Question re: Custom Playbook Base Names

[WipeOut464]

So when you pick a playbook to use as your base, it comes with an attached "style" type (Northwestern - spread, GT - option, Georgia - pro, etc.). My question is what happens when you change the play style off of the base name?

Example: I'm planning on taking Florida's playbook because it has the most diverse Goal Line set. But if I clear out all the formations & plays and completely rebuild it as a Power Running playbook from the ground up, am I stuck with the "Spread" tag still?

NOTE: I well aware that this isn't a world-shattering deal breaker. I'm sure I'll remember what kind of playbook it is since I'm both building it and naming it. And I'm sure the playbuilder feature is gonna rock. But all the same, it'd be nice if it was accurately reflected in the style type.

I don't think you can change the "Style" tag. It's one of the few negatives with Custom Playbooks.

what about smashmouth style ?

I'm pretty sure you get to name your playbook after you edit it. I might be thinking of the Madden 12 video but it would only make sense. Otherwise how could a user have multiple playbooks saved to your HD? You probably get to name it whatever you want so you could save several playbooks. I just searched the forum for the video I saw it in and nothing came up, so I'm pretty sure it was the Madden custom playbooks video. How else could you distinguish between your other playbooks?

you can name the playbook what ever you want, but you can't change the style "tag", which is what I assume the OP was asking about. so if you use Texas Tech as the base playbook, it will always be "Air Raid".

I thought I remembered in one of the videos ... maybe the one where they show the custom playbooks ... that they showed him saving and renaming it.

I could be wrong though.

the post as taken is talking about the playbook style. Such pro style or spread type. You cant change that, but can change the playbooks name
