You just won't have the options to set subs for additional formations that aren't in that default playbook from that screen...you can still set form subs from the playcalling screen in-game, and they'll persist for the rest of that game.

The general advice if you're interested in using form subs with a custom playbook is to start with a default book that contains as many of the formations you plan to use as possible, rather than tearing a book down to the studs and rebuilding from scratch.

Been like this for years.

Thanks for the reminder, I actually remember doing just that on past Madden's.



Stupidly forgot, as on recent Madden's I've just cleared a playbook to bare minimum and then added plays to my liking.



Obviously plays I tried to change players in formation subs were not from default playbook I set in team schemes.
