How well does the AI run the flexbone? Do they make the proper reads on the triple option plays? Is it a challenge to play against an AI-controlled Georgia Tech?

In Dynasty mode, do flexbone teams properly recruit more athletic quarterbacks to run in this offense?

Dynasty mode - Georgia Tech is recruiting an option QB I'm recruiting so yes...seems they do.

AI seems to run it well. The reads and such seem pretty good, although I think the AI made a wrong one a few times. Regardless, it's a challenge, but I think playing against the run is still easier than the pass. It's been like that for ages in NCAA.

Is the Florida playbook the same in the retail version as it is in the demo?

I may be picking this up, next week. I like how things sound, even with some of the negatives you've stated. I keep playing the demo and have it on, now, as I type. I like it.

IN13NSE - I'm not 100% sure since I honestly don't remember anything about the demo. But I would assume it is.

Trey - It's an interesting game. Despite it's obvious and well documented faults, I am enjoying it. So it's a mixed bag right now as far as I'm concerned.

Yea, I really think I want it. Hell, I LOVED Madden 09 DESPITE all it's probs. I hadn't enjoyed a Madden like I did with that one in a loooonnnnggg time. NCAA 10 reminds me of an improved Madden 09 so it will be my Madden 9.5 til Madden 10 comes out. I haven't purchased NCAA since NCAA 2005 for the PS2 which I still have.
Thanks for keeping us posted with your impressions.

I can't wait to run the Flexbone! Favorite offense on the game. I remember last year as Colorado, I lost my potent passing offense so I switched to it. Only finished behind Georgia Tech in rushing. After watching ht video on it for this years game I got excited about the Flexbone again. I set up my created college to run it already.

Is the playbook all shotgun? and if it is... how many shotgun formations are there?

Does the QB still run at a funny angle (toward the line of scrimmage) right after the snap?

In 09 it felt like the QB never ran parallel to the LOS so DTs could easily tackle you in the backfield.

Nice, I'll probably play with GT a few times just to see how the flex-bone has improved. Thanks for posting your impressions.

-How are the option passes out of the various formations? Are there multiple option pass plays in a single formation? Do you get sacked often when attempting option passes?

-Could you eloborate a little on the Wingback Reverse? Is it set up to look like an option play?

-Are there direct handoffs to the wingback post-motion? Like, will a wingback motion into the backfield for the QB to give him a direct handoff?

Thank you tons.

There are several option pass plays but yes, you can get sacked. However, they are much more effective than the last year or two where it was a 75% sack ratio.

The WB reverse looks a lot like an option play and yes, that means there are WB handoffs

Thanks for taking the time to give your impressions! My question is, about the O and D line interactions. Option style offenses generally leave one of the D-line unblocked, providing the read for the QB. In the game play videos I have seen, this is not the case. The O-line simply fires out and blocks whoever is in front of them. So...What have you found is an effective read for the QB during tirple option plays? Thanks again.
