I think you know what I mean Solidice. We don't have to be dicks.

Even with my complaints about the fundamental brokenness of the option, I can't get over how awesome it is to have run and shoot stuff in that offense in the game.

I suppose we'll see the same sorts of plays in SMU/Hawaii's playbook? Sweet.

The only team that I see that could really abuse this is Florida with so much offensive speed, UF with this playbook would be nasty to try to defend IMHO. Still I like the work the EA team put into making this playbook more effective. Good work EA.

i would never let someone use florida and run the flexbone. it doesnt fit them. they are a shotgun team.

I don't get what some of you are saying that only 3 teams have access to this playbook. Any team can select this playbook or any playbook to use before a game starts. You just can't cherry pick certain formations to infuse into your "custom playbook".

I said three teams because I was talking about my offline dynasty. I know everyone can use any playbook. Heck, I don't use Miami's when I play with them. I use balance.

lol you know it brotha...............

oregon too

and yes defense would be nice.. my guess that they didnt show defense is becase they are still tuning stuff or they just wanted to show us the basic motion of the play when it is run.
