Yeah I'll do at least 2-3 others. Next one I'll do is a VERTICAL ATTACK (New Orleans style) playbook.

Let me know how the Balanced Attack playbook does. I have a hunch I need to sprinkle in more PA shot plays, but I feel good for the most part.

Huge tip: if you're playing on All Pro or lower, be sure to bump CPU Run Block up to 60. Makes a HUGE difference.

Sorry if I've missed something, but is there any way to use custom playbooks for CPU teams in CFM using 32 team control?

Also, deuce I'm almost done with chargers. I started last night as I wanted to try a different approach (easier). I deleted every play and started from scratch and was selective. I still got 100 1st down plays but better than 150-200. So it did help. Then I rate stars in categories in situations like this to seperate. - play action - 1 star - runs - 2 star - passes - 3 star - screens- 4 star - draws - 5 star When I'm done with that I'll pick out best passing and running plays in a situation and rank them. Let's say I have a passing team that likes to pass on 1st down 60% of the time. I'll put 6 best pass plays (for easy example) and 4 runs or 14 pass, 6 run at 5 stars. Same for 4 stars. On 3rd and long I might have 7 pass plays rated 5 stars to 2 draws with 1 screen. Same for 4 stars etc. It's tedious but gets good results... Edit: also 1 note. I'm only using shotgun run plays with zone run or draw or dive. I'm not using base, stretch or anything else. I went and tested this vs zone and man defenses and the CPU never got a gain except 1/10x with base run. So I suggest just using the zone run out of shotgun as the CPU gets good blocking and is more effective out of it. In single back or I form tosses work well. The stretches not so much but I still sprinkled them in to make more realistic.

I like it! So Zone runs over base spread runs.
Now I'm not sure about PA 1 star?
teams use PA alot, I know we are just testing things out but let us know how often you see PA being called w/ 1 star.
Thanks bro!

No, what I mean is I categorize them 1st before placing stars. That way I distribute a certain play, playactions, draws, screen plays, run plays, etc in to each star. Make sense?

Not really,
Spell it out for me I guess. Lol
So how would your PB look like this? Share a pic if you can?

What player do you take over if the CPU only has 2 Quarterbacks. Turned instant starter off but the back up QB is the field goal holder and that that means I have to take control of the CPU kick

Sorry should have mentioned playing with XB1. Am I doing everything else correctly?

I just choose that team's coach. Cut a guy. Sign a 3rd stringer. Then play the game.
