Some of the offensive formations described in the first post do not match up to GLB plays. I don't know if Bort will change, but as I understand it, he didn't make new plays but just gives us the opportunity to select and modify the existing ones. Therefor should be a matchup to each setting and a formation already existing in GLB.
Now here is how I would matchup to GLB formations (please correct if wrong):
I (any variation)In GLB, this seems to be the "regular" I-formation (2 WR, 1 TE strongside = right). I think, this is a play instead of a setting "offense shows any variation of I-formation"

strong side. As GLB lines up a third CB always on the
weak side, that leaves the strongside CB covering 2 WRs:

GLB has only one play when 2 WRs line up strong side. On every other set, the third WR lines up weak side (left).
In fact, the only way to defend that play properly is to set up a dime defense (4 CBs) - for the third CB lines up weak side and you'll need another CB on strong side.
Single BackGLB has no TE in the slot, but a WR. So it is the "normal" 3 WR set in GLB.

Single Back BIGIf you see 2 TEs, it's a Single Back Big:

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll4/scarletmbb/ProSetFormation.pnghttp://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=6877825ShotgunThese plays are tricky in GLB. So you better describe them in the "input" by shotgun formation AND number of WRs.
3 WRs - Gun Doubles left

5 WR - Gun Trips Open
