Custom Playbook Formation Ordering

I wanted to know if anyone else has noticed this very annoying issue regarding Custom Playbooks.

I haven't used a stock offensive playbook in years now but I always stayed faithful to the way a stock playbook was ordered:

Offense, for example:

  • Singleback
  • I-Form
  • Strong/Weak
  • Pistol
  • Shotgun
  • Goal Line
  • Special Teams

But when you create a playbook, that generally goes completely out the window.

It used to be relatively easy to finagle custom books to where you could keep the order if you were neurodivergent enough to spend the extra time on it, but since M26, that seems to either not be the case anymore, or maybe I've just lost it 😕

With that said, how much trouble would it be to give us the option to order formations?

Better yet, why stop there, let us order sub-formations since those also are in no particular order when you make a custom book, or even just keep them always alphabetized at least, something.

I almost forgot to mention, this problem gets worse when you include franchise mode's weekly playsheets and the formations/plays those add. So yeah, giving us a little more control there would be nice.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

    No problem, it is the little things that drive me the most crazy. I just wish the people who made this game cared about the little things, but they don't even care about the big issues.

    Appreciate you reading! It's a simple but major QoL upgrade IMO.

    Well saidDJazzyJefff23​ I also use custom playbooks and Hail Mary is the top formation. It’s so annoying. Your order is perfect
