    Gotta be missing a step, I'm on ps4 and have used custom PBs since week 15 with no problems. I'm not creating a coach/player.

    Are you backing out of the start game screen once you've got your team and cpu team set up? Them going backing in and starting game? What you set up initially before backing out saves. I had a problem with this until I did that

      I did that but it didnt work. And youre making the custom playbooks (not the customs created from madden, ex. run n gun, etc.) it work without creating a player or coach?

        1) When I adjusted to a custom PB for the Bills after becoming a 3rd string QB, I moved the controller back to the middle to let the CPU take over the game and it crashed.

        2) So then I just tried leaving the controller in the same place after adjusting to the CPU playbook and it doesnt freeze, but instead tells me "Ready, Please wait" and never starts the game

        Im going to have to PM swagger Coach to find out what I'm doing wrong

        Edit: I also tried backing out to the main menu and going back to the team selct screen to start up but it didn't work...so frustrating smh
        The way it worked for me is once you have selected the 3rd player, go to the team you want to play as. Once you start the game, treat it like you are playing some one else and check to make sure your playbooks are correct, backout and select ready. Do this for both controllers and it should start. I also created a second profile for the 2nd controller so make sure you do that as well.

            On the game screen goto the cpu advanced settings and set the playbook. Then back out of the game screen completely back to franchise screen. Re-enter the game screen and this time DO NOT goto advanced settings for either team (the cpu playbook will still stick.) Then start the game and it should work. For some reason, going into the advanced settings on the game screen crashes the game...no idea why.

            I found this method on another thread here I believe it was Dskins. Credit goes to him. Thanks so much!
            Omg I finally understand, I'm sorry. The game screen actually getting ready to play. Set. Back out. Go back in don't touch cpu. Play. Ok, now do we still have to retire coach, be a 3rd string qb etc?

              Is this only for custom playbooks? Can't do generic? Which is fine either way. I just thought generic eould be easier to set up

                for the like of me I can't get the 2nd controller to work so if I use the playbooks for my player controled team and then use generic playbooks like run n shoot, etc etc will the play call be better?

                  I don't need to go through all these hoops to make it work. You simply select a coach and activate the other controller. No need for a profile. Then when done with that game, retire coach (coach doesn't retire) and select another coach for the next game you want to play. I am able to play as both teams offense.

                    Re: Madden 17 Everything Playbooks (custom) for the CPU or user

                    I'm tryna setup a custom playbook for my online cfm team. I use a regular stock packers pb to start from, i remove some formations and add few, do my audibles then save it. Everytime i go to my cfm and practice with it i have missing formations. Any advice? Is there a max amount of formations you can have in a pb before it glitches like this? Making a custom is so time consuming and i hate finally finishing it then a glitch occurs. PLZ HELP

                      AFAIK there are bugs with certain formations where plays don't carry over into games, esp. related to shotgun spread, pistol spread, and some others. Its a real shame as I the gun spread plays imho are the best in Madden, I just love the formation.

                        I used to have a problem with Shotgun Spread plays glitching until i used the run&shoot pb to start with and didn't have that problem. Im guessing i have to pick my poison now smh

                          The only question I have is whether playbooks stick without the 2nd profile. On Madden 16 sometimes default playbooks would load when set to customized playbooks.

                            Hello all,

                            I'm waiting on the game to arrive tomorrow. I have read this entire thread, but I just want to lay out my desired scenario and see if it's possible.

                            All I want to be able to do is use custom playbook for my team in Franchise Mode. I don't need to use Custom Playbooks for my opponent, but would like to benefit from better CPU playcalling by using the generic books for my opponent.

                            Can I do this without creating a second profile, second controller, coach/player thing? Because all of that seems like a tad more legwork than I'd like to do, honestly. Although maybe it would be worth it, I don't know.

                              @SwaggerCoach the major question that I have is I'm playing as the Cowboys & I have their Offensive playbook, but is their a good 4-3 defensive playbook I could use for the Defense and if their is after I download the defensive playbook how do I incorporate it in to the game, because on the team selection screen you can only do Offensive play books so can you point me as to how to put the defensive plabooks in the game?

                                I am curious who is working on playbooks right now for xbox. I am looking at updating a couple teams so let me know.
