So if I export and then import a PB, will it convert all the Flexbone to Wishbone or that happens at game time?

Still confused because my friendly game has rows in the Formation breakdown for both Flexbone and Wishbone.

So for my defense, do I need to have lines for both Flexbone and Wishbone still??

Thanks for the clarification...

Okay...cool.

I think getting rid of the Flexbone is a good idea - - I don't think anyone really uses it in modern football (at least at the college & professional level here in the states). Was kind of surprised when it was added.

Off the top of my head Army, Navy, Georgia Tech, and Wofford currently run the Flexbone. The amount of teams that run it isn't as important as the fact that people don't understand what the offense is. Its origins are the Wishbone and the Run N' Shoot. It's for these reasons I offered my support to this suggestion: QB rushing % dropdown. Having the formation function like the Wishbone is fine for the moment, but I really would like to see it remain in the game and enhanced to its full abilities. As I mentioned previously, I use it about as much as every other formation with the exception of SG2 & SG4. Given what I know about the system, that usage was going to go up.

Not familiar with Wofford. Those other three are fine institutions that are basically running the Flexbone/Triple Option as a gimmick offense because they don't have the personnel to match up man-for-man with the power-5 schools.

Sad to see it go away. Combined w/ wishbone it was a staple for me. Taylored my roster to those, kinda anti-spread. Only needed 3 good WRs etc.
Was a good passing offense too.
