Hey my boys! I just wanted to clear something up since I didn’t really mention it in the video. This is meant to simply showcase “How To” run the Option in CFB for those that don’t know how. I’m going to make a part 2 that breaks down advanced methods to making reads, when to audible if needed, fake pitches, etc but this is mainly for newer players because I was getting this question from newer people. My apologies if it was a bit vague, but I’ll be making the in depth video very soon! Much love to everyone and thank you so much for the support! ❤️👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

I can't believe more playbooks don't have a triple option. It's my favorite play in the game. Apparently nobody runs a nice triple option out of the I-Formation these days. Smh this is how I find out I'm old now

I agree! Not a lot of triple option in other formations. Why can’t they have the same options in the I formations and Wishbone? Why only one Wishbone formation? They basically have a trillion shotgun formations with very little variations like trips right but the same formation with a receiver off or on the line. Why can’t they just in corporate that into playbook as the same formation? I actually love they would allow you to move plays in to different formations that you prefer or even better let us create our own formations and plays. I personally would love to run some Wing T or the Houston Veer.

As unfortunate as this is gonna sound I can nearly guarantee this won’t be on PC 😢 it’s a tough loss for a huge contingent but according to my EA rep, NIL deals are restricting a lot of the player customization that EA hoped to include in the game. If the PC community got their hands on this title you know we’d have a customization field day that’s what we do we’re creative like that 😅 but yeah man at least for the foreseeable future it looks like this title will be console only unless a deal is made allowing likeness editing to be done for existing players. That being said it’s an amazing game so far and the addition of Team Builder this Friday is going to be a chance for those of us that like customization to really shine. Also, once I grow a bit more I’ll have access to console giveaways so stick around for that my bro! Much love man 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

So if he’s got two and one is dim that means it’s an option route so the receiver will have the option to take one of those two(or more) route patterns based on how the defender is playing him. Hopefully this helps I do believe this is what you’re asking about 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

This is just to show someone new to the game HOW TO LEARN CONTROLS for an option play.

I’m stating what I’m gonna do to show you if you don’t hold X it’ll hand the ball off so naturally I’m calling out my decision. If you’re not a beginner this one isn’t for you fair enough.

Hey Larry! I just jumped into the game to check that out for you. I went all through the game controls in the settings menu in-game and in the main menu and as of now it seems like there’s no way to adjust the controls for how an option play behaves, but I’ve been told that there will be some changes and improvements coming this Friday July 19th that will address some of the limitations players are noticing in the early release. I can’t say I’m terribly optimistic that custom controls will be one of those changes, but I’ll keep an eye out nonetheless and hope that we get that functionality at some point! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

The only thing that work for me is pressing X (or A on Xbox) to ensure the QB keeps possession otherwise he will automatically hand it to the HB on a triple option.

@prycegod6 ай бұрын
Step 1: PLAY INSIDE OUT. Before anything else, plug the A-Gaps. Option sets (like the Flexbone or Wing-T) are designed to control T.O.P, bleed you 3 yards at a time, then gash you with big plays on the outside. Constant “3rd & 1s” are gonna make you rage quit. Step 2: NUMBERS. Option blocking schemes always leave 1 man (usually the play-side DE) unblocked. You need at least 7 or 8 in the box. Run a 4-4, or walk down a Safety for run support. Only use zone defenses for longer yardage situations or more traditional formations. Step 3: USER CONTROL. If your opponent runs the option, chances are, you’ll see the same play about 20x before halftime. Ideally, everyone wants to get the pitch man into the open space outside the tackles. User control your OLB or Safety to maintain outside leverage & fill running lanes. Step 4: MAN COVERAGE. You need a “Hat-On-A-Hat.” Man blitz schemes help define key responsibilities for each player. Good news is, teams that run the Triple Option usually have weak-armed QBs, a leaky OL, or unskilled WRs. (If those positions were solid, they wouldn’t run that offense to begin with!!!) Cover 1 (or other man blitzes) with a single-high Safety should work. Hopefully your CBs don’t suck.
