NCAA Football 10 Blog: The Rebirth of the Flexbone Offense

[truzoe]

EA has just posted another NCAA Football 10 blog. This one covers the rebirth of the flexbone offense.

Quote:

"Hello all, my name is Anthony White and I’m here to share with you all what work we did this year for the Flexbone offense. Going into our current development cycle for NCAA Football 10 our top playbook priority was making sure our version of the Flexbone offense is a more accurate representation of its real life counterpart. We didn’t necessarily want to just take what’s already in place on the Gen 2 versions of NCAA Football. Our goal was to take it above and beyond anything that had been done previously with the Flexbone offense on any platform."

I was REALLY hoping this was dealing with custom playbooks. We NEED custom playbooks for dynasty, adds so much replay value.

Last summer we were able to acquire the actual coach’s game film of the Navy Flexbone offense. Having access to this valuable resource really gave us an advantage when it was time to identify what new formations that we needed to create, what plays did we need for those formations, and most importantly what new player animations we needed to mo-cap in order to get those plays working properly in our game. The results of our efforts produced eight new formations and over 200 new plays.

Here’s a look at the new formations that we created based on our film study.


Flexbone Twins Over

is it against the rules for someone to cut & paste the blog for us blocked at work?

Let the "This is useless to me...." "I will never use this..." ect. start... I can already see people upset...

I think this is awesome. Being someone that TRIED using FlexBone in the game as well as ran it in high school it needed some work done.

the Flexbone offense really needed the upgrade, it was terrible.

This looks cool, but I wish there was a defense on the field so we could see how they react to it. Kind of ho-hum for the most part though, nothing that exciting IMO. I think this formation will be abused online, looks like a cheesefest. But still, cool.
