Custom Playbooks = Online Cheesing

[buckeye02]

Im afraid thats what it would come down too. Dont know if youre even allowed your custom PB online or not. (hoping not)

This feature does nothing for me really, but i understand it was heavily wanted by many NCAA Football franchise buyers. Im happy for the people that got the ask and you shall receive treatment. Worked for me with dreads.

I am personally very excited for Custom Playbooks. And judging from the poll on this board, 56% of people rarely, if ever, play on-line. I play my dynasty off-line because that's the most fun for me. And I'm also happy that EA is listening and responding to the community!

Thankfully, I don't play online and I can see the concern, but I don't know if this facilitates cheesing too much. From what I've gathered, most cheerers who'd abuse custom playbooks probably only use a handful of plays as of now anyway. If a persons going to cheese with 3 cheap plays, I don't know if it's going to make their cheesing any worse than it already is. A cheap player is a cheap player regardless of the playbook.

I as well dont play online ever either. Its not that using the same play over and over again thats the cheesing part. Its using a formation that will be "unstopable". Probably an illegal formation at that.

If EA listened to customers as much as you think than one would figure they would fix issues that has haunted the franchise since the next gen consoles came out.

You're not confusing Custom playbooks with creating plays are you? Otherwise I'm not sure how illegal formations could possibly be in the game.

Im thinking you can move WR's and RB's anywhere you want. Kinda like what Madden used to have. I guess no one knows for sure how they will work.

Are you saying that custom playbooks are just a handful of formations and plays that are already in the game?

Yes, that's exactly what it is. Up to 40 formations and 377 plays per playbook.

Edit: Ok I lied. It depends on what system ur running. Ie Spread, Option, Pro
