Madden 13: What Is Your Offensive Style?

[b22gamer]

I like to pound the rock early and often. I enjoy using underdeveloped qbs i.e. Weeden, Tanny and even Joe Webb. He's real fun to play with, not very accurate but he can chuck it...although his spiral is about as tight as Courtney Love.

I try to run the Victory Formation as often as possible.

Off topic, but:

I actually got "Schiano'd" the other day, when a CPU controlled DT broke through and decked my QB who was taking a knee...

Never saw that before...

I've had it happen almost a couple of times, but it triggered the "run out of tackle" animation from my qb who promptly runs into his own linemen and sprawls out on the ground, much more entertainment value to cap off a win haha

Texans Offense
I prefer running the ball at least 25 times a game. Im not that good at shootouts, which is why I hate playing online now.
I run on first and second, depending on the situation, and I hardly get 3rd downs, Ill run something from a power formation.
I just recently had a nice game where my defense did most of the work, but it really was my gameplan.
I ran just 13 times for 78 yards and 2 touchdowns (Foster also had 77 yards receiving off 2 passes, one went for 60 yards on a designed PA boot, HB wheel.) Schaub was 8 of 9 for 170 yards and 2 touchdowns, 158.3 passer rating.

Basically, Run to set the PA, that is it, My 2 lone touchdowns with Schaub were deep PA passes because he was run blitzing, and Johnson easily beat the press and was wide open.

Im usually conservative, if I have a 21 point lead, Ill run, and run, and run some more.

I've been practicing more with the Gibbs playbook, and I'm finding that there's LOTS of explosive potential in an otherwise run-heavy book. All those one-back sets and multiple TEs can fool you. There are great PA shots downfield as well as a bevy of deep comebacks, good clear-out routes for deep shots on the post as well as the corner, and numerous options for backs.

I think there's lots of fun personnel wise in that book. I have a #1 TE who is a good blocker and decent receiver, a #2 TE who is a monster blocker, a FB who is a blocker, 1 power HB, 2 speed HB, 2 possession receivers, and 2 speed receivers. The right formation subs on a given down can give you an almost goal line feel or a vertical feel.

I found a great gem in the Gibbs WR reverse, which actually works so you don't have to cut it inside like you do most other books, and for the first time ever, I found that reverse guy wide open across the field on a PA reverse--I mean like Moses parted the Red Sea. It was pretty great.

I'd highly encourage folks to check that book out. Very versatile, and lots of cool motion possibilities. You can pretty much rock any style of back you want in that offense so long as the OL can pull and the TE can seal. I have KC running it right now and its lots of fun.

Pass-happy, 4 and 5 wide packages. A mixture of Air Raid and R&S. At worst, I'm about 80 pass/20 run, but I'm usually as high as 90% pass. I don't even pretend to be balanced; I'll have drives where I won't even run the ball at all. I'll throw it 50-60+ times a game. WR and HB screens take up a big chunk of my running game. When I do run, it's normally a straight-ahead dive or a draw as a change of pace. I don't call runs in the huddle unless I'm inside the 5 or something; I call a pass every down and audible to a run if the defense looks good.

I'm restarting my 49ers dynasty with the Walsh playbook. Love it.
