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

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

This is the key to taking the game to the next level.. Biggest flaws IMO have been not being able to tell the difference between QBs besides power, inconsistent pass rush from the DL and lack of variety of play calling by CPU...

What I don't understand, why hasn't anyone at EA been informed of this and had one of their guys go through and implement it? I imagine it would be a hell a lot easier for them to know this out instead of us... Not even as detailed as Van is doing, just to the point where it encourages the team to take advantage of their playbook...

Matter of fact why wouldn't they pick your brain on how to execute it? No different then NBA 2K did with da_czar... Look at the next level that has taken that game since!!

Yes!
It is helping bring the CPU to another level!
To implement it, just takes time and data.
I'm using replays of real games to get more in detail on what teams are calling.
Also using Madden Prima Guides(really helpful info on each team) from 16 and 17 as of tomorrow.

It's a star system, so re-rating plays...
Still debating how I want the star system?
Use all 5 stars when?
Use half a star when?

-Removing like plays (4 verticals is sometimes in a teams gameplan 6 or more times w/ 5 star rating!?!)

-Adding the strategy(listed in Madden Prima guides)plays for each team.

-Sad not seeing ANY Shot-plays in my teams default gameplan but they have how many 4 verticals?

See the CPU gameplans just really need a fine tuning, I could do it faster if it was my full-time job lol.

I'm going to fix multiple issues from a cpu playcalling standpoint.
I would like to get a consensus on the star rating system and how we should be using it.

Thanks for any feedback, much appreciated.

New England Patriots offensive playbook is up on madden share under vannwolfhawk206. I also went thru all 32 teams and got rid of all play actions on 3rd and long as well as cut a lot of 4 verts from situations. I still wanted them to have a few in 3rd and 4th and long but not 12 out of 20 plays being 4 verts. So, if you guys want to use those as a base with all that already done to save you time I can upload them all. I'll just put pre book ready on those. This is xbox1 By the way...

I just got done with the Patriots and I did it differently this time (from the panthers book) to be consistent with how madden had its stars set up. For example on 2nd and medium they had all runs and pass plays star rated a 2 1/2. I added plays from every formation and on 2nd and medium I kept them at a 2 1/2. On 2nd and short or 3rd and short they had runs rated 4 stars and passes 1 1/2. Again I kept it the same. It's the opposite on passing downs like 3rd or 2nd and long. I'm assuming there had to be something in the code for them to mix up and why they have some rated as they do. What I did do though is I gave gronk (where he is the primary receiver in the route) a play added and I might put a extra star on it if it was a really good play to get him the ball. Another example is I gave his play where he go's on a fade in the end zone 5 stars and differentiated from EA with those type of plays. I think this is the way to go to stay consistent with all playbooks... Just an idea...

So the only way is to go get a second controller? Nobody has discovered a single controller work around?

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

I'm new to custom playbooks, so sorry for this question if it's stupid

So, basically, I download a custom playbook (hopefully there will be some on PS4).
Then in CFM mode, I add an extra controller (can I basically just add the new player, or do I need to create a new CFM profile or anything?), and scroll over to the opposition team, and then choose the downloaded custom playbook.
Then move the controller back to middle so CPU controls

That's it? Realistic CPU playcalling?

Sorry again

They did not have this last year in CFM I don't believe, but if you did it in Play Now the playbook would not stick. In other words, it would revert back to the team specific playbook. I hope it is different this year.

Create a 2nd profile on your ps4 (or use another profile if you already have more than 2.)

Once you're on that profile, download a custom playbook.

Switch back over to your main profile. Go to your CFM. Create a new PLAYER on the TEAM you're playing against that week in your franchise (click on Right Stick). Make him an ACTIVE QB. Choose the team's 3rd stringer (or whatever is lowest - the idea is: you DON'T want him playing).

***IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU CLICK INSTANT STARTER OFF***

Then switch back over to your team. Start the game.

On the controller select screen, turn on a 2nd controller. Make sure it's connected to the 2nd profile (the same one that downloaded the custom playbook).

Slide the 2nd controller over to the opposing team. Choose the custom playbook for them.

Launch the game. The CPU should use the custom playbook and as long as the other quarterbacks don't get injured, your game will play perfectly with the CPU using much better play calling.

I don't own 17 yet (picking it up in a few hours) but from what I've heard, this process SHOULD work. I'll test later when I can.

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

Vikings, Falcons, Saints, and cardinals are done and added to the OP. I also put all the playbooks on madden share (xbox1) with most 4 verts and playactions removed on 3rd and 4th down already for a good base for you guys to start your own custom books. I put pre book under description for those.

Nothing for PS4?

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

49ers done and OP up to date. Also updated panthers book to be consistent across the board with star ratings...

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

This really makes a huge difference in the CPU gameplay... Played against the Vikes and they were run heavy.. even saw them actually run a QB read option for Teddy on 3rd & short..

1 question tho Vann... I cant seem to get the Seahawks defensive book loaded
