In previous iterations of EA NCAA Football we could use custom playbooks in online play.
So what’s changed??????????
If anything allow us to use Custom Playbook in unranked play.

Just please give us the bare minimum. That is to say, give us the same features we had in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, etc,etc, etc.

EA,
I am disappointed. I did not upgrade to madden 24 because TB12 was not on Regs for my brother with Tampa. We play online head to head, madden 21, 22, 23. We both decided to upgrade our systems and get the latest Madden football games this year. Additionally purchased the college football game, i had to upgrade just to play the CFB. We had our last Madden 23 bout around release of Madden NFL 25. Needless to say the custom playbooks and normal regs playbooks do not port over. We spent hours upon hours on creation of playbooks, audibles, coaching suggestions for both defense and offense before attempting to play a game. My brother spent $$$ on system, advanced controllers, sound system, etc... but says he will wait to play again whenever custom playbooks is added to online games. Each teams playbook is very limiting. Question? Are custom playbooks coming to online or should I start looking at selling my equipment and games to others that may enjoy this more? Sad days for EA.
