Players come out in punt formation when calling certain plays from custom pbook

Product: Madden NFL 19
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which console generation do you have? PlayStation 4
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? Ph3nom3nalMitchy
Date/time issue occurred Since game release
What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
Which mode has this happened in? Franchise Mode
Which part of the mode? Offline
Summarize your bug Everytime I call certain plays from a custom playbooks the players come out in punt formation
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a custom playbook using shotgun formations check every shotgun formation then select play from suggestions in game and you’ll find the bug eventually. There are a lot of bugged plays
What happens when the bug occurs? For example, I create a custom playbook using mostly shotgun formations and in game I use coaching suggestions let’s say I select the play Packers Cross from the suggestions instead of the offense coming out to run that play the punting team comes out and the punting meter comes up.
What do you expect to see? All plays in the game work as advertised. It defeats the fun of custom playbooks if half the plays don’t work.

Players come out in punt formation when calling certain plays from custom playbook

for example:

User creates custom playbook using a lot of different shotgun formations not surpassing the 500 play limit for formation limit

player enters game and uses coaching suggestions to pick a play

instead of the offense coming out to run that called play the punting team comes out set up to punt and the punting meter comes up.

there are a lot of these bugged plays it isn’t just one play. This bug has been in the game since Madden 17

  • Adding to this I have tried things such as reinstalling the game, uploading playbook to servers and re downloading it, resetting playbook by saving it under a different name. None of those “fixes” worked.

    I’m currently still having this problem. I was wondering did you ever receive a response on how to fix this issue?

  • As of now, I still haven’t gotten a response. I refuse to play anymore Madden until this bug is fixed it’s been in the game for atleast the last 3 three madden games. I would credit it to poor game testing. 

  • It happens to me way too often these days. I tried cleaning up my playbook by removing some plays, didn't change a thing. It happened to me a lot with Steelers Cross and pistol screen. Man it's frustrating especially on 1st down....

  • Yea sadly this probably not an priority to them at all. Still this problem to this day. Can't even enjoy watching my franchise games anymore because the computer will make my players punt on 1st down. Very Frustrating.
