Beast Formation Strategy Guide

The Beast formation is a short-yardage power formation that also incorporates deception with counter and reverse plays. It uses a tight line formation with split gaps between linemen and multiple backs lined up two feet behind the line. The formation is designed to control the clock and keep opponents' offense off the field. It can be run for a 44 Blast, 45 Counter, or 45 Reverse play depending on blocking rules assigned to each player.
