I get user lurk now after playing more and misc...

I get user lurk on defense, it's only fair if you know the route coming or sense it. Ability to just sit.  Wouldn't want to mess with someone's stick skills. And with how much an offensive player can cut while in space or head full of steam it's only right. I get it 2 routes come near you and you pump faked on one and come back to the original route you were covering. Even though original post thought it was annoying. Wouldn't want the game to not allow someone to move while usering/decrease change of direction/decrease their stick skills/movement. 

 

After really wanting more freedom with the receivers is also why I say the above. While the ball was in air in 2012 and how you could cut in on a streak or move really hard towards a curl and basically just grab the receivers while ball in air. I really miss that feature. Now it's like you got to wait till a certain point of when the ball is in air or released. You can't cut the way before with the receivers and start going the way you want when the ball is in air. 

Don't let classic passing go, I love it, and I think that should be polished up/tuned up a bit more for 2027. It was really on point 2012. 

 

I'm all for custom playbooks in online ranked games. Road to CFP. I like being able to use different teams and can really find myself when doing so and I like to mix it up with teams. It really helps me judge the players better and team. If I like them just for the plays or how they play. 

 

 I don't see how it could be anymore any of edge now because everyone has to play with the same playbook online. So you can honestly learn what plays someone could call beforehand just by going thru teams playbook before playing online. 

If everyone can use custom playbooks for offense and defense what the problem? 

I like how you could bump your plays from like 180 plays on offense/defense to like 300 plays for online play 2012-2014 w/ custom playbooks.

  • Never add custom playbooks ever again. Everyone is already a clone of the cheesy streamers. Everyone that streams run the cheesiest plays that exploit the AI. We don’t need the viewers mimicking them no more than they already do. 
    LSU —> Double Mug——>5wr 

  • The game is way more fun and you'd have more plays to counter. Plus since the playbook aren't custom I know all your plays. You just don't how to adjust. 

  • A lot of people want custom playbooks. Check YouTube. It was always a feature for online h2h.

  • The other problem is EA shows the exact formation to the defense. It use to only show personnel. So people see it's 6 on 5 lineman so they just blitz on a numbers game. 

    Cover 0 has always been around and a thing. Your just not catching them in it when you are blocking for it. Sounds like you are just playing frustrated just trying to force the same play over and over. You can't block 6 on 5 in 5 WR.

    Problem with this too is since you show the exact formation, it's oh I'm playing Alabama and they only have a handful of plays in some formations. Ok that's popular. I know that now I set the defense play call to the best. 

     

    That's why we need custom playbooks.

     

    There are some other teams I really want to play with but I can't due to the fact of that teams playbook isn't for me. And if the team is a spread offense to begin with my custom playbook is a spread too. That's how most people are with custom playbook. Very rarely you'll see someone get Oregon and run under center in I formation back in day with custom formation. Like 1 in 100 would do that. 

    It's hard to sacrifice your record just to learn a different teams playbook in online. And just hard in general to learn several different playbook to run with a different team.

    RIGHT! The only ppl mad about the playbooks are CHEESERS that would like to add MORE GLITCHY MONEY PLAYS that they’ve witnessed other ppl run. I remember this from the past. It spreads like wild fire. This is why every cheeser uses LSU or Texas online now. Because they’ve watched their favorite streamer run glitchy cheesy plays. No use the team specific playbook and find your own plays. 

    sidenote: EA please remove double mug out of some of these defensive playbooks

    I think he is agreeing to playing as the way the team plays not dismissing custom playbook.
