If you solely take plays from another team you dont have your own team!

Just scrimmage it out and find plays that interest you in a smart manner.

if you overuse plays it will get picked up on.

the overall best thing to do is to make sure your team is following you playbook mindset so tht many plays can work for you

this is GLB2, not the NFL. There's a very limited selection of plays that actually work against decent teams.

Using plays that have been proven to work are a great way to help a new coordinator adjust to the game, once they got a feel for the game i encourage they make their own as it is the best but personally if i hadn't based my earliest defense off of Salty i wouldn't be where I am now. After a season or two I understood how play calling and tactics worked and built my own.

You can wish this to be true (as do I) but it's not.

Look at my LogZilla Boys. I ran the same playbook for the first 45 games and then a different playbook for the past 30+ games (slightly altered here and there).

You either have the Defense to stop me or you don't. People know the plays that are coming and all of my builds are open.

I absolutely overuse plays and it has lead to success not failure.

This is much more true for passing teams but for running teams if you run inside out of the I and outside on trips all the time most quality DCs can shut you down. You have to switch it up. They're aren't enough plays to have a constant rushing PB that is ftmp unstoppable. If I could use OT runs on my inside rushing playbook that would help a lot. But still, without scouting, passing is much easier to get the first down all the time IMO.

100% agree with this, most of the top teams do things for good reasons, they have spreadsheets or use Stobie's scout tool to figure out which plays are performing the best and weed out everything else. Some people have more fun figuring things out for themselves which is fine, but in a competitive game like GLB you'll be way behind if you aren't watching what everyone else is doing.

Kayoh and Xars are right too, there are a very limited number of plays that are viable in GLB2 currently. Even though everyone knows what's coming for the most part, the best plays still stick out like a sore thumb when you start looking at the numbers.

Well that's true, which is why you should be running inside and outside out of each formation.

The problem with human beings is that we have tendencies. The sim allows you to counteract yourself by building a % matrix. You don't have to switch it up all the time if you just build a rushing O that is balanced out of each formation.
