From the way I understood the explanation, what you describe should work. However, if you were to add a formation to this playbook - say you really like I-Form but the Jets playbook didn't have it for some reason - you won't be able to set any formation subs for I-Form because you're using the Jets' playbook as your base, and the Jets' playbook is what the formation subs UI sees.

I defer to Mr. Price for confirmation, however.

Just tested this, it does work. I added all 23 plays to the Jets Pistol Slot formation in my CPB. Went into CFM subbed in every 2nd string player. Then went into practice mode and a regular season game and sure enough everyone in that formation was my 2nd string players that I subbed in. Nice find for the workaround Mr. Price.

no DT at TE sorry JJ Watt - but finally this looks great!!!

Does this mean no Wildcat formations? No RB/WR at QB ? Current NFL you have more WR that were former QB that could be subbed in for a trick play here and there, just off the top of my head you have Pryor, B.Miller, Edelman etc that could go to QB with no problems but I guess we can't ..
Also the QB would need to lineup outside at WR to complete the deception but seems that's restricted too ...

Can't sub a SS into the LB position in Nickel either, like the 1-4-6 Big Dime had last year. It's missing from this year's 4-3 defense books and you can't even create it now. Useless.

Question - is there a way to sub for kickoff and kickoff returns? I can't find kickoffs on the special teams list.

Also, is there a way to get a custom playbook as my "scheme" so I can edit the plays I use instead of a scheme I don't use?

No formation subs for Kickoffs/KO Returns.

Why can we not sub WR in at HB? And stuff like Watt at TE, CB at WR for a guy like Peterson. Give us NCAA depth charts, I want to be able to play anybody anywhere.
