    Hi everyone, 

    Just wanted to drop in and hopefully answer some of your questions around Custom Playbooks. 

    With the updates to the playbook tool we're using in Madden NFL 25, Custom Playbooks are not available in Online Head to Head or Play a Friend at launch. From the Gameplay Deep Dive over on the Gridiron Notes:

    With this tech update and new design to Online Head-to-Head, Custom Playbooks will NOT be available in Online Head-to-Head (Regs) or Play-a-Friend (PAF) at launch this year. The future release of ‘Saving Custom Audibles’ will be coming to Madden NFL 25 post-launch, allowing players similar capability that is more authentic to NFL Team Playbooks. Yes Madden gamers, you read that right - we are planning to add the ability to save custom audibles that will carry-over from game to game in an early title update. There will be more details about this long-requested feature when it is closer to completion.  As always, Madden NFL 25 is consistently updated during the season and the team is monitoring the mode and meta around playbooks and potential custom playbook return.

    Hopefully that helps to clarify what's happening with the playbooks. We've seen your feedback on this, and we'll continue passing along your thoughts. 

    Thanks for taking the time to post here on the forums!

Yeah no more custom playbooks in H2H regs.  Worst change of the year by far.

    Can you give valid reasons why?  The only reason i see people not liking this is because they cant load their playbooks with nothing but cheese and money plays.

      All coaches use their own playbook, be it cheesy or not, it's a game, why take the fun out of it?

      @nike23osu Be it cheesy or not, all coaches use their own playbooks. All plays can be stopped so to cry about that is self explanatory. It's a game, why take the fun out of it?

        Fun for who? I haven’t cried just pointed out the biggest reason why it isn’t allowed.  It certainly isn’t fun for the person playing against an unrealistic playbook full of meta plays.  Tbh I don’t play H2H because no one plays a real game of football so I could care less. It’s fun isn’t really a valid reason as that’s subjective to opinion.

      @nike23osu 100% agreed,in 2024 i played a few guys that actually had special plays and their players disappeared from screen only to show up in the end zone with a TD
