This week’s blog posting for NCAA Football 10 goes over in great detail the improvements made to the Flexbone including new formations and plays as well as how it is more accurately portrayed in the gameplay. Included are screens of the formations and videos of it being run. You can check out the extensive look at the Flexbone here.

Last summer we were able to acquire the actual coach’s game film of the Navy Flexbone offense. Having access to this valuable resource really gave us an advantage when it was time to identify what new formations that we needed to create, what plays did we need for those formations, and most importantly what new player animations we needed to mo-cap in order to get those plays working properly in our game. The results of our efforts produced eight new formations and over 200 new plays.

If you don’t utilize the Flexbone there isn’t much to get out of the posting. However the screenshot above is a nice example of the “set up” plays that are linked together in the playbooks. Run the toss multiple times throughout the game and the potential of a play action toss fooling the defense will be higher.

videos arent doing a whole lot to me. Without seeing this run against a defense I cant tell if it is all that better from last year or even at the level where it was last gen which I liked much more.

These formations being added to the game by EA Sports are clearly infringing on Fisher DeBerry's intellectual property. EA Sports and the NCAA are continuing to exploit the genius of the league's past and present coaches for their own profit.

It's good to see they're finally freshening up the playbooks. There's just so much out there, but 200 new plays is pretty good.

NCAA 10 or should I say NCAA 2009.5 looks weak this year. This will be the 1st year that I don't buy it. What the hell have they really added this year besides Create a School & Team Builder? What about presentation & gameplay? Where are the refs, chaingangs, coaches on the sidelines, etc..? What are some of the gameplay enhancements? It's gonna be hard to play this game after seeing what Madden is doing this year & I love College football.

Have you seen all of the improvements to the Dynasty Mode? The new offensive line blocking? Who knows how good or bad this game will be until it comes out, but haters like you are so so so funny!

Love the flexbone. Highly effective offense when the right personnel is in place. I'm anxious to try this and Madden's Wildcat. I just hope that EA doesn't destroy these innovative offenses like they made sure every draw play resulted in a four yard loss.

i've actually have had success with draw plays….. you just gotta know what formations to run 'em out of and when to run 'em.
