I-Back Offense
Version: 1.1
Formations / Plays: 7 / 81
Style: The playbook is balanced, but the running game is more developed. The HB, FB, and QB (even the WR a little) all carry the ball, with the QB option play featured a little bit. Running is generally basic - you won't see an array of the fancy double handoffs, reverses, and misdirection stuff that is in my Wing-T. This playbook is more similar to the Spread offense, actually, the main differences are just the personnel package (this offense makes use of a true FB), the QB's mobility, and the formations.
Notes
The QB, FB, and RB all contribute to the running game. The QB features a wider-than-usual selection of running plays, including several option plays. Madden isn't really designed for this, so I tried to keep them to a minimun. The base formation is I-backs, the offense includes a doulbe TE set, and a 3WR set, as well as the original. Motion is used to modify formations forther. Also in the offense is a Maryland I, with three backs lined up in an I, for use as a goalline/short-yardage set, mostly. All formations include the standard fare of running plays, including basic dives, blasts, tosses, counters, and stretches (off-tackle, kind of). New is a Sprint Draw - a quick little handoff, as the QB sort of rolls out. Not perfect, I had to tinker a bit with custom routes, and there are still some little problems. Passing game is pretty standard through my playbooks, you'll see some motions, basic routes, mostly quick passing plays, with a lot of crossing, and routes for the backs out of the backfield. Several screens are in, including a middle screen.
