View Full Version : Your Custom Playbook Setup (Pure Speculation)

With the addition of Custom Playbooks let's hear some possible playbook setups. Now I know this is pure speculation at this point, but why not talk about it anyway.

I think I am going with A couple of Ace formations, Couple of Offsets, Pistol, and some Shotgun.

I loved the pistol in last years game, but I didn't like the entire playbooks, so now I can pick and choose.

Maybe I can call it the "Pistol Balanced Offense" :fp:

I ran across this article online so I figured it would give more insight possibly on the NCAA custom playbooks even though its referring to madden.


Jon Robinson: Custom playbooks have also finally been added to the game this year. How big can my playbook get?

Phil Frazier: You can have up to 400 plays and up to 75 individual sets in your custom playbook. You can also have up to eight custom playbooks saved. And with 400 plays, I don't think our fans and our community are going to have any problem filling out a playbook.

Jon Robinson: What's the coolest playbook you've created so far?

Phil Frazier: I'm a Redskins guy who has always been intrigued by the Wildcat. So I built a Wildcat playbook for the Redskins and tried it out. It didn't really work with their personnel, but it was still a lot of fun to give it a try. Mike is more of a competitive "Madden" gamer, so he is more likely to choose three or four plays for his playbook and call them all game long. He is that kind of guy.

Mike Scantlebury: I wouldn't say that I only run three or four plays the whole game. I'm more of a formation guy. I'm a 5-wide bunch guy and a guy who likes to have Full House in the same playbook. Usually you don't find those two formations in the same playbook. A lot of those teams who have multiple receiver shotgun formations are limited when it comes to running formations. So if I can create a playbook that has some strong running formations and pair them with some exotic 5-wide sets, that's awesome for me.

Jon Robinson: Again, though, this is something people have wanted for years. Why did it take so long to implement?

Phil Frazier: One of the important things to know is that when you're creating your custom playbook, you can pick literally any play in the game. Historically, we couldn't load up every play like that due to memory restrictions. So when you start to scroll through the playbooks and you start scrolling through the formations, you have every single play, every single formation from every single playbook in the game, and that's really what makes this feature a success.

So lets hear it fellas.

This is REALLY going to be interesting.

I'll probably try to use a playbook of: 1/3 Spread Formations; 1/3 "Traditional" Formations (Standard I Form; Ace; etc...); 1/3 Power running and possibly Flexbone formations.

Basically, I'd like to create a playbook where I can literally run any type of offense depending on matchups and my personnell. Hopefully, the defense can also create custom playbooks so that a TRUE Chess Match can develop between OD coaches.

aww I didnt think about Defensive custom playbooks.


This is going to get interesting. I already have about three setups swirling through my head.

As I employ the 5- wide full time... I play 99% off-line dynasty, I will use some of Wyoming's 5- wide set, UTEP because they have 5- wide under center and shot-gun and some from SMU/Hawaii.

I will also have some 4- wide under center for running if/when I am up big late.

One defense, I love the 46, so I will combine Multiple D and 4-2-5, because they each have 46 schemes and I hate having to choose between one or the other.

oweb26
04-28-2011, 03:55 PM
I absolutely loved the 46 out of the multi d setup. The inside blitz ( I cant think of the exact name of the play) was an absolute beats with two good LB's. I have made plenty of Goal line stands with that play.

Is was pretty tame out of hte 4-2-5 and wasn't it in the 4-3 book also? As I never really ran the 4-3.

going off the names from the formations in NCAA 11(and the ones we know will be in NCAA 12), mine will probably look something like:

Ace - Normal
Ace - Slots
Ace - Y-Trips
I-Form - Normal
I-Form - Twins
I-Form - Slot Flex
Pistol - Full House
Shotgun - Spread Flex
Shotgun - Spread Flex WK
Shotgun - 4WR Trio
Shotgun - 4WR Trio Str
Shotgun - Slot F Wing
Shotgun - Split Offset
Shotgun - Wing Offset
Shotgun - Normal Flex Wing
Shotgun - Normal
Shotgun - Ace
Shotgun - Wildcat Spread
Goalline
Special Teams

for Defense, I've been using the Multiple D most of my time with NCAA 11 and loved it. So it'll likely be similar to that. couple of 3-4 and 4-3 formations. I'll probably add the new 4-2-5 Okie and 3-4 Predator formations and try to fit in the 4-4 as well.

