(Litez's Thoughts)
Â
Â
Strong Tight - Strong Tight should be a very strong run set. It also has good routes for the passing game. I used this as a base Offense before every single down so I know it can work in pretty much any Madden.
Â
This alignment has stacked wr’s on the left and the two receivers on the right are set in a normal spread look. You can motion the Te to the line to block him if needed. Drive h wheel is flooding the middle of the field and left sideline with a corner route. Z spot, corner strike and Salem pivot all have unique corner routes to threaten both sidelines. Pa read is the big money play here with a crosser and deep post stacked next to each other. Levels and Y Sail can attack middle of field from left to right. Also has fade out with two posts of different depth next to each other. Run game is a quick base and inside zone. This is a very good formation from a route standpoint. Has everything you’d need. Question is, can it deal well with heat?
Â
A new formation that could be a really good play on early tournaments if people don’t know how to defend it. It’s only three plays. A blast, a power rpo and a verticals play. We ran this a bit in regs during the beta and it felt great. You can hang onto the ball with the QB on the RPO play and it’s very hard to stop. If there’s a slot apprentice this is going to be hell. Main issue is you can’t audible to other plays in the formation. Similar to Wildcat, whatever play you come out in, you’re stuck with. You also cannot audible in and out of the formation.Â
Â
Overall thoughts: They really overhauled this book since the days of tight offset te and off trio weak. Could triple stack be good?  Maybe. I like the stack y flex. I feel like you may get screamed at though. Â
