    Custom defense playbooks for the CPU...a must for sliders

    So this is for all those who aspire to play a very competitive brand of football with NCAA 12. The sliders as we all know are jacked up beyond belief and furthermore there arent any explanaations as to what all is entailed with said sliders. Coming from NDaums S.O.S. thread on his sliders and seeing as how he said making playbooks for the AI was something to look at I did just that. I run on on pretty much default heisman with all the patches and tuners with mustangs roster (with my own edits in them) and had what has to be the best and most enticing results. Realistic football that plays great. Heres what I did and maybe it will work for you:

    - I did a customn playbook for all the defenses I would see. (4-3, 3-4, 4-2-5, 3-3-5, and multiple along with a special VT 4-4 playbook)

    _Go through each playbook and IMPORTANT...take out any and ALL blitzes that have the word "engage eight", "double safety blitzes" and any blitz that is a man safety blitz (isolates one safety in a sole man coverage which always gets burned) and sell out blitzes in coverage formations such as nickel, dime. I basically removed the blitzes that are too complicated for the CPU to call at the right time. Such as 4-3 normal double corner blitz which opens up the entire middle as BOTH DT's drop into coverage. Its asinine and its not run in college ball.

    I basically went in and as a defensive coordinator I gameplanned how many plays and which kind I wanted the CPU to run. The key though is removing the double safety blitzes and the man coverage safty blitzes that gets the safeties burned and or leaves the CB stranded which is fine from time to time but not as much as the CPU calls blitzes. I have had amazing results first game was:

    Clemson (me) vs LSU (CPU)
    27 22

    Tight game all day long and had it not been for Taj Boyds legs buying me some time and me actually game planning around LSU I would have lost. Great game. There are sever al slider makers on this forum, so choose heisman, create defensive playbooks and this game gets waaay better.

    (HUM/CPU)

    Pass Acc (40/40)
    Pass Block (50/50)
    WR CTCH (45/40)
    RB ability (50/55)
    run BLK (50/55)

        Stupid question. How do you edit the other teams playbooks?

          create a custom defensive playbook with the suggestions he used for each generic defense, then before you start a game scroll over to their side and change their defensive playbook from default 4-3 (or whatever) to the custom 4-3 that you created then scroll back over to your controller side and start the game (could scroll back over to double check as well).

          NDAlum also suggested coming up with 7 offensive playbooks that would span the spectrum of different offenses in college football and allow you to eliminate the bad cpu plays such as 4 verts, hb slip screen, qb draw/option for teams without mobile qb's.

            That's a pretty good idea, thanks for the tip.

              Welcome...and yes you can keep the LB blitzes and leave the safeties, but make sure you guys also look at the audible plays too and make the changes. CPU like to audible into the all LB blitz and screw themselves over. Basically it boils down to this:

              Just look at the play...if it remotely looks like the CPU will screw it up...they will. Ol ben haubamiller and comapny say they know about football, and the CPU programming and the logic behind NCAA12 makes me think the closest he got to football was holding camera cables or something.

                are custom playbooks something you can share in the ea locker like rosters?
                I personally don't have the ambition to to create a bunch of playbooks. I know the 8 man blitzes are annoying but they don't bother me as much as some other things with this game.

                  Man...unless someone can post a PS3 file for you then probably not. Its one of those things that takes about 10 minutes of motivation.

                    i know how lazy my post makes me seem, and i wont argue it, because im being lazy and unmotivated in this situation. I just don't mind the way the defense is called enough to mess with custom playbooks now.
                    Im going to borrow arkham city from my brother tomorrow, and am picking up uncharted 3 on release day, so those 2 games are going to be getting my attention for the near future.
                    After im done with those if i still have the urge to play ncaa then i might put some custom playbooks together.

                    I do think the ability to share custom playbooks would be a cool feature to have in the future though.

                      Here's the 4-3 playbook I came up with thanks to BlackBetty for the help



                      as you can see, Nickle/Dime/Quarter are mostly man/deep coverages/few blitzes. I would see the CPU call way too many all-out blitzes using the basic playbooks.

                        Here's the 3-4 version, for some reason I wasn't able to remove the 3 Deep Blitz out of Quarter: 3 Deep.

                          3-3-5 version. If there's a 7 man blitz, it's not in here.

                            Multiple version. This one gave me the most trouble, I wasn't able to take out a few of the overload blitzes, including Engage 8.

                              There's the 4-2-5 version, only play I couldn't remove was 3 Deep Blitz in Quarters: 3 Deep.
