I think i mite be the only person that uses the Giants playbook with the Giants. Ha ha. I been using it for every madden, mostly because i'm too lazy to change it. It's been working for my intermediate game, but i'm just not a pro at it... don't got it mastered, ya know. Any suggestions in how to master this simple, yet difficult playbook?

I've started using the Giants playbook recently because of this thread. So far, I think I really like it. I mostly run with the Bengals and I think that the book fits well with that team.
The variety of running plays found in the book are very nice out of the I form. It's got an adequate Strong I and Weak I formation set and I think that the variety in the single back sets are sweet.
The Weak I Normal Off Tackle run works fairly well with the Bengals O-Line against a 4-3 front. Sometimes a huge hole opens between the tackle and the guard while the FB seals the outside and sometimes the I can spin off of the tackle's left hip and run it to the outside as well.
I like the r3 audibles so far and I'm glad that the book doesn't have a 3 TE set since the Bengals TE's aren't that great and I legitimately do not have a 3rd TE.
The only thing I don't like is the presence of the Full House. I'd much rather have another Shotgun set than the Full House.

As with any playbook try to find a few basic plays and expand. For instance out of the Shotgun Trips there is the slots flat play and the Delta. Both plays have some nice reads against both man and zone. Also the HB Swing out of the Singleback Big is a good place to start.

I love this playbook! The weak and strong formations are my favorite. Mix it up with passes to the hb and you are ready to go!

Yea, I use this pb as well. With any team I use I run the Giants pb. Mostly out of the singleback and shotgun.

My friend uses the Giants a lot. The tournaments we play require you to use the default playbooks.
The I-Form with both receivers on the left is deadly.
Running from the full house is useless but there are good options to get the TE and FB the ball. It's a pretty well rounded playbook.
