Gameplanning Primer

[Sharkn20]

I really like to play a short-pass happy like Patriots game in offense, but I can do cause Andrews know 16 different formations, and "familiars" not usually be on the Logs... I also search for a WR that can catch and run with the football with a great AD + RR and BPR on his bars!! Maybe I´m wrong but this year Andrews won the MVP awards...

Other thing that I need to be better is to put the ball in our WRs more than in our RBs, maybe lowing the screen % is the solution, thanks Nutah

Fellas I re-up this Topic to talk about the formations...

The loss of eficiency is in run and pass situations, or if your QB doesn´t know one formation have the penalty in pass only??

Tell me about that!!

Thanks a lot gurus of FoF!!

If your QB doesn't know the formation it will randomly pick a formation he does know to run the play out of. So, basically, when you gameplan, don't have any formations your QB doesn't know in it.

Bump this for the new guys like me that are trying to take their games to the next level.

How do I know which safety is going to double a receiver when i call for it?

[Sgran]

I would assume that the SS does the honors, and the FS plays center field, but I have no knowledge of how the game works. They say that zone defense is more important for your FS, so that suggests my assumption is correct.

My long answer: It's hard to determine "who" will be in on DC at any time. If I recall correctly, I tried to run a test on this a while back, prior to doing so I wanted to see at an eyes glance, what all the plays that read "...threw into double coverage..." and were incomplete being defended by a player on defense. Due to players that may be playing out of position, depth charts, I felt there wasn't enough that I could gain by trying to run a test on it in bulk.

My short answer: dunno

I clicked on game designer & formation Designer there was nothing there, just says click here for new spreadsheet. Guess I took too long reading this thread.

How does the game decide who is the #1 and #2 receiver? Yards gained or specific ratings?

[Aston]

"Top Receiver" is decided by the WR with the highest Route Running ability, I believe.

Sorry about the spreadsheets. I don't know what happened to them; I might dig it up at some point if there's interest. The links seem to KEEP breaking, though.

Is there a way to set up a nickel blitz?

Not

Is there a way to set up a nickel blitz?

Yes, right? As in, you only blitz from the nickel? I don't think you can go finer in controls than that, i.e, "when I blitz from the nickel, blitz this player ___ % of the time, but when I blitz from base, blitz this player ___ % of the time."

However, I typically only blitz from the nickel or dime, so it's basically that. Rex settings for blitz from nickel/dime are also much higher than from base personnel.

[Delandis]

I mean blitz the nickel defensive back in a nickel package?
