Problems running the option.

[bamaboyusn]

For some reason i CANNOT run a successful option play, I always get stopped either behind the line or I might get a yard or two. Does anyone else notice this or do I just suck?

Absolutely have the same problem. Actually, in coach mode, even with tweaked sliders, i havent been able to run the ball at all, let alone an option play.

What kind of option? What team? What are you reading?

Hard and fast rules for triple option - You have to read the play side end. If he stays, you give to the fullback. If he attacks, you keep and possibly pitch.

Sometimes you can get away with doing the opposite and sometimes even when you do the right thing you still get stopped, but running the triple option is most definitely possible.

Herein lies the problem.

Basic basic reading rule....this doesn't apply to all

Triple option, read the play side defensive end. If he crashes down, keep it. If he slow plays it, give it to the FB.

Shotgun option, read the defensive end on the same side of the HB. If he makes a bee line toward the HB, keep it. If he slow plays it, give it to the HB.
