Btw, I've said this a few times already but the teams defensive default PBs are saddening, no wonder we find the CPU so easy to move the ball against. I bet if we get the CPUs defensive playcalling logic improved, like we are for the offenses, we wouldn't need to change the gameplay sliders. Almost everybodys biggest gripe vs the CPU is the playcalling logic on offense and defense, and the repetitive way they have it setup by default.

Yeah, I was going to end up with literally the whole playbook available on first downs and in the red zone lol. I think what I'm going to do is go by Situation then Formation. So basically start with 1st Down and Singleback Ace and pick any play that I think would be good on first down, then move to Singleback Y Trips and do the same. Should end up with far less multiples doing it that way and will also allow me to make sure that multiple plays of each formation are in certain situations where they're needed so that you can't pick up on them.

I think more than likely the CPU would use more than the 30 alotted as long as they're in the situation but it seemed out that add play became greyed out after thirty despite being able to add more. Might mess with a little bit more just to confirm, all it takes is them using the 31st play once for it to be confirmed so it shouldn't be too hard, just a little time consuming.

I'm still playing with coaching suggestions and whether to use "strategy" vs the others

OK the BALANCED ATTACK playbook is done as far as testing goes.

My biggest problem with the CPU right now is that they don't take ANY shots downfield.

Like NONE.

They will make 15-20 yard attempts - but nothing deep.

I made sure to include some verts and shot plays...and even when they dial them up, they're looking to check down to their RB/TE. I'm going to see what the CPU does with a default playbook.

In the mean time, are you guys seeing the same thing? Are your CPU QB's checking down too much?

I wish I had time to do ps4 playbooks. Is anyone planning too try?

Mine are throwing downfield when i put their WR1/2 man to man on an island and i give them time ... Basically when they can they do.

I am having the cpu use the generic books (eg "balanced" or "wco").

All-pro or All-Madden

Taylor took multiple shots down field on me on All Madden
