Creating a play shouldn't be limited to just offense. With the ability to create custom defensive formations and plays that would offset the chance of created offensive plays to be abused.
Alternatively, add the feature for offline use only. Even if a created play could exploit the AI What would it hurt?
It would also be a huge boost to in person couch games, playing with a friend experimenting with wacky formations.
@joshforkinatorIt looks like we agree that a play creator is a must have... But if it's only available offline, it's still a deal breaker. A few of us are only interested in playing against human competitors, and online is the easiest way to accomplish it. Furthermore, some of us are old school and are more concerned with simulating the X's and O's of the game in ways that Madden no longer allows because the formations aren't there...
The offenses possible from Split Back, Far, & Near formations are a lost art... Motioning fullbacks to the slot from I-Form... So much football that used to be available just isn't anymore. And that missing football would have no ill effects on the AI. Thus, would be perfectly suited to the online arena.
Besides, if a "Create a Play" feature were available for offense and defense, we would literally change the way we play the game - for the better.
