NCAA FOOTBALL 14 Scheme & Playbook for dynasty discussion

[flashyjoker]

With the release of the game approaching, I thought a good idea for a thread would be able to talk about the offensive playbooks & schemes on both sides of the ball everyone was going to use. Talk about your dynasty team's personal and how the new/original scheme will work effectively.

Im going to be using the university of Miami. Coach coley was just brought over from FSU so it's going to be interesting to see how much the Playbook has changed from ncaa 13. I expect spread wrinkles into the formely predominant pro style offense playbook that Miami has. There has also been heavy rumors that Miami will be switching to a 3-4 due to the lack of depth at the DT spot. D'Onofrio runs "multiple" defenses but the primary package is 4-3. Ill have to check out my depth in the front 7 to see if I make the change to a 3-4 or another type of defense. I want to keep a pro style offense with Miami, we've got a good senior qb in Stephen Morris and we have talented young receivers. However, as time goes on football evolves. After playing the demo, I really enjoy using the read option, triple option, etc. I want to implement that type of stuff & some Oregon plays into my playbook. Duke Johnson is rated a 91 & is very fast. Stephen Morris sticks to the pocket but he has good mobility and would be able to be a weapon using his legs. I kind of want to have a 49ers type offense. Im not sure what playbook would best fist what I'm looking for. I know my first year as head coach im going to go after a big name dual threat qb. If I decide to run a 4-3 (think I'm going to stick with it) I'm looking to for playmaking DBs with good coverage skills & speed. I want Miami to have the speed they used to have in the early 2000s. I want my linebackers like Dan Morgan, Jon Beason, flying around & making plays. My top targets will be on the DL. Our depth is lacking there and I want to win with a dominant defense.


Additionally, I wish ncaa would've made the game like madden where the scheme changes the rating of players. That way you could recruit a certain way also (Big back, Field general, playmaker, etc.)

What playbook/schemes are you looking to implement for your dynasty team? What's your reasoning? Also, if anyone can help me with the offensive playbook they think will suit me I will appreciate it.

Any help/thoughts?

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 14 Scheme & Playbook for dynasty discussion

I'm going to be running all kinds of spread option because of all of the new improvement. However, the flexbone really interests me as well. i wish there would have been a flexbone team on the demo.

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 14 Scheme & Playbook for dynasty discussion

Depends who I play with. I like smash mouth football so I'm gonna end up using LSU/Stanford playbook in those respective Dynasties.

In my Baylor/ULL dynasties I'm gonna go for more of a spread/spread option game to try and outscore my opponents since their defenses won't be all too great.

May even give UCLA a shot with some power run from the spread.

Now defensively, I always create a play book. I like defenses that dominate the LOS. I'd rather give up 300 passing yards and 120 rushing that the other way around. I always draft corners first then linebackers then DE then DT.

Yeah I love the new option improvement. Definitely going to get a big time dual threat qb to replace Morris.

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 14 Scheme & Playbook for dynasty discussion

Definitely gonna have to do a Service Academy dynasty for the option. Probably Navy.

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 14 Scheme & Playbook for dynasty discussion

A No-Huddle Spread. I always been more of a run-1st type of a time of possession player. But, I want to switch it up. So, I will be more of a 65/35 passer. But, I will incorporate some read option in it.

Projected stats:
QB- 3300+ Pass Yards and 500+ Rush Yards.
RBs- Multiple RBs over 600+ Rush Yards and 300+ Receiving Yards.

So My QB will be my heart of my offense. I will be use a 2-RB rotation. My QB has to have Above average THA and at least 80 speed, but THP isnt a huge concern. I want my RBs to more of smaller Speed backs.

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 14 Scheme & Playbook for dynasty discussion

Im a fan of the power run. Hopefully it translates well into the game and hopefully the pitch/options is not over powering. Otherwise I may have to switch lol

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 14 Scheme & Playbook for dynasty discussion

Ideally, I would have liked to run a pro-style offense in the game. However there's still too many nagging issues on certain plays with the run-blocking, and since I absolutely suck at passing, I'll be running some sort of option based scheme. The spread options in the demo work really well for the most part. I'd rather run a scheme that works, than stick to my pro-style when it doesn't.

