Custom Playbooks Not Working

Your not alone....same thing here. Using a custom playbook for me is a huge part of the game. It released yesterday and I spent most of the entire day painfully going through and putting in new plays and going through gameplan star ratings for the plays. Probably like 3-4 hrs. Only for the same hand full of plays over and over again. INSAINELY frustrating. Im experiencing the same bug though. Hopefully will get patched SOONER than later. FYI something I'm doing in the meantime to somewhat make it usable is keeping my handful of plays for down situations and adding ones that won't show up in game as favorites. Between the custom plays that are there and all the ones I have added as favorites makes it somewhat playable. Hope this helps. 

Yep, I’m planning on just adding a bunch as favorites and using that as a playbook until it’s fixed. You and I are in the same boat; spent about 2.5-3 hours yesterday setting up all the plays. 

Same problem here. Setting your coach suggestions is such a great feature when it actually works. 

Im having the same issue. Not just that though, half of my plays in the book are not showing up in game. Even to be selected by formation

For example, my book has  9 Pistol sets with 56 plays between them. But in game and practice it shows I only have 2 Pistol Sets with a total of 9 plays between them 

Same problem here. Setting your coach suggestions is such a great feature when it actually works. 

It's a painful process rating all your plays(I, do only pass plays) but it's so worth it in the end. It's such a game changer. 

Really, really hoping this is a first patch fix. Anything else and this is imo an absolute disaster for EA once you consider how many hours folks have already spent with the expectation of using Coach Suggestions. Hoping for the best.

For those looking, this issue seems to be still ongoing despite the recent patch. I’ll continue to adjust and test as I can, but it needs to be fixed ASAP. Super frustrating :(