I read your post and immediately thought of my Golden "O" (simply 5 WR sets with runs by qb's and WR). In an NCAA 11 offline Dynasty, I used Missouri's playbook since it had the most 5 wide and empty sets.

This year with custom playbooks I will use the following playbook (based off of formations in NCAA 11):
Empty- Flex Trey, Trips
Shotgun -5WR, 5WR Bunch, 5WR Flex, 5WR Flex Trey, 5WR Flex Trio, 5WR Tight, 5WR Trey, 5WR Trey Flex, 5WR Trio, 5WR Trips, Bunch Quads, Empty Quads, Empty Spread, Empty Trey, Empty Trey Flex

I'm not sure how many duplicate plays, other than QB and WR runs, I will have in all those formations probably very few. I run a few different offensive styles in my different Dynasties, but my pass happy mind just loves the Golden "O", lol. I will add in a couple power running sets either from goal-line or from I-form to help with chewing the clock and with short yardage and goal-line situations.

Offenses have all these fancy names... you have the West Coast, the Run & Shoot, the Air Raid... you have your Golden O... mine is simply called: Raider. The Raider offense is a combination of the R&S and Air Raid, w/ some West Coast principles in it. So why Raider? Because it was the 2002 Oakland Raiders and Rich Gannon that gave me the idea for this offense.

In week two that year, Oakland played at Pittsburgh and Gannon threw nearly every down... hitting 43 of 64 including 9 completions to Jerry Rice in the first quarter alone! That year, whenever Oakland went 5- wide... w/ guys like Tim Brown, Jerry Rice, Jerry Porter, Charlie Garner and Doug Jolley... Gannon was probably somewhere around 90% completion percentage.

They didn't go 5- wide that often, but when they did they were unstoppable. And so... my offense was born! The Raider Offense baby! :)

Nice! I like hearing all the names people come up with for their offenses or defenses for that matter, it makes them feel more alive or personal.

I remember when I was younger I was absolutely fascinated with the R&S (Houston Gamblers, Univ. of Houston, Detroit Lions, and Houston Oilers), but the best football video game of the time Tecmo SuperBowl really failed to replicate the R&S in fact today's games do a pretty poor job as well of replicating the true R&S. I loved watching the old under center R&S more than the June Jones Red Gun but both utilize the same basic concepts so I can appreciate both. It seemed back in the day that Jim Kelly, Andre Ware, David Klingler, and Warren Moon could pick apart a defense with ease and constantly have them confused throughout the entire game with the passing game of the R&S and that was always entertaining to me. I remember that Steeler/Raider matchup and was just amazed how precise and unstoppable their passing attack was that game. Rich Gannon might have had a weak arm, but he was accurate and knew how to throw a catchable pass. Plus having that receiving corps sure made his job easier, even though Rice and Brown were older they still were top notch players at that time.

We naming our playbooks now look out cause the Pony Express will employ shotgun 4 wide 99 percent of the time and some type of shotgun with a TE 1 percent of the time.

Defensively I dont know yet hopefully can get back to a mix of 4-3 and 3-4

Solidice that seems like a Playbook set that is already in the game. Lol

The pistol hybrid setup seems very interesting, before my game broke I still owned all the rushing records just by running the pistil, though having a qb wwith a 95 speed and a 90 acceleration didn't hurt either.

for all of my teambuilder teams in online dynasty.....my offense will be all 4 and 5 wr pistol sets, replicating hawaii's run and shoot.

defensively, i hope to include a lot of exotic looks. i pray that custom packages and at least a play editor will be in, but if they arent, i guess i'll get over it.

i'll probably go with the multiple base playbook with very few traditional looks from the 43/34. i wanna show the 44 look out of the 425 as well as the 353 stacked look from the 335. hopefully they bring back the 155 look, then i can formation sub a couple of safeties/cb's in, for situational 3rd down looks.

