You sure about that playbook comment? there are tons of youtube strategy guides out there that already share there cheese plays. It's going to be so many channels promoting there playbooks it's going to be crazy.

Yes this is a long over due feature congrats but I refuse to look at just the positives and not the negatives that can ruin my gaming experience. I strictly play online and I hear people saying just don't join a league that accept custom playbook. That sounds all fine and great but I like to play rank games during down times in the online leagues. This feature is going to make the cheese even more worst. Hopefully the OS community group can last longer then 3 months this time around.

I do like the slider feature and roster share I know the great minds on this website is going to put some work in with those two features.

Well, actually, I can see the greatness in it if you're an offline gamer, but for an online league type of guy like myself, there are a lot of red flags going off. Like other posters have said, leagues will have to ban custom playbooks to prevent cheese playbooks. Contrary to what some of you think, in most leagues, you can't just call someone a cheeser and have them booted. It's your word vs his and since no one else saw the game(unless someone recorded it) it's up to the commish to decide. You see most of the time, they're not cheesing every play of every game like lobby guys. It can take weeks sometimes before you can weed out a cheeser and that was before they could get their hands on the greatest cheese playbook of all time ........ with no effort at all. I've been commishing leagues since 09 and I can tell you, if I was still doing it this year, I would turn custom playbooks off. It has to be an option. There's already too much of a headache trying to weed those guys out as it is. Outside of the cheese playbook sharing issue that I have with this, everything else is cool. I really hope that people figure out some way to edit the NCAA draft classes so that they fall more in line with FBG's ratings. I've used them in offline playnow games before, but never in a season because of the draft classes. I'm really hoping I can finally do a franchise with them and edited NCAA draft classes or better yet find a league that's using them. Everything else is pretty much just a convenience to save time. Instead of having to spend time changing sliders while I'm searching for a good set, I can just download them. One thing I'm finding confusing is why everyone is getting excited about setting playbooks for cpu teams. Last time I checked, you couldn't load a custom playbook for the cpu team. The custom playbook was attached to YOUR profile. Unless EA has drastically changed CFM, I don't see how that will be possible. You guys might want to get verification from someone before assuming that you will be able to set it to a cpu team. This is still EA we're talking about here. Overall, I'm quite intrigued to see how much better this Madden share will make Madden this year. I'm definitely looking forward to finally being able to do some things that I didn't have time to do before, but I'm also weary about the potential pitfalls this feature might bring to a gamer like me.

People don't understand the headache and back and forth that happens when somebody get's called out for cheating in leagues. First it have to happen to multiple people, if there is no video evidence which is hard now because madden took out highlights at the end of the game when you can see every play ran, and then you have to wait on the commish to make a decision. It's not as easy as y'all make it out to be. Pretty much this guy said it all.

We need some clarification on whether we can set them up as a Team Default.. and does it apply to D-Playbooks too? Because it would be nice if in the offseason a team switches from the 3-4 to the 4-3

I love it. Don't see how some can have a problem with it when it just adds MORE possibility and saves a crap load of time. Good job EA.

I'm curious to see if you could replace players faces with gameface for players with Generic faces. Could be huge for someone to do that

Finally I was just asking one of my fellow gamers why isn't this in EA products. It works fairly well with NBA 2K. So you would have to assume EA can accomplish similar results.
