The flexbone is a nightmare to run for me. I can make do out of split shotgun, heavy pistol, etc but damn flexbone makes me lose my mind. One mistake and the defense is taking it back for a touchdown

So is there a common courtesy thing in this dynasty about sharing scouting reports on prospects or should I just keep quiet about them?

Ok good.

I think this person already has lots of talent so it probably wouldn't matter anyway.

The CPU is absolutely horrendous at defending the zone read. I feel cheap if I run it more than a a couple times on them. For the most part though, I feel like just about everyone here knows how to stop it. I was excited to run it a bunch when I first got Nick Stanley, but I quickly found out I was much better off just running a power run without the threat of the QB keeper. For some reason my line always blocks it better than they would the read option.

Depends if you want us to recruit them harder or not ... Also, just so you don't make the same mistake that I did in my first season, keep in mind that you will probably not be able to out recruit us. Right now most of us unlocked just about all of our HC experience, so we should have better recruiting attributes than you.

If I see that you guys have offered a guy a scholarship I'll back off immediately. I've been hitting the scouting department hard on all of those 3 star guys and there's some mighty fine talent in those ranks.

In NCAA '13, I ran the flexbone exclusively. I was pretty damn good at it. I find the flex option in '14 to be basically useless.

It's frustrating because I enjoyed playing randoms online and making them quit with my 4 yds per play offense.

The midline option was money. Fullback dive up the middle until they crash the line, then pull it for the big play. Used to run it online with Florida and had Rainey and Demps as my wing backs. So fast.

The triple option out of the shotgun and pistol are not as grind-it-out and have more big play potential, but are not as consistent with the shorter yardage stuff.

Back in 2011 or 2012, cant remember which one, I used to play with Ohio State and dominate people online. It was the only year the game has successfully put in a wildcat formation. Now it seems like the wildcat never works.

Used to love running offense with Dan Herron, Brandon Saine, DeVier Posey, and Tyrelle Pryor. Very dynamic.

It makes you wonder if the developers made it that way to mirror how the wildcat has died the last few years.

One particular play out of the wildcat works for me sometimes. (Until he fumbles at the end of the run against GP)

Do you guys know if height affects offensive and defensive linemen?

I run a couple of wildcat plays that work about 20% of the time. When they work it's a huge play usually.

I don't pay attention to height of anyone except wide receivers. I doubt it matters very much, but I haven't tested it out.

Alright. I don't think it should matter much beside batting down passes on defense.

Done.

My defense is starting to play well.
