The RB is always over the FB, only the direction of the play can override this

So its only based on direction (sort of like that other game), but also effected by formation.

For Shotgun formations, there is only a FB, so the FB would always get it.

For I formations, the FB and RB are both in the center, so regardless of direction, the RB would get the ball?

For wishbone and pro-set, the RB is right and the FB is left? Any thus the RB would get the ball to the right or up the middle and the FB would get it on the left?

Basically yes, for the moment. We were discussing about giving the FB a more important role. All discussions ended up in not knowing how to balance game fun and newbee know how.

Is the FB involved in pro-set plays at all? According to the manual pro-set makes use of 2 RBs.

Good point, pro-set and wishbone is using two HBs and no FBs (one FB for Wishbone).

Wishbone is with FBc, HBl, HBr and Proset with Hbl and Hbr.

So Wishbone has only a benefit for the passing game, because the FB blocks not in rushplays.
