They load fine for me... Is his book much different from the default? Most of what we're doing is changing gameplans so that the CPU uses our books better. My actual changing of what's in the book has been minimal, a formation of two if at all. EA actually has done a great job building these playbooks in my opinion. They just left the job half done. So without us some of those plays they added that are exactly what the real team runs won't ever be called by the CPU.

It is in the sense that there's are a few extra formations but the real benefit is I sometimes use Coach Suggestion & it seems to pull a better variety of plays. I think I may have figured out the problem though. I think when I closed the app to save my game & then went back to it loads the default playbook.

OK, also in cfm you can check right before the game starts. Hit X instead of options at the team select and it'll bring up the advanced options and what playbook you're using.

BadGuy,

Got a chance to take a look at your Lions, Bears, and Vikings playbooks.

Excellent work, my man! The amount of variety is astounding. It's obvious you put a TON of work into these!!

One question I have for you or anyone else making these playbooks: are you seeing a balanced run/pass ratio from the CPU opponents?

I've heavily favored running plays in some of these playbooks on 1st down (especially for a team like the Cowboys who run on first down at least 80% of the time)...but am not seeing nearly enough 1st down runs from the CPU.

I checked their team scheme to make sure it wasn't out of whack...and it was balanced offense. So not sure why I'm seeing so many passes. Any ideas??

I know for my CFM, the playbook won't load unless I go into "Advanced Options" at the team select. The playbook I want always comes up as default, but unless I actually go into the options first it won't load

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sucks having one controller. Can't test out these playbooks. Even tried going to Coach Scheme for cpu. It'll let me chose ANY playbook except for custom ones

You could get one used on Amazon for 30 bucks.

But if you have to choose between getting another game and another controller, I feel ya. Hard decision.

I've been play now testing up until now. I set up a 32 team coach cfm so I can do the 3rd string QB switch out. I always did 32 owners before, but you can't switch out owners and then take them back over. I'll play a game or 2 tonight and tell you what I see. One thing I know is each coach has their own run/pass slider that we can't touch. I'll try a game against the Vikes or Cardinals because those are the heaviest running playbooks I've done.

In related news, I've got the Cards just about done. I gotta say, EA does a really good job building these for the players. They just don't gameplan anything. But everything I read and saw about Bruce Arians offense - he loves to stack formations and use hi-lo-lo route combinations so that the QB has a 2nd underneath option in case he misreads the defense presnap - stuff like that was all over the playbook, it just wasn't rated.

Anyways, Cards up in an hour or 2. I'll post when it is.
