Wing-T 3
Version: 3.0
Formations / Plays:5 / 81
Style: Run-heavy offense. Uses three RBs: 2 HBs and a FB, but can be modified through the formation editor or the depth chart (subbing a HB at FB). Relies mostly on misdirection fakes and a mobile offensive line rather than power. The FB is the straight-ahead banger, mostly up the middle, while the two HBs are used more on sweeps outside, misdirection reverses/double handoffs, and fakes. Passing is mostly playaction passing deep, and screens. Motion is a huge part of the offense.
Notes
The Wing-T is a mainly high school offense that is run-based, using mainly misdirection to throw off the offense. The offensive line is heavily involved in the gameplan - they are asked to do a lot more than just base block. The general premise is to have more blockers than defenders at the point of attack, and the misdirection causes the defense to hesitate just long enough for the blockers to get into place.

This offensive playbook for Madden includes plenty of misdirection plays (double handoffs, reverses, motion pitches, bootlegs, and playaction passes, among other things). The passing game is fairly simple - either deep passes or screens. If you're looking for a west-coast style offense, this is the wrong playbook (you can try out my Spread Offense Playbook, email me for the zip, in that case).

This playbook takes advantage of a 'flaw' in the play editor to do several of the more creative plays - so please test out plays in practice mode to see how they should be run before attemptint to use them in the game. Motion is also a big part of the offense - please view the included html file for motions explained. Many plays WILL NOT work without motion.

There are 5 formations (Weak, Strong, Double Wing, Trips, and Empty), along with 81 plays.
