Now that it's in the GLB forum, I can help you.

Put your HB at the backup QB slot. Also, make sure that your Advanced Energy settings for QB are set to 0/1 so that the HB never throws a pass.

Put the QB at the TE1 spot and the TE at the HB1 spot. Any time you choose to go with TE1, your QB will be at TE, your HB at QB, and your TE at HB.

Now I'm sure many of the OCs out there would like to use the Wildcat, as I've heard countless stories of how owners are trying to get their team to install it. First off, a disclaimer.

NOTE: The Wildcat is not something to be used exclusively; only an added weapon to your arsenal. If you run the Strong I Offtackle a lot, then the Rollout Weak with the Wildcat could get some big gains. The same thing with WR Screen and HB Slam in the Single Back.

For those who don't know what the Wildcat is:
Originally posted by tragula

In the GLB world, the "Wildcat" is a HB playing in the QB position and running with the ball.

In real football this is a much more specific set of plays (the basic wildcat has 3 plays) involving a motion into the backfield and a HB taking the QB position.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR76aoKghM8

Requirements:
1) One QB System*
2) One Custom TE Slot
3) HB** with 85+ Speed

With that being said, it's quite obvious that you won't be able to fill the last requirement until your team enters its 3rd season. There are some exceptions where you may find a slowbuilt speedster, but it's highly unlikely.
Once you've finally have everything set, it's time to put it together.

1) QB Slot:
Starter- QB
Backup- Fastest HB

2) Custom TE Slot (Doesn't matter if it's 1 or 2. Most use 2.)
Starter- QB

3) Energy Settings
QB Slot- 1/2 (Or 1 out, 2 in.)
Favor backups? Don't. Unless you're playing a cupcake team, it's better not to risk it. Gives lots of laughs if you HB does throw the ball though. [ http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=246744&pbp_id=9936090 ]


* As of the current updates that Bort has made, 2QB systems are impossible without running the high risk of having your QB run the ball as well.
** Many people have tried using speed WRs, but HB has the lowest out of position penalty between the 2.

FAQ

Q:Why does my HB come out for passes?
A: Chances are that your energy settings are wrong, or you're favoring backups late when you're up.

Q:Why did my QB run the ball instead of the HB?
A: Once again, it's either your energy settings are off, you're forcing starters. Also your depth chart might be wrong, or your inputs do not match your depth chart.

Q:I put my QB at the HB/FB/WR slot, and he ran the ball instead!
A: Only the TE custom slots override the QB slot. In otherwords, just use the TE slots.

So, what is the purpose of putting your normal QB in the TE slot?

To take him out of the QB slot so the HB has to take the QB spot.

Hilarious misadventures with completely stuffed-up wildcat experiments:

Somebody forgot to put the HB in the backup QB slot, so the kicker got nominated as the emergency backup. Don't do that.

That doesnt answer my question

any way i have set the AI to do the wildcat offence within the 5 but how would i get around doing it with 2 QB's would i have to put one in at FB? or maybe put one in at WR... i know this would have more of a penalty?

Thanks
