So what formation and team is everyone running this year

[ATL BOYZ 404]

I havent been online yet but whats americas favorite formation this year. There has to be one. There always is. What formation is everybody running this year. You knew last year all the so called top ballers ran Shotgun Tight and Shotgun Bunch. So what formation or formations is it this year so it wont be a surprise when I get online. Whats the favorite team this year. Last year it was Philly, Atlanta, And Minnesota. I know the Colts are up there this year. But it has to be aonther 2 or 3 teams that everybody uses and claim its their favorite team.

this is getting very boring. u cant get on here and talk Madden no more. If its not a thread either bashing somebody or asking what playbook should i use nobody even responds. whatever happend to discussing Madden. u think i made this thread to copy other folks stuff. i got my own stuff. i just want to see what formations are popular. :confused:

[TrickyDyk]

I haven't been playing online so I have no idea. I'd imagine a lot of other have been avoiding online as well.

[MaddenPlayer]

I have been using the Strong I-Form and mostly Shotgun 4 wide 1 RB

[bigred67385]

The teams I see the most online is Oakland, Denver and New England

I see alot of people running Iform a lot running TwinTE and alot running Singleback tight

[HustleManDave]

I dunno what formations are being used. I'll just assume that the new formations are the ones being used alot that. Personally I'm liking the Singleback 3TE and Big Twin WR out of the Bills playbook.

[GiantNFC7]

I'll use full house alot in the first half and mix in some PA but then i'll open up my PB and use formations such as I form big, SB trips bunch, Weak I Twin WR (Which I love).

[all prodigy]

i use mainley Weak-I type plays,Fav.s being weak-i normal,close and tight twins!Since i mainly roll with my Broncos,the strong-I Big tight for. is a fav.,i also like the singleback big twin WR,and twin TE WR! Ive been expirimenting with the SB base flex for. but havent used it much in games.the strong-I normal is a fav. as well!!!

....i ve been practicing with the Bengals(love their playbook),split back normal and 3WR sets,...nice!!

[Maddbrett1]

Raiders (2 Wrs 2 RB 1 TE)
Vikings (4WR 1 RB) (3Wr 1 TE 1RB)
Falcons (5WR, 4WR)
Colts (3WR, 1RB, 1TE)

This is what I've noticed for the most part


In that order

[FAME]

Nothing really, i have yet to see someone with a very good offense or score 25+ the formations i've seen the most are simple ones Iform Single ifomr twin te strong ect, iform the most though everyone i play uses this, some use it all game, i have no idea why though it doesnt work........

teams i played the most by far the most is ravens i've played this team about 15times the rest is mixture.

[Brutal Attack]

Whatever formations have TE corner routes cause those seem to be unstoppable with a good TE.

[HYPNOTIC WBC]

So far there has been alot of variety...I dont consider there to be a bubble gum formation this year so far...

[StreetPack]

I have been seeing a lot of Kansas city in my online play... regarding formations... right now it's wide open everybody seems to be running the different formations... but high passes are all the rave (how could you avoid them, there TOO effective)

[steelersrock]

Any type of I-form. I-Form-Big has been working great for me especially when I put Bettis at FB and Stalet at HB. Also its a great formation to pass out of. I form twin also works great.

[BEAT0]

i havent seen any very popular formations yet but i imagine some kind of singleback. but.. ive been running DET pb with philly. i mainly use single back - tight slots. and on d i use balanced d with nickel and dime-flat.

[steelersrock]

Also on D I always use 3-4. Bringing the blitz hasn't worked that much for me so I've been covering and get 1 or 2 picks a game.

[vicar]

i only use my hometeam, browns, and the browns playbook. changing playbooks is fun i guess, but i prefer to use the playbook of the team given for the most realism. if i used another team, i'd stick with that teams playbook as well since i think that's the most legit way to play.

[Brutal Attack]

3-4 totally owns this year. Outside blitzs are about the only pressure you can get.

[Petrags23]

I have been using the Balanced D playbook. Does the 3-4 playbook have better 3-4 plays than the 3-4 plays in the Balanced book?

[GiantNFC7]

3-4 totally owns this year. Outside blitzs are about the only pressure you can get.

Really? I get run over when I use the 3-4, I need more of a base defense and a reliable Def. line to be successful.
