The Post-Patch Custom Playbooks

[ViLLiO]

What does this mean?

"You have reached the minimum allowed plays for your coaching strategy. This formation was not removed."

What??

First of all, I started over with a new CPB since the patch screwed my last ones up. I chose Army as my base, and I was going to delete all of the flexbones and add a bunch of Ace/Shotgun. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the reason I do this is because Army has no shotgun formations, therefore a bunch of garbage shotgun formations that I'll never use will not be on my play-call screen in crunch time...

But now it won't let me delete the flexbones?? So now I'm going to be stuck with a bunch of formations that I'll never use, regardless of my base. Is there any way around this? Why must I keep these flexbone formations?

You have to have 50 plays. Add ace big, delete the rest

I had 375.

Re: The Post-Patch Custom Playbooks

Well, the patch really screwed up CPBs. It's not just Army. I just tried it with LSU's Multiple PB as a base, and it's forcing me to keep a Pistol formation, and I NEVER use the pistol.

Looks like I'll have to go here and find a base PB that has a lot of the formations I use, and just start from there.

I don't know about y'all, but this really irritates me. I HATE having formations that I'll never use in my playbook. It really screws up my rhythm as an offensive play-caller, especially when I'm going no huddle.

It sounds like you tried to delete them all which would've put you under 50.

Pre patch it went like this:

• Select pb.
• Delete all plays until it says you can't delete any more.
• Add 50 plays you want
• Delete the remaining plays you couldn't delete before.
• Add the rest of your plays.

I don't have the patch so I don't know if that doesn't work anymore.

Dude I know how custom playbooks work. My CPB pre-patch did not have this problem. I was able to delete all of the formations I didn't use.

Re: The Post-Patch Custom Playbooks

Yep......just loaded my Custom book and it Jacked it all up. I now have formations and plays that I never added and I'll have to start from scratch.

This is seriously frustrating.

Thank you, I knew it wasn't just me. Good luck trying to delete formations you'll never use, now. You're stuck with 'em.

Re: The Post-Patch Custom Playbooks

I'm in practice mode trying out my new CPB. Looks like I'm stuck with this BS that I deleted. I DON'T WANT SPREAD FLEX.



Good job on the patch, EA. You're off to a great start.

FYI that was pre patch in custom playbooks. I always thought it was added with the hail Mary stuff.

Not in mine. I refused to put up with that crap, which is why I chose Army as my base (they have no shotgun). Now when I choose Army I'm forced into keeping the Flex.

Re: The Post-Patch Custom Playbooks

I hate to be the one to break this to you guys, but it appears that ALL playbooks are messed up. This was posted on another board, by a member who has a PS3.

I don't think it has anything to do with Custom Playbooks at all... I think it's all playbooks. I was experiencing the same issue on defense with the default 4-2-5 playbook when my CPU opponent was running no huddle... I could only call plays from the first formation listed in that formation type.

It does come down to the first formation listed in each type... I called another no huddle, and I could call from Pistol - Y-Trips (first of my two Pistol formations) or Shotgun - Bunch HB Str (first of my many shotgun formations).

Great LOL, well that's the final peanut in this chunk of turd.

Re: The Post-Patch Custom Playbooks

this is stupid. Leave it to EA to have a 'fix' break something else.

I had a custom playbook based off of Boise's base saved. Come to edit it, now I have a bunch of random plays/forms I didnt want added that I cant get rid of.

I tried starting from scratch, but that doesnt work either. Some formations just CANNOT be removed, no matter what.

I could be wrong, but it seems to be somewhat tied to the audibles that your base set initially has. Even if you change them to another formation, the formations used by the initial audibles are stuck there forever.

NICE FIX EA

Re: The Post-Patch Custom Playbooks

there are also entire formations that don't even exist anymore. for example, I formation double tights isn't even in the game anymore. and who knows how many others.

any word on when (or if) this will get fixed?
