Q: does that also mean that some of the mostly style specific plays will be locked to only those specific base style playbooks? for example, Air Raid playbooks tend to have more Mesh, Shallow crosses, stick, etc. plays, while other playbooks did not have them(not as many at least) despite having the exact formation. I hope that made sense.

A: Regarding the style definition, it's been too long and been too many different versions that we've seen but if I remember correctly, you can define the playbooks "style" but I could be misremembering that.

As for specific plays, no, you're not locked to specific plays/formations based on your style. If you so wanted, you could have a Flexbone playbook with every 5WR formation added on. EA wanted to give the user complete control over their destiny regarding this feature... any limitations they wanted them to be ones you put on yourself (or your OD commissioner puts on you).

If you have any more questions the guys are awnsering them as I type this at the link I posted.

  • Can be used in Online Dynasty and ranked/unranked online games
  • Goalline and Special teams are in each playbook
  • The max number of formations will depend on the playbook
I don't understand what is meant by 15 on offense and 15 on defense?
does that mean that I can have 15 custom playbooks at a time?

and by 40 formations total?
does that mean that I can have 40 formations for offense or is that 40 formations for my offense and defense combined?

nevermind...i figured it out.
that's what i get for trying to work and read on here at the same time.

Re: If Custom Playbooks are in what's yours going to look like?

The great thing about Custom Playbooks, is that I'll be able to play to the strengths of my team. I'm not one to recruit based on a system, but rather build a system around the players. So I'm probably going to go with a different system based on the team I have. Mostly I think I'll stick to a Ace formations, and the Play Action.

I'm going to be honest...
I thought we'd only be able to choose 19 or 20 formations per book.

Well done EA!

I just got off the TGT site and all my questions were answered. Well except defensive playbooks but that will come tonight. My playbook has been ready for months now.

I'm just happy the ppl that wanted certain plays locked under certain playbook types didn't get their way.