Pistol Spread RNS Switch Smash – Hawaii’s run and shoot offense can now be run from the Pistol formation. The traditional staples such as RNS Switch Smash can now be found in the new Pistol Spread formation. Hawaii and SMU’s playbook also features the run and shoot version of Pistol 4WR Trips.

Man i could never settle on either playbook Nevada or Indiana, I think I use ball state playbook the most, with Indiana's and Neveda being used equally, because it had more balance to it and some of the passing concepts in the pistol playbook were just terrible took entirely too long to develop. I do love the running concept though.

I didn't know Indiana was a pistol team. I didn't like the generic pistol running plays at all so I went with Nevada figuring they had the only other pistol playbook. I was always a "Pro" style guy but I gave the pistol a chance last year out of pure curiosity. I still can't run the option out of the pistol but I have a handle on everything else.

I really struggle with running out of the Pistol. However, II usually recruit balanced QB's who are a tad slower. Maybe I would be more successful with a scrambler...

The Nevada playbook has more powers, counters, and draws then the generic pistol book so I have success running when the line actually blocks (bad blocking and piss poor coverage are the 2 things that upset me when playing).

As far as QBs go, even the scrambling QB's seem too slow to run the option. Well, it's not that they're slow. Their acceleration is slow, giving linemen time to make a play. I may look at athletes more in the future.

I haven't played NCAA 11 in a while now, so I don't know or remember any specific formation names. My idea though, is to have a spread-option playbook w/ shotgun-flex and pistol formations all w/ 3 or 4 wide. I'd like to recruit power backs to play the normal HB position, and scat-backs w/ good hands (or receivers w/ good running skills) to put in the slot. I'll look to run a lot of triple-option w/ the slot guys coming in motion. Basically a flexbone type triple-option attack, but out of the shotgun/pistol where it is easier to pass when I need to. Also like some of the wildcat stuff in Mississippi State's playbook last year, so I'll probably add those as well to use as a change-up and to chew the clock. I used the Bulldog Heavy formation pretty successfully last year for short yardage plays.

I really don't know where to start to be honest with mine LOL. I will have to go back and look for plays I liked in ncaa 11 and write the play names and formations to just get the tip of the iceburg on mine. They was so many formations and plays I like but, they will dink and dunked in different playbooks. It was hard to settle on just one. Now we don't have that to worry about! :)) :clap: I can't wait!!!! :nod:

I will probably go with alot of shallow cross (X,Y,Z) stuff out of the shotgun. Mixed in with alot of short route passing routes to the slots and dump offs to the RB's and heavy running. Again I will have to go back to my playbook notes from 11 and look at what formations I looked for thoughout the year. Mostly I used Houston, mutiple, TT, FSU, and Run Balance (the one that had the wide Power I)

I'm so excited about the possibility to due custom playbooks. :))
I guess my offensive playbook will be wide open. I am thinking since I am a spread guy that I will have:

Multiple Sets from the Shotgun:
5 Wide
Bunch
Trips
2 Back (for running)
Pistol
Wildcat
Doubles (2x2)

Then for those short yardage and eating clock games:
Power I
Ace
Wishbone
Flexbone

Defensively I want guys to have to try and play a chess match with me. I would love to incorporate formations out of the 4-2-5 Playbook. These can be really big against pass heavy teams when using it right. I am also a fan of the odd stack (3-3-5). We run a lot of these fronts where i coach. Its great against the run. Every Gap is accounted for.

