Near Formation is terrible for the run

You've got several NEAR formations for the West Coast Offense and not a single run to the outside nor screen. Horrible.

  • Especially considering you've got all these old-timey players from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s back when the SWEEP was THE premier run play.
  • do you guys really need more OP outside runs? The stretch isn't enough?

    Talking about west coast formations the outside sweeps where the staple of the west coast offensive. To not have that and pro spilt backs but have pistol formation is a disgrace.

    There are no classic sweep runs in the game.
  • What is strange is, it must have existed in Madden 20 at one point and then removed. https://www.playbook.gg/20/playbooks/1238-west-coast-offense/11006-far-pro/117622-hb-sweep
  • In June of 1963, Vince Lombardi spoke at a coaching clinic in Reno at the University of Nevada. Madden signed up as soon as he heard about the event. Madden thought he knew everything about Lombardi and his offense. For a young coach, Madden thought he had a lot of football knowledge. “But I didn’t know anything, ” Madden later recalled. That day Vince Lombardi talked about the Green Bay sweep play. He talked about the play, showed film, covered the normal defensive adjustments to stop the play, how to counter the adjustments and answered questions. The presentation lasted eight hours! He talked about one play for eight hours. When Lombardi paused for just a minute for questions, the first question was asked by Sid Gillman, the head coach of the San Diego Chargers. Gillman’s team would win the AFL Championship later on that year. They all came to hear Lombardi.
