Madden 13: What Is Your Offensive Style?

[SnakeEyez]

More playbooks are needed next yr, would like to see some of ncaa styles/plays available in M14

I'd say I'm about 60/40 pass to run. My passing game is usually West coast like in style, alot of short, quick passes. I'm not afraid to go deep though, usually once the defense draws in on my runs and short passes I'll take some shots down field, but they've go to be fairly high percentage chances, or i'll check it down. Usually I'm using the pass balanced playbook.

It's typically, for me anyway, tricky to get a good pre-snap read so I gravitate toward a spread offense to force the CPU/opponent to show their cards. I then audible accordingly.

After some review of the legends' books, I really like Gibbs's book for running. The Ace sets are phenomenal, and the routes have room for one speed guy and one possession guy in most cases, so you can have a dynamic passing game. I think this is great for One Cut and Power backs.

Tom Flores's book is a hidden gem in my eyes. You get the Split, Far, Near, Ace, no shotgun stuff that Walsh has, and all the good runs, plus a really great toss out of the Near formation. The passing routes involve both backs and can be adapted to speed or possession concepts. I think this book is best for Receiving Backs and Speed Backs + Runner-Receiver FBs.

If you hate shotgun like me, those are two books with good offensive principles behind them.

Agree totally on your take on Flores / Gibbs...

I did think Walsh is "gunless" too though, correct?

Yeah, Walsh is gunless, which I love; the leg-up that Flores has is the toss play. That one to me is huge, though I do like the Walsh book very much and had a lot of success running the ball with it.

There has been a major flaw in Madden for years...Play as the Giants choose inside edge sting on defense and you will win 90 percent of your games

I'm an air it out kind of player. The only running I really do is QB sneak and read option.
