PRIMA Offi cial Game Guide

Calling the right plays in the right

situations is arguably the most
important skill to master in NCAA
Football 08. A horrible player who’s
great at selecting plays will often do
better against the computer than an
excellent player who’s horrible at
play calling—that’s how vital this part
of the game is to ensuring success.

This section breaks down the of-

fensive and defensive playbooks so
that you can fi nd plays that best suit
your playing style.

WHAT’S NEW

NCAA Football 08 has made a few

changes to its playbooks relative to
previous versions.

Each playbook still has 12 user-

editable formation slots; however, in
the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions,
all the Hail Mary plays are incorpo-
rated into various shotgun playbooks
rather than as a separate formation.
(The Hail Mary remains a separate
formation set in the Xbox 360 and
PlayStation 3 versions.)

Several formations have expanded

the number of formation sets; other
sets (such as Full House and Power
T) are no longer offered as separate
formation sets to choose from.

On the following pages are lists

of the most common formations
in the game. After each formation
is a number in parentheses, which
represents the number of Division I
FBS team playbooks that contain that
formation set. That number is a good
indication of how common or rare a
specifi c formation might be.

ACE

Ace formations feature a single

running back (often the halfback)
behind the quarterback and four pass
catchers (either wide receivers and/
or tight ends). Ace formations are
usually biased toward the passing
game—but with a talented halfback
and solid blocking from the tight end,
you can run out of it as well.

Team playbooks that rely heavily

on ace formation sets include Idaho
and Northern Illinois.
