0.4.6 Offensive Plays to Avoid

By jackals

I've generated a list of 50 offensive plays to avoid. Simply put, they are the worst plays and you will seldom have success with them, regardless of who the 11 men you field are.

I generated this list in order to increase the skill floor of owners in this game. While it will take a lot more effort to become a contender across leagues, this is a good starting place for anyone who is struggling to put up winning records. Check through your playbooks and remove any of the plays you see here.

    In 4.6 I avoid all long passes and I never use goal line plays.

    No toss plays either, too many -6 yard runs.

    There are a couple good toss plays and FB Dive (goalline) is one of the most consistent plays in the game. Long passes are absolutely terrible though.

    The right personnel in the game with good matchups also helps with a plays success.

    Well, feces. That's my entire playbook. :P *snortle* Good info! Thx for the contribution of your time and willingness to assist the community.
    Tosses and curls have been **** ever since i joined mid 4.3.
    I hope folks take this info, play with it a bit, and always remember to get rid of the stinky plays every 3 or 4 weeks.
    :)
