    Is it cheating???

    So I am in the process of changing the Jets over from a 3-4 to a 4-3 in order to take advantage of their stud d line and get all 4 lineman on the field. But the generic 4-3 playbook is crap. So ive been thinking of using the bengals or seahawks 4-3 playbooks. would that be wrong I feel like using another teams book is wrong.

    Thoughts?

    If you feel that way just make a custom 4-3 playbook.

      Re: Is it cheating???

      I have thought about that but why does the custom playbook show so out of order?

      it will be-

      qtr
      4-3
      nickel
      goaline
      dime

      that might be more annoying

          Has anyone made their own playbook?

          There has to be a way to make it show up correctly?

            The order of your playbook depends on the order you start adding plays to it, that is if you're starting from scratch. If you want the 4-3 on top, start with adding 4-3 plays first, then move on from there.

              Both my offensive and defensive playbooks show in order and without any of the usual wonkiness. My starters are even correctly introduced as being a 4-3 front.

              Not sure what I did differently to make it work so well.

                When teams take other teams coordinators they essentially take that teams playbook. I wouldn't use every teams playbook against them but it's likely that the jags have a similar playbook to Seattle IRL as the coach was Seattle's DC.

                So I don't think it's a cheat to use a different playbook.

                I change playbooks on a yearly basis to simulate changing coordinators..not every year.

                But if one side of the ball is bad I'll try something new, and sometimes you pickup a guy in the draft that changes the style of ball you want to play.

                  i have a custom def playbook. it has various 3-4, 3-3-5/2-4-5/psycho nickel, big dime 2-3-6 sam, dollar, qtr and goaline iirc. i want my best 11 players on the field and ill use whichever formation achieves that as base. when i had a plethora of excellent mlbs i used 4-3 stack and manually subbed olbs for des, 2 best dline as dts, and 3 mlbers as the lbs making a 2-5-4, that was certainly interesting

                    Use the Cover 2 playbook. Best default 4-3 playbook in the game IMO

                      Not necessarily. It all depends on the team they go to, the Quarterback they have etc. Sometimes a head coach will already have a system in place and the OC will adapt to that system (which can be a disaster), other times they tailor a playbook to the team they have.

                        Comments on Cheating get to me a bit.... How we define cheating is the question...

                        To me...

                        Cheating = Doing something to manipulate code or gameplay to make the game play outside its intended programming

                        Cheese = Playing in a style that the game allows but others deem as taking advantage of the games weaknesses..

                        The best online players are almost always deemed by others as Cheesy ... They are playing a video game as a video game.

                        Using another playbook is neither of these... You are the coach... Use whatever plays you want.
