Madden 20 Custom Playbook & Game Plan Play Call Guide

Re: Madden 20 Custom Playbook & Game Plan Play Call Guide

How do you get your custom playbook to show up in the "schemes" menu in cfm? I know you said something about being able to do formation subs but I am confused on how to do it. I only see the default team playbooks. I would like to have my playbook show up so I can do formation subs.

Is there a different way to do it besides the "schemes" menu?

What I was suggesting in my write up is that you go into the schemes menu and select the coach's playbook you used to build your custom book. That way, any formation present in that book would allow for you to use formation subs. However, additional formations brought in, not originally part of that particular coach's book, would not be available for substitutions.

Obviously, not quite the answer you were hoping for, but at least it's better than having no sub options at all. It would be nice if they revamped custom playbooks so we could simply build the book from scratch and assign it as our scheme.

Ok. thank you for clearing it up.

Is there at least a possibility PS4 players can see those custom playbooks from SABO and VanWolfHawk so we could build them for ourselves?

Currently I’m not perfectly happy with those I tried on madden share, & I’m not very good at building them on my own.

Re: Madden 20 Custom Playbook & Game Plan Play Call Guide

I just finished my first custom offensive playbook.

I can't thank you enough for the work you have put in here, just figuring out how we can finally use the gameplan feature, and also the youtube videos and the personel groupings list. Just amazing, and needless to say it helped me a ton.

I will post my way of setting up the playbook/gameplan tomorrow, since I found a way to really build a "skeleton" to my playbook that allows me to regameplan within 1 or 2 hours and set up a new gameplan based on the strenghts of my roster. Maybe it will just become a giant paragraph me talking nerdy madden stuff, but maybe I can help someone who also want's to start with his own playbook, but doesn't know where to start.

Re: Madden 20 Custom Playbook & Game Plan Play Call Guide

------ I'm working on a new gameplan with the procedures you've placed here, and will update the youtube video set I made with regards to the changes.-------

Great job on your videos PhoenixJaidin. I'm sure folks greatly appreciate being able to "see" how it's done. If anyone is interested in checking out his work, click below link on YouTube. Video starts at the 3 minute mark.

I'm sure this is a really dumb question but am new to Madden, but how do you call plays in your Gameplan? Did you just call plays out of formations and have to remember which ones you put in the gameplan?

You will find your gameplanned plays show up under coach suggestions, run and pass playcall windows. You won't need to call plays under formation, unless the 4 minute situation triggers.

Thank you very much. And your initial post helped me tremendously with custom playbooks thank you.

you mention in one of your paragraphs about labeling the star plays in gameplan accordingly instead of letting them all be 2.5 stars. What does the star ratings for each play do? Does it just let you better organize in the Gameplan section of your playbook, or do they actually show up differently in the coach's suggestion when calling plays?

The only purpose for starring plays as I suggest is so that I can easily find and swap out plays when making changes to my gameplan. You most certainly can leave them at 2.5 if you wish to do so. Good luck.

I dont understand the color code to the playbook

Just my OCD way of designating whether the play is a run (green) or which receiver position X(blue) Z (red) TE (teal) or Slot (brown) is the primary read. That way, I make sure to build balance within each formation, while it reminds me to gameplan accordingly, so as not to tip my hand regarding the given situation. Happy Holidays.

I’m building some books for a 1995 file. Your initial post has been helpful. I do cpu/cpu, and you can dang near replicate the touches per wr with the primary reads on pass plays. Like for the cowboys, i have Irvin targeted big time. Novachek is second. Got a couple of primary reads for kevin williams. He didnt catch many per came but they were all big plays for the most part.

Thanks for putting this together.

On a side note, with cpu/cpu, the stars do matter. Especially with run/pass ratio or if your trying to spread carries out with specialty formations with 3rd down backs and power backs.

If the team passes, i dial in more 3 and a half stars for pass plays with proper hot read and base run plays are 3 stars. For redzone, third and forth downs and 2 minute offense, i only rate those half stars to add more variety and eliminate teams from finding money plays they can run over and over again.

Lol, yeah after I finish my current season, I am going to re-work my Cowboys to reflect some of my all time favorite players. Gonna be tough deciding on that roster.

Star ratings absolutely matter. The purpose of my star suggestions were so that users, who were picking their own plays anyway, could easily access and change out plays when building additional gameplans. Happy Holidays.

No, I didn't remove or rename books. However, I, and other folks, have had issues with rosters and playbooks magically disappearing after having been uploaded. I will take a look and will upload a new one if necessary. However, my book has vastly changed since last summer, with quite a few additions. Happy New Year everyone. Edit.... I just checked and Edge Offense playbook is still uploaded.
