When creating a custom playbook, the "Coach Suggestions" section in-game always present the same pool of plays, regardless of your star ratings/selections in the "My Gameplan" section in the custom playbook menu.
Obviously, spending lots of time on creating a custom playbook with unique ratings for the coach suggestions, and then for it not to work is quite frustrating. Let me know if I can provide any more details!
I've tried raising and lowering the adjustments, even going as far as having several plays at "100" or "5 stars" and the same 15 plays appear for each situation (1st down, 2 & long, etc.).
Seems like others are having this issue too. I’ll continue testing and trying things out, but this definitely seems like a bug/issue.
Update 8/6/25 — Still no fix.
Big title update today, got excited because I saw in the notes for the patch that they would be fixing something that caused the same play to show up twice on coach suggestions.
Was hoping this would be help this custom playbook issue…. Nope. Not at all.
still the same few plays suggested over and over no matter the ratings. So frustrating.
with the coach suggestions you can get to the line and make checks so much faster. Without it you get to the line later and then if you try and audible late you’re almost guaranteed to false start. Not to mention the rhythm aspect or just getting a better variety.
