What do you mean we don't have to use 2 different profiles?
You mean like a guest profile?
If so, that's true,
but we still have to use the 2nd controller trick/create a player "role" .
UNLESS, like I was wanting to test,
Is creating a.coach and changing the playbook inside the coaching schemes. And if it let's us choose a custom book?
I just tested it. Its the same as last year.

Your way doesnt work on custom playbooks.

For example, I have a 32 team franchise. I created a playbook and assigned it the Vikings under the second controller. I moved the controller back to the middle and started the game.

The game froze. Just like last year.

The only way to do this with custom playbooks is last year's method (Create a player, make that player a 3rd string QB and keep the controller on the 2nd profile side.)

Ok, thanks for testing it. So its a no go for creating a coach, thanks for clarifying that.
Just have to use the create a player for now

OK got the custom playbooks up and running on PS4.

I just created a BALANCED run/pass book and am currently testing it against the CPU.

So far, everything works perfectly.

KEY NOTE I forgot to mention: you must use an OFFLINE franchise and you must set INSTANT STARTER to OFF in your commissioner league settings.

I will keep everyone up to date with how the playbooks are looking!

I'm not quite understanding how to do this in CFM it only lets me on my one controller when I sign the dummy 2nd controller on as guest none of the custom playbooks show up when I go to change if for the CPU

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

So, I got 16 teams rough drafts done. I will not do anymore until I get these finalized. It's a lot harder to add plays that fit a situation than it is to delete plays which is why I have so many plays as of now. I just corrected all 16 teams inside the 5 yard line plays and deleted a bunch. I also tested a few star ratings as well as a few plays vs the CPU and need to make some changes.

For example I tested bills playbook and they wouldn't threw the ball out of bounds twice on wr screen plays. Also the shotgun zone run works well for the CPU but I've seen the base run get blown up so I need to test some more. I'm thinking I might need to eliminate the shotgun runs outside of zone runs. I also saw too many playactions on a few downs do going to adjust those with half star ratings. Seemed good after I did this. I'm also getting verts called which I didn't want to eliminate but I might eliminate them all together now unless they have a check down in it. Then lastly, adding team specific plays like cam and panthers qb power runs maybe add a half star on certain downs above the other stars to maybe see that a few times a game...

I'm still researching team plays, sets, etc. Once I get these dialed in I'll re upload. The ones online are a good start to get a feel but I'm not happy where they are at right now.

Question... Where was this stated wr 1 and wr 2 will be fixed and patched? Mr. Price had said he was told it was done on purpose.

Make sure your guest account has the playbooks downloaded to it.

Each account on your system will have different files saved to it. Unfortunately, the playbook files must be saved to the guest account.

If you need a quick way to transfer files, just go to EA share, upload the playbook, switch accounts, and download it from the guest account.

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

I see alot on this thread about the custom playbooks making the teams you play more authentic. While I can definitely see the importance in this for some, its not a big deal to me. What is a big deal, however, is having a good play calling system for the team I'm controlling, and currently, I hate the quick playcalling since it basically just repeats the same plays over and over, with 3/4 of the playbook not starred/rated (so they'll never pop up) and the plays that are rated, arent really indicitave of the team I use general gameplay.

So that being said, do these also improve your own offensive playcalling? Are all the plays rated, or is it just a small selection like the default playbooks?

I can't wait to try out the Steelers version you made. Last year I went in and rated every offensive/defensive play for the steelers so I could get more variety. It took forever. So I appreciate all the work you are putting into this!

Yea, i think ya'll might be right about it not working for custom books when you use the method of, switch 2nd controller to cpu side, change playbook, then move back to middle... That might just work for the default books, not customs. It's definitely ringing a bell..
