Custom Playbook 4 Minute Situation glitch/Coach's Suggestion NEED HELP!!!

Product: Madden NFL 22
Platform:PlayStation 5
Which console generation do you have? Sony PlayStation 5
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? LeadYokin
Date/time issue occurred The past 3 months
What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
Which mode has this happened in? Franchise Mode
Which part of the mode? Offline
What is your Franchise League Name? N/A
Summarize your bug I created a custom playbook from scratch. I input the playbook in my games and everything works fine until i'm behind, or in a 2 minute drill. The game will make all of my coach's suggestions the exact same play (stick). I play a GM slow sim franchise so this is NOT OKAY. It's literally impossible for my team to ever come back and ruins the entire thing. SOMETIMES (not always) after I call 2 or 3 timeouts it will fix itself, but I shouldn't have to waste all of my timeouts in a 2 minute drill just for my playbook to MAYBE function like it's supposed too. After so many hours wasted creating it I decided to create another new one from scratch and low and behold the same issue! Except, this time the only play that shows up is "494 F Flat". This issue persists with every game mode I've tried (play now, cloud and offline franchises). I NEED help because the slow sim franchise is my favorite thing I've ever done on Madden and it's literally unplayable with this glitch.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know. It's happened to both custom playbooks I've created.
What happens when the bug occurs? My playbook coach's suggestions only shows one play so my sim team just runs the same play over and over again.
What do you expect to see? All of my 2 minute drill plays I chose and put in the situation part for 2 minute drill in my playbook.

Defense playbooks are also bugged where they don't save plays for the situations wildcat, bunch, empty, or overload.

If you tab over to Formation and back over to suggested plays does that help fix it?

Unfortunately no it doesn't. The main thing I do though is slow sim franchises so I watch the games so even if that would work it would still sadly not help my case as the CPU calls the plays from my playbook. @EA_Blueberry

@EA_Blueberry the only thing that "works" for that specific short time scenario is finding a playbook that you like enough and making sure you dont remove any of the plays for that scenario. Similar thing happens with defense playbooks as I mentioned earlier in this post. The difference with the defense playbooks is you do have the ability to change the plays for the situation but there is a bug that will not save the plays.

I am not sure if that is actually considered a bug and more of a feature request. Majority of players will play their games and this is likely a feature that was not considered.

We can let the team that's something you'd like them to consider adding if they're able to squeeze it in for a future game.

What do you mean by a feature? It happens no matter what even if I play normally, it doesn't have to do with the slow sim franchise, it happens on every game mode even if I'm playing myself. The bottom line is custom playbooks are glitched as they do not show correct coach's suggestions plays during "2/4 minute offense" situation no matter what game mode you're playing. @EA_Blueberry

Understood. For a human game that aligns more of being a bug, this has been passed along.
