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

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.

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 

Thank you. I hope it really gets looked into because I know a LOT of people are dealing with it. @EA_Blueberry 

I also have more information you could pass along - I have been troubleshooting why this issue would happen so it can try and be learned more about and be fixed, in the cases it happens I've taken a playbook and removed almost all of the plays and created it almost from scratch.

To test, I just now started a new playbook based off the Falcons and only added in like ~5 plays and threw them into a situation and deleted a handful of plays from the playbook and the glitch did NOT occur. Hope this can help maybe narrow down what could be causing the issue. @EA_Blueberry 

@LeadYoked I'm pretty sure you can delete all the plays from the situations that are unwanted but you just can't remove them from the playbook entirely because that is a short time situation that is hidden from us in the playbooks. It sucks that we can't be shown our own offensive plays and that the cpu won't run them in sim but it's a better alternative than having plays forced upon you in every situation.

@EA_Blueberry regarding the defensive playbooks the bug seems to be coming from the plays in nickel situation overwriting plays in the wildcat, bunch, empty, and overload situations. This isn't only an issue in custom playbooks, if you go into any playbook without editing right now you will see that all of the defensive situations I mentioned have the exact same plays and rating for each play. 

@Briar_Thompson I'm not sure what you're talking about. The issue I'm having is during a 2 minute offense or when behind late situation instead of showing the 2 minute offense or any other coach's suggestions plays it only shows one play. The glitch only fixes if you call timeouts. I'm pretty sure we're having different issues and I don't want to confuse @EA_Blueberry , so could you make a separate thread please.

@LeadYoked they are different issues but both have to do with playbooks and situations in the playbooks not working correctly. The bug you are talking about isn't isolated to hurry up, It just happens in custom playbooks that have had all plays cleaned and new ones added. This is because there is no short time situation until you get to two minutes, there is no 4 minute situation you can change in the playbooks so when you delete all the plays from the playbook it forces that one play in the hidden scenario on you. You can verify this by doing what I suggested earlier but as I said it's not a fix because you can't add your own custom plays, it's just a workaround so that you will have more than one play.

@LeadYoked I didn't add this because I didn't want to make you feel like you didn't know what you were talking about but I figure I should so that the

 issue can be fixed. The issue isn't hurry up at all, it literally has nothing to do with it and you'll be sending them on a wild goose chase until they figure out the real problem. The issue is solely the scenarios, scenarios are just your suggested plays that are shown without actually having to open up your playbook and since hurry up only shows you suggested plays that's why you are seeing one play. If you wouldn't have cleaned all of the plays from your custom playbook there would be more than one play, if the Madden team didn't hide those scenarios for whatever reason you could add your own plays to that scenario and you'd see more than one play. 

The only time the glitch has happened is during the 4 minute situation, I didn't say it had to do with hurry-up. I mentioned that at my very first post, but changed it after. I understand what you're saying now though. So I guess it's technically not a glitch, but it makes absolutely no sense you can't change the plays in the 4 minute situation, but if you're correct, then it's not even a glitch, it's just horrible design and should be fixed regardless. Thanks for explaining, but this makes zero sense on EA's part. @Briar_Thompson

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.

It's absolutely a bug. I created a new playbook basically from scratch (offense and defense). During any 2 minute drill situation, the coach suggestions only suggest 1 play regardless of how many plays are configured for that situation. It's really annoying because in the situation where you literally need to be faster picking plays, you need to manually search for an appropriate one.
