    Custom Playbooks = Online Cheesing

    Im afraid thats what it would come down too. Dont know if youre even allowed your custom PB online or not. (hoping not)

    This feature does nothing for me really, but i understand it was heavily wanted by many NCAA Football franchise buyers. Im happy for the people that got the ask and you shall receive treatment. Worked for me with dreads.

    I am personally very excited for Custom Playbooks. And judging from the poll on this board, 56% of people rarely, if ever, play on-line. I play my dynasty off-line because that's the most fun for me. And I'm also happy that EA is listening and responding to the community!

      Re: Custom Playbooks = Online Cheesing

      Thankfully, I don't play online and I can see the concern, but I don't know if this facilitates cheesing too much. From what I've gathered, most cheerers who'd abuse custom playbooks probably only use a handful of plays as of now anyway. If a persons going to cheese with 3 cheap plays, I don't know if it's going to make their cheesing any worse than it already is. A cheap player is a cheap player regardless of the playbook.

        I as well dont play online ever either. Its not that using the same play over and over again thats the cheesing part. Its using a formation that will be "unstopable". Probably an illegal formation at that.

        If EA listened to customers as much as you think than one would figure they would fix issues that has haunted the franchise since the next gen consoles came out.

            You're not confusing Custom playbooks with creating plays are you? Otherwise I'm not sure how illegal formations could possibly be in the game.

              Im thinking you can move WR's and RB's anywhere you want. Kinda like what Madden used to have. I guess no one knows for sure how they will work.

              Are you saying that custom playbooks are just a handful of formations and plays that are already in the game?

                Yes, that's exactly what it is. Up to 40 formations and 377 plays per playbook.

                  Sir, first of all, i strongly believe that playing online is OPTIONAL! Saying that, if im paying for a video game that cost darn near $70, then i want as many options as possible, the more the better imo. Its real easy, im gonna welcome all additions, as far as custom playbooks, im sure i wont need it for offense but boy o' boy, defense defense defense! Im just salivating at the possibilities
                  P.s. thanks in advance for your hard work on the rosters!

                  How often can the bug be reproduced? That's a question for the developers...I'm not testing this for them...

                      Nice find dan_457!! Also, it appears you can edit coaches! Look at the far right of the same menu bar that has the custom playbooks.

                      I wonder what that entails. Nice!

                        I don't care if it ruins online play because I don't venture into facing randoms.

                        I only play a handful of people

                        I can't wait to create my playbook!!!

                          Also there is a teambuilder roster share... wonder if this is different than what we can already do with TB. Maybe adding single teams to a complete roster? (ie faster naming of roster)

                          Also you will be able to assign a custom pb to a cpu team.

                            that would be the case if they allowed create-a-play. don't see that being a factor too much if you are just swapping different formations from pre-existing playbooks. folks that want to put in the practice time to take advantage of whatever inherent weaknesses of the game design wasn't going to stop or slow down whether custom playbooks are in or not.

                              Custom playbooks isn't create a formation guys.... How can custom playbooks equate to online cheesing when all of the plays are set in the game already? The user cannot create there own formation...
