Great videos btw, I really enjoyed everything you've done since last year. Dumb question I purchased NCAA because of you but my 13 year old wanted to get into it as well and wanted to know if you knew anywhere that was giving free codes for Xbox out? I know you were going to but don't want to seem like I'm just asking for a code.

[@demarcojohnson6147]

Why can’t we practice in dynasty mode?

[@RadicalWrangler]

Utah playbook has been my go to. 10+ singleback AND shotgun formations, wildcat and the HB double pass!

[@LonghornsLegend]

I'm just trying to learn these RPOs a little better because they're a quick pick 6 if you don't have it down

[@Pro2call1]

Know the defender yu supposed to read for example if my wr has a slant I read the outside Ib or the s as yu snap the ball yu watch their first step if it’s away from where the receiver is running yu throw it if they go toward him it’s a pick 6 like yu say

[@nehemiahwright3799]

@@Pro2call1 But bro how do you keep the ball and pass it. Ive tried Hitting X right before hand off, Holding X, doing nothing. QB just continuously hands the ball off.

[@M7CHVEL]

@@nehemiahwright3799someone correct me if I’m wrong but you’re supped to throw before you hand to hb. So as soon as you snap you should be ready to throw the ball. Pretty much look for the throw first then worry about the HB

[@nehemiahwright3799]

@@M7CHVEL Yea bro ur right. Mmm idk if i like how EA designed the RPO pass. I was thinking that it wud be a fake hand off to HB then QB pull up for the pass. I havent really found a good RPO where im finessing any defense. Im usually stopped right at the line of scrimmage immediately lol. The most ive gotten on a RPO pass is like 8 yrds lol

[@timothyrapp1741]

@@nehemiahwright3799The point of the RPO tho is to take the easiest yards available. They are so good on first down to create easier late-down conversions or third and short for that reason. They generally aren’t meant to be big plays, it’s about creating easy 5-10 yard plays based on what the D gives you. And it gets your playmakers in space and then maybe they turn it into a big gain.

[@elevateskillz]

You can tell this entire game is geared towards offense. It's fun so far don't get me wrong but defensive playbooks are limited and match coverage is currently busted in many areas. Because of that, You have to run man which gets cooked or zone which can be picked apart so it's pretty much trying to outscore people when playing good players. Defense wins championships, defense needs more focus. Edit: Nobody is arguing college isn't more offensive driven than the NFL. Everyone knows that... That has nothing to do coverages being coded incorrectly. Match qtrs, palms and the rest of Saban's Cover 7 world is currently broken.

[@DougieDuels]

What bro this sounds like a skill issue. They said this about the past two maddens, I have never been sad on defense, just get better!

[@elevateskillz]

@@DougieDuels I'm Not the best but I'm currently undefeated in my 32 man league with SMU. Pretty good wins over top ranked teams ran by good users. But back to the topic, idk how match coverage busting clear assignments is a skill issue. Let's talk ball if you really know what you're talking about.

I use UNLV’s playbook for my dynasty and the duo over looks are nasty ! They have a lot of option plays and plenty of passing plays too. It’s 100% my favorite playbook in the game

[@brandonhubbard607]

Just wanted to send up a shoutout to you bro. I'm in the military and I've been following you since like 2017. I was big in playing Madden competitively online back then and stayed consistent with that until 2023. Watching your videos definitely helped improve my competitive play so much that some of my opponents were able to call out that they could tell I learned from your videos. My favorite game mode was MUT Draft and I was ranked 71 in that mode in 2022. I've slowed down on it since having kids but am trying to get back into your videos now that I have NCAA 25. I've always enjoyed your content and wanted to say thank you and keep it up.

[@greencat1849]

I've been using Hawaii playbook, and it has some really good medium pass plays with good quick screen formations.

[@Mrhenry_fit]

What I got the most out of this video is I am going to have to make my own playbook lol

[@austinruiz8170]

That UNLV play book looked dope! I'm play with that one for sure

[@KingCariochi]

Gotta check out the Kansas playbook. A lot of shotgun and pistol. Reads, jets, and rpos. A lot like what Urban Meyer used to run at OSU.

[@gbaby1372]

Yea Kansas is nice

[@dhrn6196]

Michigan is great especially if you want long sustained drives and to dominate your opponent. Alabama has a nice one as well with a little more creative. Michigan’s is nicer as you get to utilize heavy TE sets allowing for mismatches and better protection. Very hard to stop a Michigan playbook when mastered.