Lot of sb undercenter sets for me, especially sb trio. For my 2 back sets I really liked the weak close from miami book as well as the I Form close from the Arkansas as well as some others. To compress everything it would probably look like this for

ACE BIG
SB TRIO
SB BUNCH
SB SPREAD
SB DOUBLES

I FORM PRO
I FORM TWINS
STRONG CLOSE (Only if I get a freaking counter to go with off tackle) doesn't matter this set is one of my favorite undercenter pass formations
WEAK CLOSE
I FORM CLOSE
I FORM CLOSE TWINS

SG Y TRIPS
SG SPREAD
SG TRIO

Thats really too much Shotgun for me lol

Mine is going to be called The Kitchen Cabinet cuz it will be a mixture of different seasonings and spices :) For Ace i will have 4wr trips,bunch,bunch swap, double flex, bunch base, wing trio and Tackle over. I will have the Maryland I. I will run Goaline Heavy alot with a dt. I form normal, H tight, Tackle over, and Ytrips. I will have maybe one pistol formation to get the other team panicked or confused every once in a while. Too many too count but i will run goofy looking shotgun formation usually. Also i will run alot of weak i.
My D is called 1944 cuz i will 95% of the time run 4-4d.

06-16-2011, 09:59 AM
My playbook will start out as a 4-5 WR Shotgun Air Raid offense (that throws the ball 65% or more) and will be altered at each step of the way as I progress through my two drastically different dynasties that I plan on doing (TB dynasty with Saint Augustus will probably stick to the 4-5 WR setup for the most part until I decide to go differently - my dynasty where I start at a shitty :1star: school as a DC and work my way up the ladder will be different because I won't be running an offense at all for the first 7-8 seasons, but, once I do get a HC job, I will definitely be implementing the 4-5 WR Shotgun Air Raid offense and the personnel of the schools offering me a HC job will probably greatly effect my decision of where to go so that I have the best chance of implementing said offense).

Defensively KEONTEZ and GARY PATTERSON LOL, both have me intrigued with the 4-2-5. I will be running what U would call a Multiple 40 Defense whuch would include

4-4 for heavy sets
4-3 normal cover 2 Buc (Tampa 2) as my base
4-2-5 for my Nickel look for multiple wr packages

The above would be my core

Man, I'm really gonna have to think about my defensive playbook. I haven't given my custom defensive playbook really all that much thought, besides the fact that I'd really like to stick with the 3-4 defense and it's variations.

Until I have the game and able to explore the books, I don't know what formations I'll run. All I know is my offense will be the Pistol again and my defense will be multiple with no 3 lineman formations.

Ahh another pistoleer. That will more than likely be my base offense (the screens out the pistol are just beautiful), I am thinking of putting some Strong and weak I in the mix, as well has having the 3-4 as my base with some 4-3 concepts. I cant really say for certain what exact plays I will run but thats why I like OD because I can recruit to my hybrid offense and defense and not have to be forced into a situation where I cannot run what I want due to lack of position players.

Sounds like we are looking to have similar playbooks on both offense and defense. I like that I can adapt the pistol to the personel that I have available. My aim will be to run a spread-option out of the pistol, but if I get a great pro-style quarterback I won't have to completely scrap the playbook.
I also like to have a hybrid defense, starting w/ a 3-4 base. I look for recruits who can fit a DE/OLB spot so I can use 3-4 and 4-3 formations as well as hybrid S/LB players who I can put at nickelback, the second safety in a 4-2-5, or OLB in base sets. This allows me to give the offense a lot of different looks, but with basically the same personel.

One of my offenses.

Mich St base Pro style

The formations are not as important as the philosophy. There are things im trying to do and 29 of the 35 formations do just that.

24 variations of the I, 3 more fullback formations and 2 primary shotgun run formations. 2 under center passing formations and 4 shotgun passing formations but only 2 without any running backs. The playbook will have some QB option but it will depend on the QB. pocket passer will trade hand offs for the option plays and mobile qb's will run option.

Looks like a lot but its really 29 lead blocking formations. Some will have only a few plays ran from them. Same concept with different player packages.

Base attack design is to ID man/ zone, pressure OLB, DE to hold edge / contain, attack safeties. overload strong side on runs, flood weak side zones on passes.

Recruit philosophy= Will stick with my base plan ive always used. But i will make FB and blocking TE a priority. I might also test looking for a big physical agile oline recruit with great acceleration to move to FB /TE.

