I think I am going to go a different route and see how it goes. My custom playbook has been pretty random. I find the plays I am comfortable with. Some runs that seem to work, some short passes that seem to work, some bomb passes that do the job. This format doesn't leave much for me to audible especially from run to pass. So, I found some run plays I like, found the formations they are in, and found other passing plays in the same formation. Hope it goes well. Any advice is appreciated.

I'm still having the issue of adding 335 formations even though they are in my playbook they do not show up I ha e the newest update and created new playbook still no change

[iceman43]

Still having issues with formations not showing with all updates loaded and new playbook problems are not fixed

Hey iceman43. Are you trying to access it during "Play Now" or "Dynasty"? I thought I read somewhere that some of these 335 formations only show up in Dynasty. If you are in Dynasty, I am not sure what the problem could be there.

It is in dynasty they don't show up and it doesn't even add to the other formations

I was able to download it. I might ease these into my current PB while I reddit some blocking beasts.

Do you have a favorite 4-5 formations if you had to choose?

Pistol train
The power option out of this is the best play in the entire game. Just flip the sides based on where the defense is at. Not a ton of plays here. but that play alone makes this formation a must have. The stretch plays is my #2 one here then the power runs

Power I strong
The power I works a little better then Maryland I. The pass plays here are weak so I it's a short yardage only type of formation. The toss out of this is a key play with a back that can get to the edge. The best thing to do here is change the play from dive to toss when in the redzone based on the defense.

Wildcat Unbalanced
The most fun formation in the game that nobody talks about. The good thing you quick line up a bunch of different people at QB. I like using the Blast near the goalline and the power and counter if they are in man since its a unbalanced formation. I like using a backup QB here so the passing plays aren't useless.

Flexbone Close
The normal is good as well, but I'm picking this one because the pass plays are better. You have your simple FB dives and WB dive which if they aren't loading the box are usually at least 2 yards. The rocket toss the best play in the flexbone if you are ok with the QB getting credit for the yards. Load option is easier/ safier then the triple. The fake FB toss pass you rarely get sacked on and this has 2 of those. The "All Go" is basically 4 verts . The best passing play out of the flexbone is slant out trails so sub in a receiving back before calling this. This is two texas routes from the HB's.

Goaline Heavy
I wanted to highlight this one has its hidden as most don't scroll over when looking at goaline formations. Think of this along the lines of a wildcat with 2 FB's lined up in front of the QB. The QB blast and the #1 play to get your QB TD's even if he isn't a burner. Sweep can be good, but they can stop that one at times so need some speed at QB for this one. The jet option is really powerful and it gets your WR some carries. You will want to formation sub speed to your WR. The Z screen is usually open which puts the WR in motion then throws back.
