Living Guide

This is a day one scheme. EA will patch, the meta will shift, and MrFootball88 updates this guide when it does. Every update is free for life.

Update history

July 9, 2026Launch. Nine passing macros, the Pistol Trips run and RPO game, a red zone plan, and a build-once Loadout for every play.

Learn This First

The Macro System (build this first)

This whole scheme runs on macros: saved presets you build once and tap all game. Learn how they work and every play gets easy.

Each play is a macro. A base play plus a few hot routes and stems, saved as a preset. Build all eight in the Loadout before you queue up.
Every macro is tagged Man, Zone, or Everything. That tag is your pre-snap read: call Man beaters when you read man, Zone beaters when you read zone, and Everything beaters when you are not sure.
The stems matter. Where a step says stem down to the max or stem up one, that adjustment is what makes the concept beat the coverage. Do not skip them.
Run and pass share a formation. You shift the same Bunch into Pistol Trips to run, so the defense cannot tell run from pass before the snap.

FAQ

What playbook and formation is this?

The Washington State playbook, based out of Gun Bunch X Nasty. You shift the same Bunch into Pistol Trips and Pistol U Off Trips to run, and drop into Singleback Deuce Close in the red zone. One home formation to learn, and everything else is a shift or a macro off of it.

What are macros?

Saved presets. CFB 27 lets you build a play's hot routes and stems once and save them, so instead of hot routing five men every snap you tap one button. This whole scheme is built that way. The Loadout section has all eight written out step by step.

Do I get access right away?

Yes. Checkout takes about a minute and the full guide unlocks instantly. Lifetime access, and updates after EA patches are free.

I am new to competitive CFB. Is this for me?

Yes. The macros video builds the whole scheme with you, every card lists the exact routes, and the beater tag on each play tells you when to call it.

Why this scheme?

One formation, one set of macros, and answers for man, zone, and everything in between, plus a matching run game out of the same look. You learn a little and it covers a lot.
