    Marking as solution only for visibility. We are currently working on gathering more information from these reports. 

    Hi everyone, 

    For those of you who are still running into this, would you mind sharing a bit more info so we can pass it along? 

    • Which game modes is this happening in? Does it happen in one mode in particular, or is it any game mode where you're using a custom playbook? 
    • Which team(s) are you using when this happens?
    • If it's happening in Dynasty, what custom coach archetype are you using? 
    • Can you think of any other notable settings or customizations that you have enabled?


    Thank you!

    Every game mode.

    Every team.

    Every archetype.

    Doesn’t matter what settings are used.

    In short yes, yes, yes, and yes. All game modes, all teams, all coach archetypes, and doesn't matter the settings. If it matters or helps at all It also doesn't work in Madden for the first time since it was introduced. Another community manager had responded to a thread similar to this and he acted like they were working on it. Your response doesn't seem like that's the case. We're approaching 2 months since release...

    It literally happens in every single mode.

    Setting doesn't matter.

    And cherry on top, it's happening in Madden 26 as well.

      Actually even worse on madden because if you save plays to your favorites because this feature does not work.....it will duplicate those plays and eventually freeze the game when you click on favorites. I saved 200 plays in favorites then it jumps to saying 8000 plays...all duplicates...then it freezes the game when you click on the favorites tab.....absolutely unbelievable!!! Those of us who got the bundle for $150 got SCREWED!!! 2-3 MONTHS LATER AND STILL NO FIX. However they found the time to add LOGOS TO BACK PLATES!!!!! Fix the actual game bugs 1st otherwise nobody cares about the freaking gear you added!!!!

    Thanks for reaching out. Is the team aware of this issue? Here is some additional information if you need it; we want to be a part of the solution and get this fixed! 

    As far as I can tell, this is happening in every game mode and every team when played with. I tested making other custom playbooks based off of multiple "base" playbooks and the same issue presents itself every time. 

    The issue still presents itself regardless of coach archetype selected. The only setting that I have changed that impacts this is setting the custom playbook as the default playbook in the main settings: Settings > Game Options > Offensive/ Defensive Playbook. 

    The system is correctly adding in your desired play calls for each situation, but it displays them in coach suggestions in the same order every time: regardless of the amount of plays you have in each situation, or the "star"/ 0-100 point scale you give each play. In CFB 2025, you could select 100 plays for 1st down and give them the same rating, and the coach suggestions would be randomized, unless you increased the value of the "star" rating. 

    One thing I noticed as well, is that if you have multiple formations for each situation, it will display them usually in order of formations, not randomized. For example, if I have 3 plays from the Pistol Formation and 20 plays from the Shotgun Formation, the first 3 plays shown in coach suggestions will ALWAYS be the plays from the Pistol Formation. 

    Let me know if I can provide more information, appreciate you checking in!
