    CFB 25 - Flexbone PSA

    I've been in the lab running flexbone and I noticed a difference in the speed of the WB motions. In all the formations that are symmetrical with 2 WBs, all the option plays and rocket tosses go to the right with a light blue path. There is only one option play that goes left QB CNTR Option with a red path. I found that all plays to the right get that blue path. When those plays are flipped to the left, they get the red path. The red path is shallower and faster, because in the QB CNTR Option it's not a motion and the FB is gone. What does this mean? Well, Rocket Toss left and Load Option Left are more effective because the WB gets outside quicker.

    I also notice that FB Toss is different depending on with way you run it. Again, flipping the play to the left messes it up, but this time in a negative way. FB Toss right works normal. FB Toss left, the FB will take a step forward as he catches it. This makes it harder to get outside on FB Toss left.

    Also, Flexbone Normal, TR Option CNTR isn't an option play. It looks like it, but the QB gives it no matter what.

    As I find more stuff I'll add it here.

    Additionally, I'm trying to figure out why sometimes the WB pitch man will stop. Again it seems to only happen on runs to the right. If you arc back and get too close to the pitch man, he will stop and even run the opposite direction. But on the flipped runs to the left, the pitch man will stay wide and outside and be a pitch option. Even to the point where it will count as a pass if behind the line of scrimmage.
