    Re: EA CFB 25 Custom Playbook Thread

    Why are these formations 1st on my formation list after creating an Offensive Playbook?

    Is there any way to fix this?

      As of yet, there’s no way to fix this. Hopefully the next patch will do something about it.

        I know some of you did this in previous versions. You start a dynasty with a lower tier school and only allow yourself, say, 10-15 offensive plays. Then, the next season, you bring in maybe 5 more plays, and keep building the playbook up that way.

        Anyone doing that in their dynasty with CFB 25?

          I'm going to do somthing like this when I'm going to start my dynasty next week. I'm starting as an OC at ULM with a playbook that will be build using this tool:

          Hi Guys, I've got a tool I wanted to share with you all that I used for NCAA 14 and now use for CFB 25. First, please give credit to the OS user Philosopher0. He originally posted a Madden playbook tool in the Madden forums last year. I had already had my own tool I used for NCAA 14 at the time, but I was lacking a concept

            That sounds like something I would do but the issue is you would find yourself running the same plays over and over. I could see this being interesting for Slow Super Sim dynasties because you could control what plays they run by what plays you have in the tiny playbook. I think I am going to test this out with a dynasty and see what happens.
            Won't change my sig until the Seattle Seahawks win the Super Bowl...wait, that happened ! Let's win another one! Go Hawks!!

              FYI, that's not true.

              Every formation is available for every playbook.

              What you are noticing is an easter egg, where the generic Air Raid playbook shows the formation and play names as they are referred to in the Air Raid system. However, this is merely a cosmetic easter egg during games where you play as a team with that playbook.

              Every formation and play in that playbook is available, but with their "non-easter egg" names.

              For example, "Ace" = "Spread Flex" and "6" = "Four Verticals" etc.

                I've been running a kind-of silly custom book as OC at UMass that I've been calling the Splitbone. The base package is flexbone, but I also added some multi-back pistol and shotgun sets that give the book a little more passing oomph. Only thing is, we're never sending the QB out there with one back - always split, full house, etc.

                Honestly, it's been a ton of fun and you can get creative with no-huddle with the right personnel groupings - start a drive running inside veer out of the flexbone, then no huddle to a set with QB in shotgun and your back in the slot to take advantage of the three backers on defense.

                Really more of a gimmick than a real philosophy, but I have had a ton of fun feeding three or four different running backs with different skillsets. You can have a power guy as your dive back, elusive/receiving on the wings, and they all have plays that'll use their skills well. Fun to zig when every team is zagging.

                  So my question is how do you guys go about deciding which plays for which situation and how do you rank them with stars so they get called and you don't have a messed up janky gameplay like I currently have with my Dynasty.
                  I've been trying to figure out how custom playbook gameplans and coach suggestions work as well. I know the coach suggestion screen will give you 15 play options. I can't figure out though how to make those 15 plays what I want. No matter what I've done so far with the gameplans and star ratings within my custom playbook the coach suggestions does not include all of the 15 plays I want, and some plays will show up multiple times.

                    I’ve finally had some luck with it. It takes time, but I went through every play in my book and rated them a half star on 2-3 different scenarios, and they will all pop up at some point in the coaches screen. I didn’t want certain plays to pop up more than others, which is why I only did a half star.

                      The Coach Suggestions screen will show you 15 plays to choose from. How many plays do you have rated for each situation?
                      I've tried rating only 15 plays and given them all a 5-star rating. The coach suggestion screen will give me 10-12 of those plays with a few shown more than once. Maybe I'll go back and try it with all 15 rated 1/2-star.
                      What happens if you have more than 15 plays rated for a situation? If you have 20 plays rated all the same how does the game decided which 15 plays you are shown on the suggestions screen?
                      I just wish I understood how to use this feature better.

                        Re: EA CFB 25 Custom Playbook Thread

                        I am just curious about a couple of RB plays and would like for anyone to weigh in on this. There were RB plays in previous NCAA games that were really good or overpowered: HB Counter is one example. HB Direct in NCAA 06 is another.

                        Now, in CFB 25, at one point, I felt that no play really felt overpowered except maybe Jet Sweeps, but I don't run this.

                        I really like the HB Toss (I know there are a few of them) and HB Stretch (yes, a few of them too). I have a great RB and a pretty good offensive line especially on the right side. I move the TE over to the side that my RB is running to for extra blocking. My RB is getting a ton of yards each game, but we are playing a lot of Mountain West teams. Could be a different story against, say Texas or Bama. I am not complaining about this success at all. I am using Armor & Sword's Average Joe Varsity sliders.

                        Any chance these two RB plays are overpowered? Any of you had that thought?

                          I wish I knew how it decided what pops up, but everything will pop up eventually as long as you have every play rated for at least some situation.

                          I have a disgusting amount of 1st and 10 plays and they all eventually make their way to the play call screen.

                            What is this rating plays you speak of? I have made an incredible playbook with multiple formations but suggestions calls the same 6 or 7 plays the entire game unless I change it. I don’t want to change it I’d like the suggestions to be my guide.

                                I think its called gameplan? When you're in your book you can also press square and rate the plays that way. That's how I did it.
