CFB 25 Flexbone Thread

[Flex on them]

I thought I'd start a thread that strictly talks about the flexbone. I saw a thread like this during the NCAA 14 cycle. What are your thoughts about the offense in this version? I enjoy this offense a lot. One major issue was getting your b-back involved in Ncaa 14, but now it is very easy to get him involved in this game. I ran into a few issues/glitches with the book, but I'm still enjoying this offense.

I’m looking forward to doing a dynasty with it. I’ve been using other playbooks for now but think I finally got the option keep/pitch mechanics down and am ready to give it a go on my first real dynasty. I’m trying to decide if I want to take one of the service academies and use their playbook, or pick a different low prestige school and try to build them to run it.

Also, after doing some recruiting and seeing this game doesn’t tank ratings for players playing the FB position it will be much easier to have a good player in that B back spot.

Possibly could work depending on the ratings. They would have a high overall but might lack the ball carrier attributes needed to be good as the B back in the flexbone. You at better off recruiting power HBs and changing them to FB or recruiting utility FBs.

One thing I have noticed is that the read keys are not correct on a lot - not all - but on quite a few midline and veer reads, they have the incorrect read key. Only pointing this out b/c if there are people who rely on the key pre-snap, they're gonna make the wrong read and it could very easily cause them to

Nice. I'm still feeling out the reads. They happen so fast sometimes. And I noticed that the overalls don't take that much of a hit anymore, which is great!

I plan on using it starting tomorrow. I usually only recruit athlete qbs and many RBs. Wr, is less important.

I like going after big WRs that could possibly win jump balls and catch those contested 3rd and long passes in one on one coverage. My backs are usually fast enough to be the speed threat in the passing game if needed. Hell I may even just recruit more TEs, move them to WR, and move more athletic OLine guys to TE.
