Warrior General Games

Is there a place that lists the various offensive formations?

Like this offensive formation for example: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=193409&pbp_id=2436386

Is there a list somewhere that identifies these?

WR1.....TE.LT.LG.C.RG.RT.TE.....WR = Single back big
//////////////////////////////////QB

//////////////////////////////////RB

WR1..WR3..LT.LG.C.RG.RT.TE.....WR = Single back 3wr
//////////////////////////////////QB

//////////////////////////////////RB

WR1.....LT.LG.C.RG.RT.TE.....WR = Weak I
//////////////////////////////////QB
///////////////////////////////FB
//////////////////////////////////RB

......LT.LG.C.RG.RT.TE.TE.....WR = I believe this is their Big I
//////////////////////////////////QB

//////////////////////////////////RB


WR1..WR3..LT.LG.C.RG.RT.TE.....WR2 Shotgun 3 WR

//////////////////////////////////QB.RB

WR1.....LT.LG.C.RG.RT.TE.....WR = Pro Set
//////////////////////////////////QB

////////////////////////////////RB/////FB

WR1..WR3...TE.LT.LG.C.RG.RT.TE....WR5.WR4.WR = SG 5wr

//////////////////////////////////QB

Wow. Thanks guy. I wish there was some way I could repay you for your help.

One thing and it confuses me. But I noticed two I formations where the FB and TB are both lined up straight behind the QB (FB neither strong nor weak) but in one the TB is right up on the FB and one the TB is lined up much deeper. The rest of the formation looked the same to me. I thought that was puzzling and don't know the difference between the two.

TB up close: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=193409&pbp_id=2439159

TB back more: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=193409&pbp_id=2438645

They are the same formation.. no worries.

What is the offensive play called that comes out of that "Strong I" most of the time. I notice some teams run it on almost every play. Some hardly ever run it.

The strong I has several plays. It and the normal I are the hardest to defend against since there are multiple runs and multiple passes.

your shotgun five wide formation is going to get some 13 men on the field penalties

Probably referring to the offtackle run. HB to the right, with FB lead blocking, right?

is there a way you can specify which formation you want to run or does it auto choose pending on your AI setup?

i'm new to this but would love to figure it out.

You can only force 1 formation - GoalLine.

Shorteous is correct.

Shorteous is definitely right. The "deep I' is treated exactly like the normal I for DefAI purposes.
