Different style of teams. Offense edition

In this game there are so many different legends that there are many types of teams you can build. I will explain the offensive styles of play in this hint. Offense:

Running teams:

There are 3 different styles of running teams; finnesse, power and duo back. A finnesse running team will focus on pitches, tosses, sweeps, and zone runs. The half back should be fast and getting by defenders will depend on jukes and spins. The back will not be able to go through defenders but will dance around them. Your back will tire the defense by making them chase him around the field. The best backs for this style are: O.J. Simpson(gold), Roger Craig(silver), and Dave Meggett(bronze)

A power running team will focus on dives, power, and iso plays. The back will go through defenders and will be slower thn the finnesse backs but much stronger. With power backs you will shoulder charge, stiff arm or power out of tackles. You will run up the middle on most of the plays and wear out the defense through long lasting drives and putting a hurt on their bodies by charging through them. This is my favorite style as I like to nail defenders with a should charge and knock them back a couple yards. The best backs for this style are: Earl Campbell(gold), Ottis Anderson(Silver), and Christian Okoye(bronze)

A duo back team is a team that runs with 2 halfbacks that are both skilled enoug to play at the top level. They usually get equal carries and are meant to keep the defense on their toes. One power back and one finnesse back is the usual combo and the best way to keep the defenders on edge. You can wear them down by runs throuh the middle for a couple of plays and than take your finnesse HB and speed by the tired defense usually for a big gain. Passing teams:

There are two stlyes of passing teams; possession and deep.

A possession passing team focuses on short routes and will utilize the tight end more. The routes ran are usually 5 yard ins/outs, short slants, and curls. This offense is meant to put the ball up a few yards each play so that the defense gets worn out by quick plays right after another. Accurate QB's and recievers with good hands are very important as one missed play puts the short yardage passing team in a pickle. A deep passing team focuses on long, deep routes that go over 20 yards. The usual routes are posts, streaks, and corners. This offense moves the ball up field quickly and wears down the defensive seconday by making them chase the recievers for extended amounts of time. A QB with a strong arm and fast recievers are needed so that the defensive backs can be out ran.

Trick plays:

While this should never be the focal point of an offense it is always fun to throw a trick play into a game. A flea flicker or an HB pass can throw a defense completely off. The HB pass is very hard as your back will have to be able to throw or prepared to be hit. This play has the QB tossing the Hb the ball on what looks like a running play but insteads throws the ball to a reciever. The flea flicker has the QB handing the ball off for what looks like to be a run up the middle but tossing the ball back to the QB and the QB throwing the ball down field.
