I'd love to get that formation and others from the generic books into a custom book, or even in CFM somehow. Would this be possible at some point?

Playbook Mods
So I understand modding Frostbite is pretty difficult, but how hard would it be to get a Windows-based playbook editor going that can put out a file to be injected into the game? It'd be a lot easier to work with than the Madden editor and would potentially give you access to formations and plays not found in the playbook builder, like the weird offset Ace formation in the Legends playbook.

Re: Playbook Mods
I am absolutely going to try. This is my number one mod anticipation. I am hoping the old Madden 08 Playbook editor can be a starting point. Until we get more info though not sure what is possible. Might take a year or two but I would love to see a playbook editor. -
Re: Playbook Mods
Just from scoping through the files, I can't see any defined "playbook" files except for the custom ones you make. It looks like we might be waiting for an editor of sorts, but I'm not sure if people will really be focused on a playbook editor as much as they will other mods.I am absolutely going to try.

Re: Playbook Mods
Slight bump. Did some searching and couldn't find anything; wondering if anybody knows if this is coming to fruition yet?Comment

Re: Playbook Mods
Check out football idiots forum; someone found the playbook “code.” It was easier to access than anticipated but there is no way to implement changes into the game as of yet. Long story short, initial progress seems to be promising but its still a long way from the development of a programComment

Re: Playbook Mods
The playbook files just appear to be .xml files.
If you have some programming knowledge you would just make a front end for it and then parse the xml and re-write the .xml file, you should then be able to import it back in via Frosty, that would be my best guess anyway.Comment

Re: Playbook Mods
Doesn’t seem to be anymore posts in the thread on the football idiots forum. Hopefully we can gain access at some point.Comment

I haven't had time to get into this yet. I am still playing NCAA 14 and kind of content there...maybe in a few weeks I will jump into this.Comment

Re: Playbook Mods
I plan on making the switch to PC but upgrading my desktop in a couple weeks
In the meantime I've been looking through frosty, and the .xlb files that make up the playbooks.. It doesnt seem THAT complicated in terms of figuring out what is what, just time consuming.. I just have no experience in creating a tool that would be able to put all the data together and help us edit the playbooks...
if we figure this out I THINK we can at least create all the jet sweeps that are in the NFL using WR QUICK/PA END ARND as the base... I plan on going all out and creating GAMEDAY playbook that will be composed of the exact same plays the team ran on sundays using the ALL-22 film...DISCORD - Madden Modding Community DiscordComment

Re: Playbook Mods
It's not a mod.
It requires work and its very hard to learn but simple to grasp. The biggest issues there isnt a reference point for the 6000 diff routes they have. I'll share what I posted on discord here
"its pretty simple
in terms of how to do it
the difficulty comes form the positions dont always match up in each formations
and there isnt a guide for every route
all im doing is opening 3 windows of the EA DB editor
and over writing one play
but using the routes from other plays to get them FOR EX. If I want to turn Levels outside WR into a comeback route, I'd go find a play that has that route in for a guy on the exact same side and change the values. Tricky part is each side has its own route. So slant for a left WR doesnt flip for the ridht side WR. U have to find his own slant.
IF that makes sense"DISCORD - Madden Modding Community DiscordComment
