Default MAY EACH TEAM BE DIFFERENT

SOL-COACHES.

Life would be boring if everthing was the same. Same thing applies here in electric football. In the game of solitaire, YOU MUST GIVE EACH TEAM IT'S OWN IDENTITY. This way you will always feel your playing a new opponent.

Meaning- Have a set of core offensive plays for each team that no other team in your league will use. There are plenty of playbooks online, in the bookstore, everywhere. Maybe 10 running plays and 10 passing routes for the receivers to run. If 1 team has a bubble screen, have a different type of screen for the other teams It will always feel different and new if you set it up that way. layout all of your teams ans create a playbook for each team.

My classic teams of my solitare league, I call plays and formations that those teams actually ran. For example, my 71 Nebraska team has a better defense and runs a pro style offense, but my 71 oklahoma has a better offense with better offensive linemen, and runs the wishbone.

Default Andre, very interesting question

I will have 32 teams with up to 100 plays to choose from. What will happen is at the beginning of the game, each team will choose from the 100 plays and the defense has 6 schemes. Basically, the offensive team will have 30-50 plays with about 10 of those plays exotics, wildcats, and sneaks.

Defenses will be given 2-3 different basic schemes, whether it is the 4-3, 3-4, 5-2, etc. They will also be given the option to use exotic schemes as well from time-to-time such as stacking blitzes, 46, etc.

Each team will definitely have its different personailities based on weight distribution, offensive and defensive plays allotted, and whether to use the physical QB or use "The Andre Rule". If a team use the "Andre Rule in one game, he can not use it in his next game". Therefore, each team will use the physical QB 8 times and "The Andre Rule" 8 times.

It should be interesting!

Default Random Base Choices

I make my teams different by building each team using a random selection of bases. I will take a handful of untested bases to build each team. I currently have 20 teams playing so far. Among those teams, I make trades or test other unknown bases to help those teams that may have severe weaknesses.

Default FIND 400 TO 500 DIFFERENT PLAY

SOL-CO


What im getting at is a play draft. MAKE SURE EACH AND EVERY PLAY IN THE DRAFT IS DIFFERENT. You can figure out your own draft scenario's. The just go down the line selecting plays for each team (offense). until each team has 20 to 25 plays for that team. Go on amazon and get the 101 series of book. i have a book called 101 bear stunts. These are exotic stunts/blitzes. 101 different ones. Take that book and have a draft of defensive schemes for each side. WHEN YOU SHAKE THE DICE AND A PATICULAR STUNT COMES UP, YOU MUST RUN THAT STUNT ON DEFENSE.

I have another book called 101 drop back pass plays. of course this is for the offensive pass game. There are books with a zillion running plays. You see, mix it all up and have your play draft. When you play your games, no matter when you shake the dice to call a play, it going to be different due to the play draft. You will even forget most of the plays but that will make it exciting. It will be even NEW FOR YOU .


So you will have that pass play called up with a defensive stunt called up. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN AND THE OUTCOME.
Each and every team should be loaded with different exotic plays from the draft. Instead drafting star players, your drafting your playbook. Then you an get cute and head on over to madden for an onslought of plays. keep drafting over and over until all teams have a binder book full of plays. THE BUILDING OF A SYSTEM !

With all of this said, when you do play. it will feel like your always playing someone else. IT WOULD BE BORING IF YOU HAD 20 PLAYS AND EVERY TEAM RAN THAT PLAY. You will just be playing to see who runs that play better.

No No, MAKE THAT PHILADELPHIA EAGLE PLAYBOOK, MAKE THAT DALLAS COWBOY PLAYBOOK, ETC ETC, You have multiple sources to find plays and divide them up in a drsft. YOU WANT TO ENTER EAcH AND EVERY GAME NOT KNOWING WHAT THE HECK IS GOING TO BE CALLED. It is you playing against yourself and your even in the dark the whole game. YOU WOULD HAVE TO REVIEW EACH TEAMS PLAYBOOK SO YOU HAVE SOME UNDERSTANDING OF WHATS GOING TO BE RAN RIGHT BEFORE YOU PLAY. Doesn't that keep you on the edge. The key to succeeding in solitaire is creating the unknown for yourself. I DONT WANT TO ENTER A GAME KNOWING THESE TWO TEAMS ARE GOING TO RUN THESE PATICULAR PLAYS. I WANT TO BE SUPRISED.

In madden, your playing against the computer if playing by yourself. here in electric football, your playing against an extensive playbook where the dice are the offensive and defensive coordinators. Your a player on the field trying to run a play and stop a play. BUT YOU CANT DO THAT UNTIL THEY ARE CALLED UP AND MATCH THAT OFFENSIVE PLAY AGAINST THAT DEFENSIVE STUNT.

Default playbooks

If you want to see the real playbooks of teams at all levels, go to FASTANDFURIOUSFOOTBALL.COM. They even have the 1985 49ers playbook, the best that I have seen on the west coast offense.
