Custom Playbook - I Form

[jmcbryde]

Does custom playbook work correctly now? I lost mine after one of the patches and I'm finally getting around to making a new one. The one I'm trying to create is based on Pitt which has the I Form Tight formation that I use a lot. However, the I Form Tight formation is not in the list of available formations for me to choose from. Is there an issue with some formations missing when trying to create a new playbook? I created a Defensive playbook based on the 4-2-5 and didn't notice anything different than before. Any help is appreciated.

It's apparently a locked formations for certain base playbooks now, for example, TCU's.

I don't understand why they would do something like that. The playbook needs to be totally open. No locked formations whatsoever. It should start off as use a template or start with blank playbook. Pick a goal line formation or not then pick what you want from there. We also should be able to pick order of formations and sets. Then we should be able to pick our own formation audibles.

And we should be able to get rid of all the formations we don't want. *cough* Shotgun-Y Trips *Cough*

I assume it's to allow them to be used online, but I really don't know.

one thing I hate the most is that you can't use the custom playbook in practice mode that is inside of OD. It'll always use whatever playbook you selected when you created your coach.

I hate that too but I think it uses ur team default. I'm almost positive because in my OD I get Baylor's default playbook and not VaTech's whose I could still use.

Funny thing is I use all my "stuck" formations except Shotgun Spread
