Playbook Expansions
I’m not sure if EA devs look this and I know this isn’t their call, but the executives NEED to allow the devs to expand certain formations. I’d really like to see the Wishbone, Wingbone, Split T, etc. All of the one set formations need more sets and more plays. I’m a HUGE Wishbone user. I use it against CUT ranked players and in Dynasty mode. The problem running the Wishbone in Head to Head is that there is only 9 plays and one set. The better players that understand football, or players that abuse game mechanics to win ball games, understand what rushing and pass plays are coming. Rushing plays consist of: Triple Option, Double Iso, Power Option, FB Sting, and HB Lead. Even with limited plays you can still win ball games with Wingbone as almost a supplement to not enough Wishbone plays. The players that understand the sport of football play the best against it; although, even if they know the sport and haven’t seen the formation they tend to struggle against it. The formation could quite literally take over the game. In NCAA 14 the formation with just the “Tight” set was extremely good. In online it was a dominate scheme to run. I still have a copy of NCAA 10 with the, normal, wide, and tight sets and multiple plays that wasn’t just option based. I’d like to see that again. I wish I had a screen shot of NCAA 10’s wishbone playbook. Executives of EA Sports, please allow your developers to expand the single set formations.
