CFM Team Schemes: 32 Team Control

[JaymeeAwesome]

This thread is to talk about 32 team control and schemes. Let's discuss the best schemes for all 32 teams regardless of them being human controlled or CPU controlled.

With 32 Team Control this year, we can control the CPU playbooks, style, and position types. I don't trust the default playbooks 100% and the style of play for the teams out of the box. Here is the format:

Team Name:
OFF Playbook:
DEF Playbook:
OFF Style:
DEF Style:
Position Types:
Comments:

Please stick with this format and let the games begin. Maybe with all of us here, we can finally make teams play like their real life counterparts. Also, I'm hoping this may "fix" the sim stats to a more lifelike result.

Who's up first?

Hopefully with the game coming out at midnight and many people doing their lab work, we will get some biters in here to lend their opinion.

Is Bill Walsh Playbook in the game again this year?

Re: CFM Team Schemes: 32 Team Control

I have started going through each given team and removing all vertical plays on offense and engage right on defense. It seems rated different plays for different situations this year. I have no added any plays though. My TE is not as open now on 2nd and 3rd and long.

Is there actually a way to assign custom playbooks to coaches in CFM? I played around with the game today, but i see no way to do that.

Really hope I'm wrong.

Are you doing this in connected franchise mode for the CPU teams if so how?

How about in the matchup screen where you select your controller. If you plug a 2nd one in can you switch to the CPU team and assign them a playbook and make it stick after you start the game in Franchise mode? Have you tried using 32 team control with every team controlled by the user?

32 team control allows you to set all teams play books and style of play.

Have you tried to assign a custom playbook to a coach in Madden 25? Because I tried that today, and it wouldn't give me the option. It only lets you choose from the existing playbooks.

I believe you can only select a custom playbook from the controller page before a game. If you have two controllers you will be able to set up your opponents playbook. If you want schemes to work for the other 31 teams, you have to find the best equivalent playbook to their style.

Can anyone do a test and clarify this? Someone assign a playbook to their week 1 opponent. Modify it with a bunch of wildcat plays on 1st down or something then assign the custom playbook to them and go in game and see if it sticks. I am worried you can only assign the default playbooks and not a custom one to the CPU which is useless because all of the default playbooks have awful rated/chosen defensive plays (Engage Eights and all out blitzes on 3rd downs) I want to get rid of those things in franchise mode, can you do that or not?

If that's the case, then offline franchise is a no-go for me. I'd hope we're back (hilarious) to where we left off in Madden 11 when GamePlans worked.

Re: CFM Team Schemes: 32 Team Control

This is the most important wishlist item for me can someone investigate and give us an answer? I'm pathetic and love football an unhealthy amount so I will be picking up the game in a few weeks anyway but I am very curious. I feel the biggest improvement to User vs AI franchise games would be the ability to remove the engage eight and all out blitzes on 3rd downs from the CPU teams playbooks, can you do this?

Can you customize a gameplan (rate the plays/remove plays) and assign them to CPU teams in franchise mode. Not just in the menus but does it actually stick during the games?

I tried it with the Season Ticket version and it appeared to work. The only issue is that I did it in a franchise with 32 teams controlled by me. So there were no CPU controlled teams. I had to use the second controller trick for the playbooks to stick though.

Do we have Bill Walsh Playbook in the game again this year ? I didn't know his book was in the game last year until I looked at. YouTube clip showing his Playbook. I would have purchased the game used for the Playbook alone. The best offense ever.
