What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
Which mode has this happened in? Dynasty
Summarize your bug In the custom playbook editor, the set "3-3-5" cannot be added to the playbook. You can add plays from the set, but when you go back to the "my playbook" section from the "all plays" section, this set does not appear. It is also not listed under audibles.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Create a new playbook 2. Go to the all plays section and try to add plays from 3-3-5 TITE 3. When you go back to "My playbook", the 3-3-5 set does not appear Honestly this set should really be listed under NICKEL, but if this is the way that you want it, it should at least work lol. Georgia frequently uses both 4 down (4-2-5) and 3 down (MINT/3-3-5 TITE) as the base of their defense, so it's not like this is unrealistic.
What happens when the bug occurs? The user (me) is unable to add a set to my custom playbook that I want as a core part of my defense.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to add whatever plays, sets, and formations that I want to my custom playbooks.

In the custom playbook editor, the set "3-3-5" cannot be added to the playbook. You can add plays from the set, but when you go back to the "my playbook" section from the "all plays" section, this set does not appear. It is also not listed under audibles.

    Hello, I've tried to download custom playbooks from the sharing section in the game and these playbooks are not appearing anywhere I search. I even tried to create my own custom offensive playbook to see if it needed an existing one before it would appear and still nothing. 

    I'm able to select download on the playbook and it says the download has completed. I'm also able to see the playbooks under my recently downloaded files in the sharing center but they aren't showing anywhere else and I cannot use them. I've checked every place I could find that might have it. 

    They also do NOT appear under the manage files section so it's like the playbook never imported.

    One final note that may or may not be helpful is that the downloads are near instant for these. I don't know the size of a playbook but I hardly see the progress bar at all before it says the download completed.

    I have also had this issue both prior to todays patch and following todays patch. I even picked a brand new playbook after today's patch to check if it would work and it did not.

    Same here. 3-3-5 and 3-3-5 Tite formations show up under 'All Plays' in the custom defense playbook creator. But you cannot set audibles/gameplan those plays.

    4-2-5 formations do no show up at all in the custom defense playbook creator.

    Hey, All

    We have sent this up to the team for review!

    Once we have more info or need more information from players, we will drop a line here and let everyone know what is happening!

    Request:

    • Let us know if you can use the same playbooks in other modes or if it is only one mode that the playbook cannot be used in.
    • Also, if you could drop in your Dynasty name, that would be great!

    Cheers!

    This issues with the 3-3-5 appear in every game mode not just dynasty. I encountered it in dynasty first because thats the first mode i played. I did think maybe it was a dynasty thing but its definitely a problem throughout all game modes. I dont think it has anything to do with game modes.  Many playbooks are buggy when editing them. 

  • I have this same issue since day one. Created a custom playbook based on the 3-3-5 defense. Not a single 3-3-5 def play shows up as added to my playbook. Side not, no edits to the playbook take affect in dynasty mode if edits were done after starting the dynasty mode. Please fix these playbook issues guys, besides this I’m loving the game.

    3-3-5 Defensive formations don’t show up in game play or practices, even though they do show up when creating a custom playbook in the first place. I’ve tried various end arounds to try to fool the software but there’s no solution to this glitch. Even the basic 3-3-5 playbook won’t load 3-3-5’s during game play. The latest update did NOT solve this. Please fix!

    This is MADDENing, pun intended.

    Edit my post from yesterday.  You cannot add 3-3-5 to an existing custom playbook but you can start a new custom playbook and add it - then save it under the previous custom playbook file.  

    Thanks to EA for fixing this issue.  Now if you can fix the QB issue in coach mode you will make a lot of people happy.

  • Hello I am having issues still with my custom playbook. When I go to use it none of the plays I add show up. For example in shot gun under Ace Slot posts do not show up but they are shown in my custom playbook. Please help.

  • Yeah I'm still having issues with favorites not saving from game to game when using a custom playbook. Only some plays stay selected as favorites permanently, while others only remain favorites for that current game. Its frustrating having to add the same plays to my favorites list every game on both offense and defense.

  • 3-2-6 plays do not exist in custom playbook and there’s some Nickel formations missing as well.

    @TheBigDawg2442 This is still broken for me. I’ve just created a new playbook based on the default 43 Multiple, and 3-3-5 formation/plays I’ve added still don’t show in my dynasty even though it’s in the custom playbook.
  • It does show in exhibition mode, just not in online dynasty mode.
  • This has still not been fixed. It doesn’t have to be a custom playbook. I tried switching from a 3-3-5 to a 3-3-5 Tite and no 3-3-5 plays showed in online dynasty on a new online Dubai after the newest patch.

    Hey, Folks

    If you are still having an issue with the playbooks, can you try the following and let us know if this works for you?

    From Home tab

    Go to the create and share

    Load/delete files > All

    From this menu, go through each tab and delete files related to playbooks, rosters, etc. Keep in mind not to delete anything Dynstay or offline related as you will have to start that over again.

    Once deleted, reboot the game, and update. Any playbooks you had you will need to re-download.

    @EA_Shepard Tried the steps listed above and still am missing tons of plays in my custom playbook, although deleted sets are gone. Any further ideas for a fix? Thanks
  • I’m having this issue on PlayStation, I save my custom playbook and when I go into practice or play now and try to use my custom play book the play I added aren’t available, but when I go and check to customize it says those play sets are saved.
