FORMATIONS AND PLAYS

[blue21]

I noticed they took out the "Near" and "Far" formations
Why? That makes absolutely no sense at all, I loved using those formations.

Has anyone found any new plays or formations you've liked so far?

I like the Shotgun Split Slot- Shovel option. 2 HB's
You can run it like an option to one HB or throw the short shovel pass to the other HB like Elway and Favre used to throw.

Really? Did you check through the custom playbooks menu?

In the Chargers play book, there's a few bunch plays I like. I like to master the bunch formations, because people seem to favor cover 3 in h2h.

On defense, they got this new formation in Nickel. It looks pretty crazy, but I haven't got the hang of it yet.

I'll get the name of them soon.

Is the Bill Walsh playbook still on the game? I know you can't use them in custom playbooks but his book had the most variety of the classic far and near forms.

2-4-5 double a gap
Nickel dog 3 buzz
SS dog 3
And cover 2
The key with these plays are to just make the offense think about whose blitzing and whose not.. It's been a high risk and reward formation for me. If I can user the middle of the field right then it's a pick, because that's what LOOKS open.

Dime 2 3 6 or sub is a great pass defense if you have a run support SS like Kam to help on draws and shot gun runs.

Dime 3 2 6 will is definitely my favorite though. I love the blitzes out of there. I don't stick to one play when I'm playing so it's perfect.

Theres no Bill Walsh nor any of the hall of fame coaches playbook anymore
Theres a west coast offense but its not like the years past. Theres no far and near in the playbook and they added shotgun to the west coast offense.

Well that's disappointing....looks like they removed the legend books to add the shot plays and updated plays. Did they happen to add anymore variety to the strong and weak IForms sets? I remember last year they took out the tight versions (22 personnel) of these sets. It'd be nice if they brought them back.

Try the 4-3 stack SS Sam Blitz against the pass. I sub the RE with a pass coverage LB.

1. Press "rb" then up on the right thumbstick then
2. Press "Y" then "rb" again

Sometimes I also put the outside blitzing Safety in a fake blitz but QB spy for the QB's who like to run. Guaranteed INT's or pass break-ups
