Custom Playbooks not showing certain formations and plays

There seems to be a serious issue in CFB 26 with some formations and plays not showing up with my custom created playbook when I go to use it in game. Sometimes only a few, out of all, the plays I’ve selected for a formation will show up, or entire formations will be missing from the playbook.

I made sure I haven’t exceeded the allowed amount of formations, sets, plays in set or play count. Even when I go in and un-add then re-add certain plays they won’t show up. It’s gotten pretty frustrating when I’m trying to audible to a certain play or find one for a specific situation and it won’t show up when I know I’ve added it/set the audible for that play in the formation. In addition I can’t set my favorites because half of those plays won’t show up.

 I even went into my custom playbook and took out about 150 plays and 10 sets to see if over crowding the playbook was the issue and even with this, formations and plays wouldn’t show up. I’ve tried about everything possible at this point but it’s definitely a big issue affecting gameplay. Hopefully EA fixes this since it literally affects every play ran which is about 80-90% of gameplay.

    I am having the same issue. Been trying to figure out how many plays /formations I can have  before it starts taking them away.

    I am having the same problem. Missing 1 formation from the Singleback set and about 8 from the Shotgun set. I noticed this issue within the last 48 hours.

  • I have also noticed when creating custom playbooks, that the usage counter for some plays, (single plays within a playbook; like Singleback/Spread/outside zone) will say “zero” times used. When you have used it a few times each game. 

    Big Nickel “Over” shows zero for every play, regardless how many times you use them. 

    i-formation wing will not register any play either. 

    So this throws off the percentages, of how many times you use each playbook. 

    and some may say this is an OCD thing, but it appears to effect what defense the computer AI will call, as it doesn’t seem to think you have called many running plays, or used Nickel very much.

  • also have this issue.  plays and sets will not show up in practice or in game but I go and check my custom playbook and they are selected

  • Facts bro this is so annoying. I’ve been adding and removing sets to see why I’m not getting all formations in game…. It’s lowkey irritating

    EA, do you guys plan on fixing this issue with Coach suggestions and custom playbook? Many people continue to have this issue and have said something about but you continue to ignore it. Calling plays is a key part of this game and with such a big issue it’s grown tiresome. It’s been almost 3 months since the game released. There’s been other updates yet. Nothing is done about this. what’s going on?
