    Colts- Gun Bunch- Colts DBL Trail- The Colts don’t use the Bunch formation very often, but when they do, this is one of the plays they like to run out of it, especially in the red zone.

    This is borderline (or maybe beyond) nitpicky, but I really don't like how cheap the playart looks in these Madden plays. Look like heavily compressed versions of what we should really see. The posted NCAA images look so much better.

    It is very nitpicky, lol. But, it's also true.

    Cowboys- Gun Y-Trips Cowboy- Cowboy Slot Slant- This is a new formation for Madden NFL 12 where Miles Austin will line up in the slot. The Cowboys like to use this play to create one-on-one matchups in the middle of the field with TE Jason Witten and WR Miles Austin. Witten will run a quick drag clearing out the middle while Austin will run a slant in behind him. This play was used in a week 7 game versus the Giants.

    Bills- Pistol Strong Slot- Bills Inside Zone- Bills Head Coach Chan Gailey was one of the first NFL coaches to start using the Pistol going back to his days when he was the offensive coordinator in Kansas City. In this new formation to Madden NFL 12, The Bills line up HB Fred Jackson to the right of the QB and HB C.J. Spiller directly behind in this Pistol set. Jackson will receive the handoff going to the left while Spiller will fake to the right.

    I look forward to more NFL teams adopting at leasrt some Pistol formation plays. With the right QB it can really make an offense dynamic.

    Cards- Gun Empty Trips- Zona Short Post- When it’s a passing situation and the Cardinals need to pick up a crucial first down, the ball is more than likely going to WR Larry Fitzgerald. On this play the Cardinals line up in an Empty set with Fitzgerald lining up to the far right. He’ll run an inside dig type route while the slot receiver runs a short hitch in front drawing up the linebackers to create the opening. This play was used in a week 2 contest at Atlanta.

    Honestly, I hate plays like this in VIDEO GAMING. The DB's too often stand directly in front of the stationary receivers. It will be interesting to see if Zone D is truly fixed so as to avoid these issues.

    Chargers Gun Normal Y-Flex Tight- Charger Cross- Another new formation for Madden NFL 12, TE Antonio Gates will line up closer to the right tackle in a receiver stance. On this play, Gates will run a drag route underneath drawing up coverage while the backside receivers run a cross and a dig respectively. As defenses collapse on Gates underneath, QB Philip Rivers has his choice of receivers coming across the field for a big completion. This play was used in the Week 1 game at Kansas City.

    Chiefs- Gun-Split Close- KC Z Spot- This play is a very common play from a variety of formations throughout Madden NFL 12. In this particular case, however, the Chiefs like to use the Z Spot concept from the Gun Split Close formation to utilize the speed of HB Jamaal Charles coming out of the backfield. This play was used in a week 10 game at Denver.

    Falcons-Gun Trey Open- Falcons X Drag- QB Matt Ryan and WR Roddy White have become one of the most feared passing threats in the NFL. On this play, the Falcons like to align White tight while isolating him on the backside and have him run an underneath drag route. White also has an option route that will allow him to check up against zone coverage while continuing across the field against man coverage. This play was used in a Week 2 game versus the Cardinals.

    Giants- Gun Wing Trips NY- Giants Go DBL Post- Giants WR Hakeem Nicks had a breakout season and became QB Eli Manning’s “Go To” guy in the red zone. On this play, the Giants have TE Kevin Boss run a mid dig route while slot receiver Steve Smith runs a shorter corner route. These combinations open up the defense for Nicks to run a Post route in behind for a big gain. This play was used in a week 2 game at Indianapolis.

    Jaguars- Strong Pro-PA Jags DBL Post- The Jaguars are a run first team and like to control the tempo with HB Maurice Jones-Drew on the ground. After establishing the ground game, they like to use play action to take shots down the field. One of their big play action plays is this one where they look to try and hit their huge, breakout performer TE Marcedes Lewis on a post route.

    Jets-Snugs-Jets Slot Post- The Jets love to try and confuse the defense with different looks and this is one of the formations they utilize to do just that. On this play, the two outside receivers run wheel routes to stretch the field while the slot receiver runs a post down the middle. This play was used in week 10 against Cleveland for a 25 yard TD pass from Mark Sanchez to Jerricho Cotchery.

    Oh my. If that play every made it to NCAA I'm sure that would become my go-to 3rd down play -- and probably result in my offense becoming way too predictable. I do love wheel and post routes.

    Basically the same composition as quite a few of the plays from the Syracuse/New Orleans playbooks. It's nasty but receivers running into one another can be a pain in the ass.
