Yes I've seen CPU audible this year or they switch plays to right or left Side. Not 100% positive but they are doing something! Lol! I do them more for user side though.

Good news. The formation is in the game. Its a gun formation "Normal Flex Wing"

Just finished an extremely rough draft of the Saints playbook. Took out the garbage ratings and did what research I could to get a feel for their offense.

Their playbook is one of the more popular ones with the Madden community so hopefully I can recreate their look and feel.

Good news and bad...

The good

- I got the Seahawks book back with no glitch or freezing after eliminating a lot of stars and plays from different formations. I think I just had way to much going on.

- I was chargers vs Seahawks and they had custom playbook. They ran 1 play 3x (RB slip screen) but did not run ONE play that was the same the whole 1st half.

- the CPU AI was on another level and extremely hard to defend. It was 13-3 at half them but they had a pick 6 in last minute of half. I was playing 15 minute quarters and have a pretty tough slider set but the CPU wasn't cheesy as Russell was 17-25 in 1st half with 15 minute quarters and 17 second run off.

This leads me to the bad...

- they only ran to lynch 2x and 1 Russell kept on read option. Plus like I said Russell through 25x in 1st half. That's unacceptable so need to go back and rate certain plays higher than others. As is now I have most all at same 4 star ratings for variety. So, I'll fix screen passes and get them running the ball. If that doesn't work I might have to drop some passing plays from their 1st down situations. I think rating stars will do the trick though.

It was the best I've seen the CPU though mixing it up. I mean they did not run a play twice besides the screen but even the screen came from 3 different formations. This is a game changer! Super pumped!

Back to the lab!!! Once Hawks are done now that I got the process down teams will go way faster now too. I'm just OCD with the Hawks as a Seahawks fan! I still need to fix defense a bit too so when I can upload finally I'll be doing both at the same time.

Last thing and this is a question for whoever. I've never twitched but I know I have it set up to. I want you guys to be able to see this at least if you can't download yet. How do I do this so you guys can watch the CPU AI with the Hawks?

Awesome to hear man!

I had a similar problem with the Panthers playbook. They were throwing it far too often. All I had to do is re-rate the pass and run plays so runs were rated higher and boom.....worked like a charm.

So glad to know we found out what was causing the freezing and crashing.

I really hope we can find a way to share these playbooks efficiently. Want to check out what you've come up with.

Also hoping more PS4 OS members can help out

They pretty much run I formation and Single back on 1st and 2nd and run the shotgun on 3rd. The only issue I have is that they call a few plays from a hybrid pistol/shotgun formation where Eli us about a yard or 2 behind the center and the running back is a yard behind Eli but also to the left of Eli. Its not the pistol because the RB isnt directly behind him. Should I consider that a Shotgun play or a Pistol play? Any thoughts?

Green Bay is the first team I really remember seeing that. I always called it Shortgun. They did it because Favre wasn't really comfortable with the shotgun back then and they wanted to use it a lot more. It works really well with the old west coast offense because the QB basically gets the ball in a 3-step drop. They still use it with Rodgers.

In previous years they had Shotgun - Offset Formations in Madden that were similar, haven't checked this year though.

The Giants are up and I'm going to work on the Redskins next. Its under GiantsOS.

The Skins playbook is a lot less vanilla than the Giants so this may take me most of the day. Already scouted the skins and they use almost double the amount of formations as the Giants.

Is there a way to add formations to a playbook, I was making a rough draft of the Seahawks yesterday and saw they did not have 4-3 Under, which is their main front, and is really unacceptable considering Pete Carrol's dedication to it.
