Flea Flicker

Post by Deft »

Need to add Handoff to QB as an option. Otherwise, no flea flickers. OK, maybe this isn't top of the list but I thought it should be noted.

I was thinking the same thing. If you really wanted to do it you would have to designate another HB or FB to make the pass. Guess you can make a crazy formation where the backup QB is the FB so he throws it.

With only the hand off options available you also cannot do a reverse or end-around.

One play I was trying to develop was a handoff to the H-back when I discovered you could not hand the ball to anyone but the HB or FB.[:(]

I dont think flea flicker is essential but reverses it doesnt have[:@], whats wrong with this game? theres so many problems i think they should have MaxFB 2 because the game needs a lot of work (from what i see)

Only solution for a reverse is to make a special formation with the HB or FB lined up as a WR and then adjust the depth chart to have that HB or FB for the special formation be a WR. It will work, just not sure how the CPU will handle a HB or FB lined up outside to start the play.

Also you don't want the defense keying on the HB if the HB is a wide receiver. No surprise that way.
