Best Playbooks So Far?

[Petrags23]

I was wondering what you guys think are the best offensive and defensive playbooks so far.

Last year, I know the Pass Balanced playbook was widely used and considered the "best" according to the VG book.

Kinda like asking "What's the best shoe size?" Whichever one fits you best.

I know it's whatever works best for you... I was just saying, like the Pass Balance was the "best" last year, according to VG. So what is the "best" this year?

[mddnplyr]

The Panthers, Vikings, Pass-Balanced and this year Run-N-Gun makes it back to the top of the charts. Run-N-Gun has many nice formations such as Shotgun trips, Shotgun trips bunch, weak I, Full house, strong I. That might be the pb I stick with this year.

The Run N Gun is what I am currently using. The Weak I - Twin Tight ( or whatever it's called) is incredible. Plus the Full House is my favorite formation. Good PB right here.

[mddnplyr]

Yeah, that weak I-tight is a mother. It may take me a while to learn that pb but that is the one that I like. The full-house formations are very nice too. This pb reminds me a lot like last years Green Bay pb. The run n gun is nice, very nice.

Well, just to show you that there is no answer to your question, I thought Jax was the "Best" last year. After that it was Denver then Wash then Minny.

haven't gotten too deep into it yet, but I like what I've seen from the NYG pb.

[JSchmooIV]

do u guys think run n gun or gb's pb is better this year?

Have the playbooks changed all that much in 06? The St. Louis playbook was my bread and butter in 05, and it looks like they have basically an identical playbook this year with only a few additions.

My fave formations are ones that can easily confuse the defense, and I usually start most games from these formations to loosen my opponent up. I like to run from the Singleback 4 Wide Set and the Singleback 3 receiver bunch set, then pass from the I-form Twin TE and Singleback Big 2 TE set. Once you get your opponent on tilt then you can go back to pounding the ball in the big formations and passing them in the 4 receiver formations.

STL was one of the better playbooks

you just have to go into practice mode and try a few out. It depends on you;
Do you like to run a lot, pass alot. It also depend on your favorite formations.

As for me, I've used the dallas playbook since 2002 on Game Day, and then 2003 - 2005 on Madden. Its simple, got everything i need, and I know the plays like the back of my hand. If one man isn't open, I know where my 2nd and 3rd options are supposed to be.

The dallas play book has changed dramatically this year (on madden) and don't contain a lot of my plays, but do have some other good ones though. So I'm gonna peep some other playbooks.

[SweetMonkeyLuv]

The main reason I think its a silly question is that your book should be an expression of what scheme you wanna run, and what scheme you wanna run should be centered around how to get the most out of your personel. That said, its entirely possible that you could have a different "best" playbook for every team you use regularly.

I'm pretty much a one-team guy (Go Vikes!), so I generally pick one book a year, and I'm done. That book is heavy with formations that emphasize my best set of skill players. I'm a big believer in the idea that you keep your best players on the field, and ask them to do what they do best, and good things happen. But I'd be silly to take that same book and try to use it while playing with the Rams or Patriots.

Rumor has it that STL is virtually unchanged, but I'd say others are wildly different and/or expanded.

Panther playbook is what im using so far..Only negative is it dosent have any I form.
