That would be around April 15, Which would be a good a good date to release something like Custom Playbook.
March and April- Info on Graphics/Art and Audio, New Plays, Small/Medium Features
May and June is usually info on gameplay additions, gameplay vids, RTG and online/offline Dynasty.

I know this probably isn't the best forum for this but I have to ask.....Does anybody else agree that the 3-4 has yet to be correctly portrayed in a video game? And I'm not bashing EA, I LOVE NCAA 11, still playing it, I passed up on MLB2K11 to keep my dynasty going....I just wish I could use the 3-4......I think the devs have a hard time getting the nose tackle interaction right.......I think if they could get that right it would add one more little wrinkle to recruiting too......we all know a 3-4 d-lineman and a 4-3 d lineman are completely different animals...think of Casey Hampton vs. Warren Sapp.....

I think you are right. But I think the real issue is this; defensive schemes are as specific and individual as the offensive playbooks. Is this portrayed? No. There are so many different types of 3-4 schemes, it's really dependent on what you are trying to do. Therefore, without individual playbooks, it's tough to implement something "correctly" because that would be a relative term.

"Cop" is the tag used by TCU, so you should take that up with them.

Razor Bentclaw Stinger

Okie Thunder Lion

More cool play names

Donkey Punch Alpha Niner

Secondly, this looks like a legit play. Of the 4 that they have shown this one is my favorite. The way that DEs actually play these days, I am surprised this was not added far sooner

It's sad it took so long for somebody to point this out. I've coached the 425 defense and love using it in NCAA but my question is Are they fixing the man to man alignment issues with the 425 and 335 defenses this year?

Yeah between zones not working and the man align problems it made the 4-2-5 and the 3-3-5 unplayable.
