Plays Not Populating in Custom Playbooks PS5
Hello,
I believe I’ve identified a bug in College Football 26 on PlayStation, likely introduced with the most recent update. Prior to the update, I was able to create custom playbooks and freely add or remove plays. That functionality now appears to be broken.
Issue Overview:
I’ve tested this across multiple school playbooks, but for reference, I’m currently using Coastal Carolina, which has a default play count of 436.
Here’s what I’m consistently seeing:
- When navigating to “All Plays” and manually selecting 13 out of 14 plays from a formation (e.g., I Formation Close), the play count only increases by 4.
- In “My Playbook,” only 4 of the selected plays appear.
- Returning to “All Plays” shows that most of the previously selected plays are now unchecked. Reselecting them doesn’t resolve the issue—only the same 4 plays consistently carry over.
- This issue affects multiple formations. In some cases, only 1 play transfers over. The behavior is consistent and reproducible.
Workaround Observed:
- If I press Triangle to “Select All” in a formation, the play count increases correctly (e.g., by 14), and all plays appear in “My Playbook.”
- However, this method isn’t viable for building a true custom playbook—especially with shotgun formations—due to the 500-play limit and difficulty tracking selected plays.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
- Tested with multiple school playbooks
- Deleted all contents within selected playbooks
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the game
- Cleared all game data
None of these steps resolved the issue.
Additional Context:
I’ve shared this issue with other users in my dynasty. They’re on Xbox and do not appear to be experiencing the same problem. They also couldn’t identify a workaround or solution for my current issue.
I’ve recorded the process and can provide a video if helpful for your investigation. Hoping this can be addressed soon so custom playbook creation functions as intended again.
Thank you,
BONES
