So a lot of people are disscussing on the boards what is their favorite play books is to go to the audible setup on the main menu and scroll through all of the teams. Certain play books will stick out more than other's. Navy's play book is all about the Wishbone and Wing T offense. So there is a lot of triple option and motion, attempting to distract the defense. Others like Florida have a formation call Heavy Gator. Which uses a lot of motion so they can do Jet Sweeps and Run the ball with the QB. Others like Nevada have a formation called Pistol which is where the QB is 3 yards away from the center. This is for Option and passing. Then you have USC who's play book is more like a NFL type play book.
No onto user catches. These need to be in your game plan all the time. Its easier to go up and do it yourself then let the CPU do it. Because a.) sometimes the CPU gets in a bad position to attempt the catch. b.) its a lot more fun to user catch and to rub it in your friends face. This is also the way to take advantage your tall wide receiver and jump up for balls. you do this by strafing at the last second in front of the yellow circle and jumping. You will get a good animation for the high jump. Beware of crushing hit sticks!!!
Only way to become better at user catches is to hit prct. mode i think i say this every time. PRCT. MODE + Playbook= ownage
