Sir, first of all, i strongly believe that playing online is OPTIONAL! Saying that, if im paying for a video game that cost darn near $70, then i want as many options as possible, the more the better imo. Its real easy, im gonna welcome all additions, as far as custom playbooks, im sure i wont need it for offense but boy o' boy, defense defense defense! Im just salivating at the possibilities
P.s. thanks in advance for your hard work on the rosters!

If you go to 2:50 you can basically see what the menu's and features of custom playbooks will look like.

Nice find dan_457!! Also, it appears you can edit coaches! Look at the far right of the same menu bar that has the custom playbooks.

I wonder what that entails. Nice!

I don't care if it ruins online play because I don't venture into facing randoms.

I only play a handful of people

I can't wait to create my playbook!!!

Also there is a teambuilder roster share... wonder if this is different than what we can already do with TB. Maybe adding single teams to a complete roster? (ie faster naming of roster)

Also you will be able to assign a custom pb to a cpu team.

If EA listened to customers as much as you think than one would figure they would fix issues that has haunted the franchise since the next gen consoles came out.

that would be the case if they allowed create-a-play. don't see that being a factor too much if you are just swapping different formations from pre-existing playbooks. folks that want to put in the practice time to take advantage of whatever inherent weaknesses of the game design wasn't going to stop or slow down whether custom playbooks are in or not.

Custom playbooks isn't create a formation guys.... How can custom playbooks equate to online cheesing when all of the plays are set in the game already? The user cannot create there own formation...

Nothing is ever going to stop online cheesing.

custom playbooks or not.
