no...not at this time.
your playbook is associated with your user profile.

This is about you the user being able to create whatever offense you want instead of having to settle for something that is the closest to what you want to do. This feature is long over due. I guess the Air Force playbook is unrealistic since it has shotgun, i form and flexbone in it hahaahahaha

Not at all. That is 3 formations. With this though you could create a playbooks that has a dozen vastly different formations (not just different versions of a formation like shotgun big, trips, 4 wide, etc) like shotgun, i form, flexbone, wishbone, pistol, ace, pro set, strong i, etc...

I'm not arguing that one way is better than the other, I'm just saying for my opinion I like the game to try to stay as true to real college football as possible, and it would be nice if there was some sort of penalty for getting unrealistic with crazy playbooks... not eliminate the opportunity to create them, but add a negative effect for doing it. It would add some strategy to it.

This is a major announcement and some folks are more concerned about what type of playbook the next guy will have instead of focusing on their own playbook. I don't understand that, lol...

[rollinphat]

just for discussions sake...
I think it would cool if your playbook was tied to your QB's awareness rating.
The higher your QB's awareness rating is the more formations and plays you could have in your playbook.

Same for the MLB on defense.

I don't understand what is so unrealistic about that. Every team in America has vastly different formations in their playbook. And personally, the only two formations that seem really out of the ordinary are the flex and wishbone- you could find the rest in the playbook of any pro-I team in America. The only teams that you don't see all those sets from are spread teams and even they have those sets in their playbook, they just aren't used often (if at all).

Actually Air Force has 4 types of formations, Ace, I, Flex, Shotgun and it's one of the most diverse playbooks in the game. The only one (that I can think of) that's more diverse is Utah State with Ace, Flex, I, Pistol, SG, Wishbone.

I know I love the Pistol Offense and can't wait to make a playbook with all the pistol formations in it!!!! Plus i really want to try out the new pistol formations such as full house and the train formations!!!

I probably wont even need over 5-7 formations for each playbook. I will try to have a diverse run playbook. But I will have a lot of plays.
