Improved & Team Specific Defensive Playbooks
NCAA Football 11 focused on "120 Ways to Win" and improved offensive playbooks. Now, the community would like to see the same attention focused on defensive playbooks. Common requests include team specific defensive playbooks and plays, including using team specific terminology (IE: Nebraska's Peso Defense). Much like the offensive playbooks were revamped last year, this feature would take a look at each teams defenses to see what they do that stands out and makes their defenses unique, and then add the formations and plays within that team's playbook. Some of the most requested improvements to the defensive playbooks include: Adding the 3-4 Predator (as found in the Madden NFL franchise), 3-3-5 and 4-2-5 Defense adding 2 high safety look with their base defenses, updated coverages within the 4-2-5 such as split field coverages or Q/Q/H (quarter, quarter, half coverage), addition of proper stunts to the 4-2-5, 4-4 and Bear front defenses, etc. (Round 1 Discussion - Round 2 Discussion - Sweet 16 Discussion)
Improved Offensive Playbooks
While this request could probably be included year after year, the NCAA team took a good step forward with their 120 Ways to Win approach to offensive playbooks. However, one of the chief complaints with playbooks is that they aren't fleshed out properly. For example, an I-Form in a particular playbook may have a Dive and Counter but not have a Blast or Weak Dive. Other examples would be when an auto-motion gives away a play (ex. Jet Sweep) but there often aren't plays to trick the defense that this play is coming (other than a Playaction version). (Round 1 Discussion - Round 2 Discussion - Sweet 16 Discussion)
