I think your workaround right now is to have your default be Air Force or Wyoming since my custom playbook appears after the generic ones, so this would save the most time as long as you remember to cycle to it every game.

I didn’t look at D, yet, but I spent 10 min tonight looking at all of the formations and their variations. Gun has 189! Hopefully this helps someone:

Maryland I - 1
Goal Line - 2
Flexbone - 7
Pistol - 45
Wishbone - 1
Power I - 2
I Form - 6
Shotgun - 189
Singleback - 41
Weak I - 2
Splitbacks - 2
Split T - 1
Wildcat - 5
Full house - 1
Strong I - 5

FYI, I had an issue where head to head games would desync and kick us out right before opening kickoff when we both had custom playbooks. Weirdly, it’s fine when only 1 person is using a custom PB.

McVay and Shannahan are probably the two most under center oriented coaches in all of football. Unfortunately it’s impossible to replicate their offensive styles because EA still doesn’t understand how bootlegs work.

One of my favorite things to do is add all the power run formations into a playbook. I just wish there was a way to set formation subs so I don’t have to manually put offensive linemen in the backfield every game. I guess it goes hand in hand with not being able to set a custom playbook as default.

To have your custom playbook as your default in dynasty, set it as your default in your profile. On the coach info, I just used the playbook I based my custom one off of.

This works? Thanks!

Will be doing this once I make my playbook and once they fix dynasty so I can officially start and stop doing test dynasties.

No problem. Also found that Colorado State is a good playbook to start a custom one from.
