Effectiveness of Flexbone

[Irishfan2008]

There have been many people saying that the flexbone works great against the CPU and is very fun to use. However, I have also read from other sites that this offense is ineffective against a human opponent. Just want to know if these are legitimate concerns or just a few people who dont know how to utilize the playbook.

I played online w/ GT a couple of times it works against humans also. I was successful. You just have to know how to run it inside and outside to keep them honest.

Thats good to hear. I plan on using GT in an OD and was beginning to worry

Anyone else having success against a human opponent?

havent played a human using it, but the CPU sure has been effective against me with it.

I played against Florida online earlier with Navy. Lost, but could still run the ball effectively.

You need to run it for what it is - a gimmick offense. It is built to fool an opponent with more talent than you. Use you fullback and quarterback. Use the fake pitch.

It's all misdirection and clock control.

It's effective if you know how to use it correctly and know who your best players are in that system.
Like Millenium said, its a "gimmick offense"
