NCAA Football 2004 Playbooks

About

Playbooks and plays in NCAA Football 2004 are similar to NCAA Football 06. They are simplified in that any team with the same formation will have the exact 18 plays within that set. This means that you can click on any of the formation links below and know that if one team has (for example) Ace Normal, they will have the same 18 plays from that set just like the rest of teams who also have Ace Normal. However, 13 formations in the game have two versions. One is more option run oriented, the other has more basic pro style runs. So going forward, you will see (for example) “Ace Normal – Pro” and “Ace Normal – Option” throughout the rest of the playbook info below.

This game doesn’t recognize playbook styles so I organized them myself: Pro Style, West Coast, Option, Spread, and Multiple. Some may bleed into one category or another, but I did my best.

Lastly, you can’t create your own playbooks in 2004, you must choose a team or alternate playbook, so knowing which formations have certain plays is vital.
