Custom Playbooks are good...but
One of my favorite aspects of NCAA '14 was building a custom playbook. While College Football '25 has this feature, it leaves a lot to be desired... 1. When building a custom playbook, the Formatio...

Update: I'm pleased that EA has addressed some of issues I've had with custom playbooks...
1. They've addressed my first complaint of listing the formations in alphabetical order when creating a custom playbook. It is now much easier to find the formations. Kudos!
2. I'm not aware if they've addressed my second issue from my original post. I believe they appear in alphabetical order now (please correct me if I'm mistaken), which helps somewhat, but it would be nice to have them appear in the order I've chosen. For example, my primary formation to build around is, "Shotgun: Spread". If I chose that as my first formation when I created my playbook, I'd like it to be at the top of the formation listing. If I wanted to dabble in, "Shotgun: Ace" as a heavier formation, I'd like it to be down in my formation listing. Currently, they will show up in alphabetical order (Shotgun: Ace will appear before Shotgun: Spread). Minor complaint on my part.
3. They haven't addressed my biggest issue which is play arrangement within formations. They appear as selected. I hate scrolling through formations, especially with 30+ plays within a formation, for a specific play. As it is built, there are plays I often forget about. EA, if you can make it happen, allow us to move plays within formations like NCAA '14! I would love (LOVE) to have my playbook set up how I want.
Inside Zone > PA Pass off of the IZ or RPO > Pass (like a quick pass or screen)
Read Option > PA Pass off of that look or RPO > Pass (like a medium attack like a Shallow Cross)
Triple Option > PA Pass or RPO, Pass (deep like Four Verticals)
or...
Inside Zone > Read Option > Triple Option
Outside Zone > Read Option built off OZ > Triple Option
Quick Pass > Medium Pass > Deep Pass concepts
Something like that!
Can you actually play the downloaded playbooks in dynasty yet? I downloaded the Coach Casey playbook and can’t use it.
Yes and no. I've tried to download his playbook as well to look at it. It shows that it downloads, but it doesn't appear in my files anywhere. However, I was able to download a blank playbook.
Custom playbooks have not been good since ncaa 14. Over a decade without the ability to organize.
