Exactly what changed in the playbooks after the update?

Aside from split backs being put in, I can't see any significant changes in the playbooks. There's still not nearly enough Jet sweeps, no RPOs, and plenty of old formations and plays that are gone. What did we gain here?

Wasn't part of this in the update just to introduce this feature as something that will be a part of future updates? I think this was just to get the ball rolling.

The last 2 playbooks I created I have used NE playbook and haven't had that issue.

The split backs is in the west coast and balance playbooks.

Its no bug, EA has taken away certain formations for the last 2 -3 years. As for what reason I don't know. We used to be able to use every formation in the game when making a custom playbook.

Those certain formations are ones exclusive to the non-team books. There are also plays unique to the non-team books within formations which are not exclusive, and those also cannot be added to a custom playbook.

For example, the HB Pitch out of SB Doubles North is only available in the West Coast Book. As a result it cannot be added to a custom book.

Someone please lobby to get these plays added as selectable for customs. There are several and some schemes can't be replicated because of it.
