Franchise Custom Playbooks

There is no reason why I shouldn’t be able to make a custom playbook, and then use that playbook for formation subs. When you pull up the coaches screen it only gives you access to use current playbooks. Therefore even if you use your own personal custom playbook in the games for franchise, you still can’t add in your own formation subs. Needs to be fixed, as it’s been a problem for years now.

  • @Austincole18 I'm pretty sure it would be extremely hard if at all possible for them to implement that feature my guy. Because there's no way for the game to recognize what formations and sets your using. It would litteraly just have to be an interface that allows you to adjust subs for every single formation and set in the game on both offense and defense. And that I think never happens.

    It’s been done in the past. The old NCAA games use to have a limit of 50 formation subs you were allowed. Obviously I wouldn’t have every single formation in my playbook. But if I want to run every single play from shotgun in franchise, I’m not able to do that because none of the current playbooks have that. All they have to do is when you’re creating your coach at the beginning of franchise, allow our custom playbook to be an option. Might as well even have the default playbooks (Run’N’Gun, Multiple, Spread, Etc.) as options to select as well.

  • @Austincole18 I believe you can create custom playbook and then set it in your user settings and it's used at every Franchise game. I have an online franchise going and created my own custom playbook. I don't have to change it every game.

    I might not be understanding what your issue is though. ☹️
  • @Austincole18 I put it in the suggestions last year, it should be common sense but I’m guessing it’s a specific problem that not enough of us make noise about. I couldn’t agree more though, whatever formation subs you do make from the preset selections will affect your custom playbook. I usually do this for defense I have 4-3 position designations and I like to add some 3-4 formations or sub formations with standup rushers. So I find a 3-4 playbook in my coaches screen that has the formations I added to my custom playbook and make the subs I need.
