Warrior General Games

Scouting one particular opponent, they ran a 3-2 defense every time they faced a 5wr shotgun formation. They lined their 3-2 up with d-line normal, lbs, cbs, and SS lined head up on recievers, and FS 12 yards off the offensive center. I decided that I wanted our offense run the wildcats in some running situation (including 1&10 which i will use as my example.. The hole in the middle was huge enough, that I was willing to take the penalty to have my RB's and one of my FB's run the QB position. My 1st & 10 input had my RB set for rb2 and TE for te2 I had a backup in RB2 and my starting QB at te2, with 2 rbs and a fb listed on the QB depth chart under my normal starting QB.

Problem I can't figure out is that in the 1st quarter, the A.I. was calling the series of plays I wanted, but was not substituting the players I wanted in the game. It looks like I have the RB and TE setting correct. Is there somewhere else in the offensive setting I should be looking that my be effecting the substitutions?

Had problem in the third and fourth quarters making wrong formation calls, but I figured out what I did there. But it called a couple plays from formations that I didn't have in the playbook. (i.e. weak I called from a random setting, when only plays in playbook is singleback, shotgun, and 5wr shotgun) Any clues, or general direction pointing would be appricated...

If I understand your situation correctly, you're trying to run the wildcat out of a 5 wide set. The issue there is that there is not a TE on the field, so it doesn't force your starting QB into that position, so he stays at QB. I do not know of a way to run the wildcat unless there is a TE in the formation.

okay, that would make sense. what I was trying to do then would only work if I could force the QB into a WR position. I was (obviously mistakenly) thinking that if I forced him into TE2 when there was no te on the field it would just bench him for that play...

Maybe you could put him in wr5 spot, but then you could only run from the 5wr set.

that game that was all I wanted to run it out of. The defense was leaving the middle of the field wide open. Wanted 5wr shotgun, qb draw every first and 10. should have been good for 5-7 yards every time if I would have gotten it right...but alas, shoulda woulda coulda

please show if it works

I will. Might be a while before I run it gametime. We are competing for seeding, so I can't really experiment in our regular season games, but have asked our owner to get me a couple scrimmage games so I can see if I can get the setting fine tuned..

I have a open spot for scrimmage... Let me talk to the OC and get his thoughts on it... But I would like to test some things as well, could work out for both of us.