[@EVERYDAYFOOTBALLDAY]

My favorite one cause I love to control the clock and game

[@pacificboy5637]

Started using Texas state, I’m a shotgun only type of coach lol so it’s perfect for me 20 shotgun formations, & 370 plays, u have read options, inside/outside zone runs, plethora of passing plays, RB screens, qb options, WR reverse, and even has wildcat formation, this playbook has everything u need out of the shotgun!

[@marcusbriggs3223]

Michigan playbook is good if you like Play action, and defense has solid plays

[@Trillshipp2k]

Has everything you might need in a playbook

[@SportsTalk-J]

I’m bias but I like the Texas play book. I like the rpo and misdirection quick passes to the flats.

[@bigbrando5240]

Love Texas too. But man there are so many playbooks way better as far as PVP is concerned

[@ricoeubanks2026]

Are they adding create a player in a future update because RTG and dynasty mode is fun but being able to make wat ever position you want is better to me

[@isaiahmcclain9826]

doubt it

[@Teenxnage]

I hope so everyone wants it me and my brother was on RTG for a while then we click back to the menu to look to see if we can create players and we can’t .. its no option- it’s honestly sad i really hope they addd this it will make the game wayy more fun for offline players 💱, on top of that if u create to many RTG PLAYERS U RUN OUT OF SAVE SPACE IN GAME and it’s probably gone lead me away from the game of nun changes about it ..

[@youngliltay]

Facts definitely a missing gem man

[@Aaron-vp7zj]

I use a multiple offense and a 3-3-5 Tite-Mint defense. Stops the run and just as equal jamming receivers.

[@jamesanderson1063]

The 2 teams I really want to run Dynasty with, OU and Navy. Love seeing them at the beginning of the video.

[@brianblunt2949]

Not sure if you covered them but Michigan State has a well balanced playbook as well.

[@cbjae11]

Yo eric thanks for the vid but can u tell Bordeaux to tap Square to slide

[@shelbyesters5732]

Been using kentuckys playbook. Been dominating in the gun formation under spread offset. Dagger curls is un stoppable if you let it develop

[@cjboyer4355]

Currently giving Oklahoma State’s playbook a spin in dynasty and I’d say it’s my favorite I’ve used so far. Lots of motion but balanced between the run and pass.

[@multiplespreadoffense8248]

Texas states playbook is another great one if you wanna look at Run and shoot concepts

[@BurchyGaming]

That fiu playbook got me with those wide formations. Started my florida state dynasty with a loss. 😅 threw 2 pick 6’s and those wide splits kept getting me killed

[@jamesanderson1063]

Can you do a video explaining the best ways to run an efficient RPO play? Also, the flea flicker.

[@makeyaselffamoustonyporter7923]

I’ve been using notre dame playbook but those unlv Alabama & Arizona playbooks caught my eye

[@rashondemond]

I’m having a lot of fun with this game but two issues… my main issue is the offensive line blocking. Seems they’ll hold a block for literally half a second and a pass rusher in your face in the blink of an eye. Maybe needs to be tuned. Lastly the skill gap in this game doesn’t matter much because it’s difficult to win a game unless you’re using a power house team. Im a die hard Rutgers fan & a very good ncaa/madden player and I can’t use Rutgers because I’m usually running into folks using Georgia, Bama, LSU etc. I noticed the difference between the power schools and the smaller schools isn’t necessarily the overall that’s the problem but the speed difference of the players. Just look at speed differences between smaller and bigger schools. It should be overall and talent based not* speed because then I can play with any team I want and I’ll have to rely more on my user skills & defensive adjustments. Just my opinion

[@tankwilson5156]

Don’t forget these are his ideas as to what is the best offensive playbooks

[@brandonhubbard607]

I'm trying to find a good playbook. Something similar to the 49ers on Madden. So far, the playbooks that I've come to kind of like so far (only having the game since Sunday) is Pro-Style and Power Spread.

[@garyroyal1730]

You just earned my subscription today, bro! Some of these playbooks are insane

[@Zustran]

Bama's playbook is OP as hell... my receivers are practically always open. Almost every pass goes for a TD. Run game across the whole game is broken as hell too. Spin move is GOATED

Hey I saw that if you have a 3.7 gpa for your first three years you can graduate early so you don’t have to worry about your grades your senior season… but if you redshirt your freshman year (you redshirt if you ride the bench the entire season) does that mean you don’t have to worry about your gpa for your junior and senior year?

[@JonahOliver-y3n]

Hello, my name is Jonah. I am a huge fan of this game. I was just curious about your next video or a future video. Can you please check every team's media poll ranking found in the "my school" section of the recruiting stage under "championship contenders"? If so, this would be awesome because the actual preseason poll only has the first 25, and the other 109 can only be found this way. The reason is that I am making a 64 team bracket for the top 64 teams, and numbers 65-68 are the first four out.
