Your favorite Alternate offensive playbook?
I'm liking West Coast for now - I don't heavy run but plan to give Run n Gun a go soon.
Run n Gun is my favorite alternative PB. Next after that would be the Run Balanced.
I've been using the Power Run PB the last couple weeks and am loving it more than all the other PB's I've tried this year. I dont think many use it which I like and it has a bunch of great formations that are unique to this PB only. I try to stay away from the meta and use something that my competitors may not be used to seeing.
Run Balanced is also a good Alternate offense PB.
Run and gun or pistol are both excellent. RNG has a lesser learning curve and is easier for most players to pick up.
If you are well above average skill wise, run and shoot is excellent but not recommended for 90% of the community.
Why not recommended on the RNS? I was just looking at that PB and thinking about trying it out (I'm not good, only been playing a couple years and I'm getting worse I think). The PB had limited formations which I thought might be easier to use. You may be saving me from a beating (nah...I'll take a beating anyway I'm sure).
One plus about the next gen is there is a favorites tab. You can toggle them on/off. I go to practice mode and set my favorites there. The thing I like is you can group them because it puts them in the order you toggle. So when I go up and down my running plays are together, I have play action plays together, etc. One thing to keep in mind is the last plays you toggle on will be your first plays you will see on the screen. The only thing I don’t like is it doesn’t save packages you set or even the default ones like Heisman in the Ravens and QB Blast in the Saints.
49ers playbook has a ton of good run formations
That one speed dig route out of Bunch Offset in cinci is pretty good. I really like the Texans pb with trips te offset and split close.

Run N Gun is fun until I play someone that knows how to stop wildcat and I am stuck using Gun Doubles and Gun Tight Flex the whole game.
If this happens do not overlook the single back ace formation. Some killer pass plays in it
Also, pistol weak flex has a deadly pass play if you absolutely need the yards or a gut punch when you have them in the ropes with wildcat
Another formation really good is the gun split . Great passing options
Which Pass Play? PA Power Opt Pass?
In the pistol weak I flex it’s smash y corner. The FB route is practically uncoverable unless usered .
Put a great TE at the FB spot . Put a great pass catching RB in as a decoy . Motion the RB to the FB/TE side and put him on a slant . The AI or even user fly to the slant leaving the TE running wide open coming back across the middle. I have used this play for two years as a secret weapon. I have never seen anyone else ever use it. In the red one about 13 yards out it can be lethal if you need a TD .
In single back ace the pA waggle pass is deadly. The out and up route is often a one play TD . If not open playmaker the TE and he streaks in behind the out and up for big yards .
Sorry had forgotten question, thanks much for sharing these plays - will have to try!
I use Saints, Packers, Chargers and Pats...
Run and Gun
Used to run pistol for 2 years but switched to run and Gun 2 years ago and love it. If you like variety of plays and variety of personnel this boom is a monster
I’ve been running the Bengals for a while now but looking to switch it up to more of a running playbook. Any suggestions? I’m eyeing the run-n-gun pretty hard