I believe there is a formation sub called "Miami" that puts the DT in at either FB or TE.

Wow with custom playbooks I will have to create quite a few playbooks for the "systems" i run.

Dana Holgerson Air Raid- typical shotgun air raid with pistol full house, and a few other pistol formation to create a vertical PA passing game.(Oklahoma state and WVU)

Ken O'keefe pro style- Base look of two TE's with only inside and outside zone as running plays, then add unbalanced formations to gain leverage.(Iowa)

David Yost Spread- Purely shotgun passing game with emphasis on empty looks and trips. (Missouri)

Others I will try to create will be Paul Christ's Wisconsin Power running game, and Chip Kelly's spread offense.

With the unique Wildcats being hidden, I'm thinking more that I'll convert a standard formation into a wildcat. Basically take something like Shotgun - Slot F Wing and sub in a WR or HB to take the snaps and run it.

I was sorta bummed out about this. That's what I ran in 2011. Hard to find a running back who can throw a little and it's hard to find a QB that runs like a running back. I used the Miss St playbook and tried to emulate a single wing offense the best I could.

Off topic: I did notice that in the wildcat formations, if you ran a power fake and waited until the playclock was at two or three seconds, it would snap the ball without the auto motion and made for a really nice power run.

Anyways, maybe the hidden formations could be unlocked via a patch?

Hey solidice, I got this from Utopia, Can you explain what 2x2, 3x1 and 4x1 one is. I think setup with be great for florida. Which I run with online.

Okay your 6 main concepts are:
Mesh
Shallow Series, Y, X, Z, and H
Smash
Corner Y, X, and Z
4 Verts
Stick
Leach and his Disciples use the Shallow Cross series as a base. So you should too.

Y is the more common, but the point of the Raid is to run the same concepts with different LOOKS (includes different receivers run the base routes.) Thus, Z, X, and H are used in the mix.

Leach used a base play script of
1. Y Shallow
2. H Shallow
3. X Shallow
4. Z Shallow

The QB would call the base, come out and read the D, Safeties down. He would audible based on his reads. You can watch several hours of footage from his days at TTU and you will see him run the Cross Series 5-6 times in a row, then go over the top when the defense cheats up.

So lets say I have 10 formations in my CPB.
Form A. (3,1,1 personnel 2x2)
Y Stick
Shallow Y, Z, and H
Y Corner
Mesh
Smash
4 Verts
Jailbreak
HB Dive, Power O, Sweep, Counter, Draw
2-3 PAs off the runs

Form B. (4,1 personnel 2x2 normal)
Same plays as Form A.

Form C. (4,1 personnel, weak flex, HB Wk)
H Stick
Shallow, H and X
X Corner
Smash
4 Verts
Mesh
Bubble
Run series

Form D. (3,1,1 personnel, strong flex, HB WK)
Same as Form C.

Form E (3,1,1 personnel, Strong Trips)
Stick
Smash
4 Verts
Shallow Y, Z, and X
Mesh
Double Post
Jailbreak
Run Series

Form F (3, 2 personnel, Strong flex)
Same set as Form E

Form G (4,1 personnel, weak trips)
Form E

Form H (4,1 Personnel, Strong Trips)
Form E

Form I (4,1 Personnel, Outside Flex 2x2)
Form A

Form J (4 wide, 1 TE or 5 wide personnel, if you can find the package, 3,1,1 personnel that will piss off someone not prepared for what they face.)
Form E

So 10 Formations that Changes personnel and different flexs and alignments with the same base plays in each set.

thanks,

john

john,

I also saw this over there and the 2x2 3x1x1, etc is the makeup of the receiving and running corps.

2x2 = would be like a QUADS or 2 receivers on each side of the OL. So if it says 3,1,1 personnel 2x2 that would be 3WR, 1 TE, 1 RB in QUADS.
4,1 = 4 WR 1 RB and then you would say 2x2 (Quads) or Trips, Flex, Weak Trips, etc.

I hope that makes sense.
