK, but it's more geared for a QB like Orton than Tebow, outside of the two "heavy" Shotgun formations they have.

Philly has a nice playbook, and then you can also look at playbooks that feature a lot of shotgun formations.

Re: playbook for tebow

I'd recommend kind of the opposite, while in reality, the scrambling QB loves playing in the shotgun, in Madden, usually it's a lot easier to scramble when under center, pick the right plays and get the timing right and you can take control of the QB right after the snap, which means you are already much closer to the line of scrimmage and can escape the pocket much quicker than when in the shotgun.

It least for me, I've had much more success scrambling from singleback formations than from the shotgun.

Re: playbook for tebow

Essentially, denver is using the wildcat for every play of the game with tebow as the operator.


Use a playbook with wildcat sets.

Flash trio is a good one...it has a few pass plays, straight power for the qb, some read options


That is basically how denver is using him atm as well...

Re: playbook for tebow

create a playbook.

Re: playbook for tebow

update the rosters, the Broncos playbook has read option plays and they work for me.

Re: playbook for tebow

create a playbook.

exactly. add like 5 pass plays and 50 run plays. run the hb, fb, wrs, tebow, and anyone else who wants to carry it. then in the 4th quarter, edit your accuracy ratings and drop back and pass. works for him everytime

Re: playbook for tebow

Just a side note: The Eagles have options too, not sure about other teams, and vick is a beast, I had a 33 yard td off of an option with him and a 23 yard td off an option with him, in back to back games.

how does the option play work? i been trying to figure this out for the longest. shouldnt i be able to toss it to my back if the need arrives?

Re: playbook for tebow

No, the only options I've sean are read options where you can either hand it off to your back or run it yourself, I want to have the kind you see with speed options of the back trailing and you can pitch it but to no avail.
