Custom Playbook Problem

[mike06]

I have created a few custom playbooks over the few months that ive had this game and just yesterday i noticed something. You can not put plays into the DIME and NICKEL formations. In my book it only lets me use the plays that I have in my 4-3 formation but uses the players from the chosen package. I dont know if im making any sense but heres an example. If i go to my custom playbook and add only these 6 plays to my book
4-3: 4 cloud, 2 man, 2 hard
Nickel: Weak crash, combo strong zone
DIme: Weak fire zone blits
If i added these 6 plays ONLY to my book, when i go into a game all i have is the plays from my 4-3 formation (4 cloud, 2 man, 2 hard) but transferred into the Nickel and Dime formations.

ANY ONE ELSE NOTICE THIS OR FIND A WAY TO GET THE PLAYBOOK TO WORK PROPERLY?
LBZRULEZ, DO YOU KNOW ANYTIHNG ABOUT THIS?

I have made a few coustom books and have not had this problem at all...my only thought is that you need to make sure that you add a few 'line plays' (the ones that determine how the front four will rush or stunt etc.) or the rest of the plays wont be able to be called in a game...

You can add formations you just can't subtract them entirely...

You also need to make sure that your allotment of formations haven't been used up before you add the D plays...

Hard to say much more based on your post...

Good luck...

I have done everytihng right. I have 8 line plays per formation and have about 20-25 different coverages in each formation. PLease if you could check your playbook and see if you notice it. I NEVER noticed it at all until a few days ago when i put in a few new sweet zone blitzes but i couldnt find them in my book once i got in a game.

That's a weird one...haven't seen that yet...

I figured it out...it is a flaw in the game and the only way the defensive side of the playbook works properly is to edit a team book instead of starting from scratch