Whatever option scheme I go with, I want to spread the field with 2x2 4 wr sets, and use heavy wr motion for jet sweeps and triple options. I also want to utilize bubble screens and the like (the PA screens that Oregon uses feels REALLY good in the game). Having 4 wrs at the line allows me to always be a threat in the passing game on every down, that's something the wishbone/flexbone just can't provide to the same extent.

I originally wanted to run this out of the pistol to maintain a balanced formation, with downhill running threat without sacrificing QB depth. However, it feels so good running this scheme out of Oregon's shotgun spread offset formation that I'm having second thoughts. It has almost all of the types of plays I'm looking for (I LOVE the new shovel option). Hopefully there's more counters or PAs off of these WR motion plays in the customs playbooks that I can run to prevent defenses from run committing as soon as the WR goes in motion. The increased shotgun depth also gives me a little bit more time to make the pitch read, which for some reason I'm struggling with this year. When I get the game, I'll have to lab the pistol option game before I officially decide, but it'll be either pistol or shotgun.

I haven't played around with defense much at all in the demo, but it looks like the CPU option will be a lot harder to stop than previous years. To counter this, I'm going to try to recruit the fastest back seven with the highest play recognition I can, and not worry about much else. I haven't tried this before, but I imagine it'll be effective to snuff out the option, and pretty good in the passing game as well. I plan to recruit run-stuffing d-lineman and probably a balanced MLB to help in the run game. It's not like the d-line gets pressure on the QB anyway

I will use FIU, not necessarily because they best fit the scheme, but I put a lot of restrictions on myself for teams I can use in a dynasty. and FIU was the best team for the scheme remaining. I plan to be their OC and work my way up to HC at a big school. FIU has a good young dual-threat QB to build around, and a junior RB with 90+ speed and acceleration. Speed kills in the spread option game, and that's how I plan to recruit as well.

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 14 Scheme & Playbook for dynasty discussion

It's going to be difficult to resist running the spread option with whoever I play with; it's such an effective and fun offense to play with.

I'll definitely be doing a VT dynasty and I'll probably go with a TE heavy playbook. Lots of I-form, some Ace, and shotgun sets with TEs and Splitback. I'll run some read option but also focus on running the ball and the short passing game.

I'll also be doing a Marshall dynasty. They have a great young QB named Cato who has an arm and speed, so I'll probably try to spread out the field. I won't go whole hog on the option but again, some read option. Lots of 3/4 WR sets, lots of opening up the field so Cato can take off with it.

In my 'bad team' dynasty I'll probably take over a service school and convert them over to an Oregon like offense. I'll need to see who has the faster QB and RBs among them, although I'm hoping I can go with Air Force because I like their uniforms. But yeah, shovel options, short passing, screens, the works.

[LionsFanNJ]

Before deciding on a defensive playbook I'd need to see what the 3-4 multiple and 4-3 multiple have to offer. As I'm using one of those for Rutgers.

On offense my pro spread hybrid will be more awesome this year with the tweaks to spread blocking and such. Of course Rutgers O will be the base and I'll grab spread plays to replace and add to the playbook.

Of course Rutgers qbs suck so I'm immediately recruiting some mobile QBs for this offense.

Re: NCAA FOOTBALL 14 Scheme & Playbook for dynasty discussion

I have always ran a spread option offense, similar to what was ran by Rich Rodriguez at WVU with Pat White & Steve Slaton back in the day, so hopefully the improvements will just make my offense that much more effective.

I of course like to have speed at the QB postion, I also like to have a couple fast HBs so that I can rotate them and even use them in some formations together. I also rely on having a speedy man in the slot. Basically my offense is built for speed, speed, and more speed. I run a lot of read option, designed QB keepers, Jet Sweeps, and a lot of my passes are screens. But I mix it up with the playcalling, and the PA pass can be deadly when used at the right time with this offense.
