Madden 22 Custom Playbook Question

Re: Madden 22 Custom Playbook Question

Yes but even with all the well known bugs you listed cpb is THE feature.
I had to wait years and years to get it.
Even with glitches possibly to add/remove plays or sets or edit audibles is priceless.
Not to mention the gameplan feature which indeed need time but it is unbelievable value.

I have been playing each year 500-700 h of madden since madden 04.
I really cannot play the game with stock especially on defence with all these non sense default audibles.

So yes i would like them to fix the bugs but i am too afraid of them removing it or doing any limitations.

Re: Madden 22 Custom Playbook Question

By my count, there are at least seven major issues:

- A user cannot add plays into an offensive or defensive playbook in any meaningfully predictable order once about six plays are added into a single set. The order isn't entirely random, but I spent a long time trying to figure it out and I couldn't.

- A user cannot add formations into a defensive playbook in any meaningfully predictable order. Notably, Quarter / Dollar / Prevent randomly get sorted to the top or interleaved among the other formation options.

- When creating or editing an offensive playbook, a user cannot modify the Playaction or Conserve Time (Safe) situation ratings for a given play. This makes it impossible to entirely clear an offensive playbook and start authoring one from scratch, because a user must keep the last play in each of those two situations (the game blocks the user from removing the last remaining play in a given situation).

- When saving a defensive playbook, the star rating data for several defensive situations does not save properly. This notably affects the "vs Trips", "Nickel", "vs Bunch", "vs Wildcat", and "Empty" situations. Trying to set the play ratings for a defensive playbook is mostly a waste of time because of this bug.

- Sometimes, audibles for a given set do not save. This is the easiest bug to work around - save your playbook after setting the audibles for each set.

- Plays and sets added into the game through Live Playbooks are not made available to add into custom playbooks.

- Plays and sets only available the generic playbooks - ex. West Coast, Pistol, etc. - are not available to add into custom playbooks.

The feature is just a pain in the *** to work with if you want to put together an organized and tidy playbook. It feels like it hasn't been touched since Madden 11 (which introduced GameFlow and the concept of star ratings per-play for different situations).

I really hope there's some work done for custom playbooks soon to address all these issues.

I believe it is related to custom pb, but I will sometimes only be given Left or Right directed kick return plays. Since directed kick return plays have broken blocking logic, it basically forces me to hope it goes into the end zone for a kneel down.
