My favorite play is dagger, in the bunch y flex formation, or just go to shotgun passes. Appears in multiple playbooks including the Eagles. Has the TE lined so to the right running a drag, your inside slot receiver running a deep cross, the middle WR in the bunch running a go, and the outside guy running a very deep angled in route. The middle go route will win in zone 100% of the time. Talking like Wide open. If you’re in man the drag can be an easy 1st down pickup, or the cross can be a large gain, and if you have a lot of time and nothing happens to be open, the outside guy will win on that route. Could also always pull down and run since you’re receivers pulled the defensive backs so far away from you

You dont even need cheese plays to win, just know the concepts to beat certain coverages. Can you read the defensive coverage pre snap? If so, calling plays becomes easier. Versus Man run drags, slants or corners if you have time in the pocket. Cover 3 gets roasted by crosser and seams. Cover 4 is trickier because it depends on their drops but if you overload a side with an out, flat and streak route they dont have enough defenders on the side to defend all three. Cover 2 just work the edges of the field, crossers and corners to the area outside of the safeties and behind the Cbs is wide open, you just need good timing. But generally speaking against any zone you need to run 2 routes through 1 zone. The first reciever will be covered by the defense, which will clear the zone for the next reciever to be wide open. Instead of youtubing cheese plays, look up reading coverages on youtube. Very helpful and then you can create your own cheese plays out of whatever playbook you want.

Thx. I run the dagger play a lot out of gun y-flex i think is the play where the TE is on a crosser and a WR is on a streak with another doin something else. it usually always works with either the TE being open or the WR torching the coverage

A lot of people like to lab their plays in practice. I find it easier just to play seasons and not worry about wins and loses. If would much rather try stuff against another player than the CPU because the user adds another level of difficulty. Its possible to get better at the game, you just need to put in some work.

Any flood concept beats every zone coverage. for example, run bench out of gun tight with in the right hash. Streak ur outside b receiver, and put ur running back on an our route.

I run a "cheesy" offense.. I pretty much run 1-3 different plays a game, but I heavily change up the routes my WRs run each time, and get every player involved..

I stick to Gun Bunch TE, in the Alternate playbook Run Heavy/Power Run. Most plays I motion the middle WR (Y on xbox) to the opposite side, and snap as soon as they clear the TE on the right. I do switch it up throughout the game and leave them in that spot.. just depends on how their user is reacting on the field.

My run plays... HB Off Tackle and HB Draw. - ID the Mike to the left most DE/OLB, if they run a lot of man, I continue to motion my middle WR over to the opposite side. if they call zone mostly, I sometimes leave them there as an extra blocker on that side. I will still call hot routes to make almost every play pre snap look identical.

Pass Play... PA All Cross. I always put the HB on a wheel. I typically change inside WR to a zig as my quick man beater. You can typically get 5-10 yards a play on this. You can switch it up to a drag once or twice if they start targeting it. Change outside WR to a streak, slant, deep out/in. Middle WR, leave on the crosser, or put on slant. I constantly watch what defense is called to adjust things. You can watch the defense for tendencies and see where the soft spots are. Once I get RB Appetence or HRM I will put the HB on an angle route.
