I did go back through Deep Dive and it does say schools have scheme preferences which are used in building a coaching "score" which determines which schools offer which coaches jobs. I haven't seen if it impacts anything else, but my guess is this means we won't be able to change the school scheme unfortunately.
Hopefully we can get confirmation if the scheme has other impacts in recruiting. My guess is it impacts recommended recruits but that the recruits care about your actual play style which is statistically based.
However your statistics could be impacted if you sim some of your games as our league group does. In Madden the understanding was non matching playbooks to your scheme had a negative performance in simulation due to it only using scheme matching plays from your playbook. IE an triple option playbook tied to a spread scheme would perform poorly on avg. Also this could shift your playing style stats from passing to run or visa versa impacting recruiting.
Hopefully EA can give us some insight onto this so we can at least play accordingly if we won't be allowed to define our schools scheme once we become a coach there.
