My HB is going to win the Heisman most likely (I'm Indiana) and I'm 5-0. I've played 2 user games against Penn State and an OOC game against Arizona State. Beat PSU 38-3 and ASU 21-0.

Care to share the book?

A share your playbook (ie. let others download it) would be great.

**Blade** · 07-20-2011, 03:36 PM

So if you do this whole coach mode dynasty, can you play your games? Like if you are a O.Coordinator, can you play the offensive plays? Or is it all simmed?

You play the offensive plays as an OC.

I don't think there is a plabook share. Just curious what formations you are using and what kind of runs. Obviously, you can run the same play out of multiple formations. I'm just curious what formations and types of runs (i.e. dive, sweep, toss, iso, etc.).

I tend to throw the ball...a lot. However, I would be curious to see a run-heavy book that isn't filled with tons of useless plays. In my RnS and Air Raid book, I cut out a lot of plays and may even cut more formations out.

**Twigg4075** · 07-20-2011, 03:56 PM

I could've sworn I saw a download/upload playbook option but maybe I was half asleep and imagining it? You guys play a lot more than I do so I would think you would know.

Hmmm.......I might actually give this a shot then....

**DoubleDeuce** · 07-20-2011, 05:33 PM

I'm convinced that sometimes the AI makes it impossible to win. Everything goes the other team's way, and nothing goes your way.

Fucking irritating.

**Blade** · 07-20-2011, 08:42 PM

Ok couple things....

1) Anyone know of a playbook with quick pass plays and options plays mixed in?

2) Has anyone completed a successful direction punt in this game?

**Garrett67** · 07-20-2011, 08:46 PM

What sliders (if any) are you guys using?

I might try these

                HB

I have 3 Runs in this formation. 2 Dives and a power with a pulling guard.

There are 4 passes. All standard, and one PA that mimicis the power run.

Bunch Base

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT    TE
                QB         FB  WR


                HB

I have 4 runs in this formation. A power toss, counter, quick pitch, and HB Slash.

There are 7 passes. 1 is PA with the others being standard passes.

Twin TE Slot

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE
    WR          QB         TE


                HB

3 running plays here. A dive, a HB Slam, and a Stretch. I love running the stretch toward the strong side with this formation.

There are 6 passes. 2 of these are PA. I really like this formation in 3rd and short. I like the confidence of giving it to the TE to rumble for a first if I throw or hand it to the HB on a stretch.

Y-Trips

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE
                QB            WR WR


                HB

5 Runs in this formation. 3 Dives, a Power, and a Toss.

7 Passes. Only 1 PA that mimics the power.

FLEXBONE

Normal

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT        WR
        HB      QB      HB

                FB

I have nearly this entire formation's plays in the book. Other than gimmick plays, at least.

I FORMATION

Twin TE Strg

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RT TE
                QB      TE
                FB
                HB

Another formation I like to run to the strong side. 7 Runs here.

3 Passes, only 1 PA.

MARYLAND I

Heavy

Code:

       TE LT LG CN RG RT TE
                QB
                FB
                FB
                HB

I have all of the plays from this formation in exept one pass, a PA to the FB.

PISTOL

Full House (Diamond)

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT        WR

             FB QB FB
                
                HB

I absolutely adore running out of this formation. I have every play here except one pass. It does a great job of keeping teams off balance, especially users.

Slot

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE      
   WR                            WR
                QB

                HB

5 Runs in this formation. Counter, Strong Power (my favorite run from the pistol), Dive, Draw, and Read Option.

6 Passes, only 1 PA.

Spread

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT        WR
   WR                        WR
                QB

                HB

One of my favorite passing formations from this book. 20 Passes, only 5 runs.

I also use this late in games for a HB draw to catch them off guard if I'm trying to come back and passing.

Strong Slot

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT        WR
                             WR
                QB FB

                HB

Very easy formation to run from. Plus I love the triple option from it. Easy to recognize by users so they are thinking run, but there are 8 passes in here for me.

Train

Code:

          LT LG CN RG RT TE      WR
                           TE
             HB QB

                HB

Only 4 plays from this formation. 2 Passes. I love running the power option from this formation, and the stretch going away from the lead HB confuses users.

