Expanding the Option Playbook

When I say “expanding the option playbook” I don’t mean we need new formations in it to run different plays. What I want to see is new packages out of Wishbone and new plays and specifically Wishbone. I want to see power, toss, trap, counter, dive, etc. In the old NCAA games we had a wide package with two WRs and a normal package with one WR and a TE. The offense dominated the old game and most people ran tight and don’t get me wrong tight is great, but I want to see more than 10 plays in the whole formation. I’d like to see the Wishbone expanded on and maybe even the Split-T also expanded on. Would anyone else also have interest in more of an old school approach in the game instead of the high flying/gun slinger approach like most players?

    I would also enjoy making custom plays in the game. I’ve studied the wishbone offense inside and out and I love the options out of it. I already have a good amount of success out of the wishbone and wingbone but the wishbone needs a formation with wide receivers and broken bone variations with a RB in a slot position. I’m not sure how much EA actually pays attention to these forums but I would even give them plays to put into the game if it mean all they had to do is code it in so they wouldn’t need to think and draw them up. None the less, We need a wide, normal, twins, and a formation with a TE and WR on the same side of the ball. This would make a huge change and would balance out the air raid because people could throw out of it now and have a much better running game than just inside zone. 

  • I'd love that. Hell, one of the first fictional offensive schemes I came up with was the T-Bone, which revolved around split backs duo (think two-back split T variations), the split T, the wingbone, and the wishbone. It may've had some Maryland I as well. Currently, my spread T offense, which focuses on pistol duo and split backs duo variations is the closest thing to this. I hope to, actually, figure out and use my raid option offense, which is more of a spread option look (pistol and shotgun with a wingbone kicker), before the season ends. Obviously, I'd go, absolutely ham, IF (big if) they added in a formation/play creation/editing suite.