Y-Trips

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE
                            WR WR
                QB

                HB

I like passing from this formation, but the runs are more effective than I originally expected them to be. Runs to the right in this formation are great.

POWER I

Strong

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE
                QB
                FB FB
                HB

All running plays from this form, and its one of my most effective formations. People know run is coming in this, but they cannot stop two FBs leading the way.

SHOTGUN

Split Slot

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT        WR
                           WR


             HB QB FB

Love running right from this formation. Also I like the routes ran by the receivers from this form. All in all, 6 runs, 12 passes.

Normal

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE
   WR                           WR

                
                QB HB

Always one of my favorite formations in the game. I love slants from this form, and running seems easiest from here as well. 9 Runs, 10 Passes. All useful.

Normal HB WK

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE
   WR                           WR
         
             
             HB QB

Same as Normal, but HB moved to the other side. I only run 2 plays from this, mostly because the run is now to the strong side (with the TE).

Normal Y-Flex

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT  TE
    WR                         WR

                 
                QB HB

Same as Normal, but with the TE in the slot. Again, I like the confidence of the TE in the slot running drags. Almost never run from this formation.

Gator Heavy

Code:

       TE LT LG CN RG RT TE
WR           
             FB    FB   

                QB

I don't like running this formation often, but I do like to run the wildcat from it. If I need a few inches, I might use it. All passes and runs in, just in case.

Wildcat

Code:

          LT LG CN RG RT TE  WR
HB                  FB          QB


                HB

Almost never use this formation, unless on the goal line. Only 3 plays in here, all runs.

Y-Trips

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE
                             WR WR     

               
                QB HB

I love, love, love passing from this formation. When I need to pass (end of halves), I primarily start from this formation. I run 9 pass plays from here, and I love all of them.

Only 4 runs, but usually they aren't used unless as a surprise play after a flurry of passes.

Trey Open

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT  TE
                             WR WR


             HB QB

One of my favorite shotgun running formations. Sweeps with the HB are extremely useful because of the edge that can be sealed off by the trips, esp. with the TE.

5 Wide Trio

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT    WR
    WR                   WR     WR
                                
                
                QB

All passes from here, minus a Jet Sweep and a QB Power to keep them honest.

STRONG I

H Twins

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE
   WR           QB
                   FB
                HB

Another one of my favorite running formations, every play is in here.

Twin TE

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE
                QB         TE
                   FB
                HB

Even easier to run from with the two TEs lined up right. 6 Runs from this form, 0 passes. Yeah it's that good.

WEAK I

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE
                QB         TE
             FB
                HB

A more balanced style, with the FB toward the weak side. Keeps defenses off balance with the amount of lead blockers evened out. I like running right from this form.

I have all 8 runs and 8/9 passes here.

WISHBONE

Code:

WR        LT LG CN RG RT TE
                QB
                FB
             HB   HB

I don't use this form often except when trying to eat clock. I love every play in here though, for that reason. When they know the runs coming, there are 12 variations of run from this form. Hard to stop.

Spoilered for size.

If you have any questions regarding plays in each formation or anything for that matter, let me know!

This where I stand on Sliders and Difficulties.

Default Heisman. Played one season, won every game, never threatened to lose. Boring.

OS's Varsity sliders. Played one season, won every game, most games finished with me around 35 points and the CPU around 21. Lack of user interceptions(a lot of drops no matter how good of a position). Probably played the best game so far, everything felt fluid and realistic.

OS's SECElite AA sliders. 9 games into the season, winning every game. Games are a lot closer and I have actually had to come from behind to win some. But while these games are fun and exciting, there is rarely any blowouts, or feeling of being dominated. A severe lack of different kind of games. Only close ones no matter who you face.

I have played every season with ND(averages - Offense B+, Defense B, Overall B+.) Now ND doesn't have the toughest schedule but I would like the few A teams I play in the first two years(MSU,Stanford,USC,Oklahoma,Florida,Michigan) to actually maybe beat me or blow me out. So I am still searching for some sliders where the CPU just plays smarter without being cheap. I have no problem losing a game, as long as I wasn't cheated. I hope to lose at least 5 in two years. Going undefeated every year is no fun.
