There are potentially several different areas this thread can go in, so if one of the Mod's feels it necessary to move it, by all means do so. I have been perusing the 'Net looking for good football play creators and there are several that look really nice. Of course, some of them are extremely expensive. As in $200.00 or more.
However, an idea struck me that could absolutely revolutionize NCAA Custom Playbooks. If this feature jacked the price up for NCAA 13, to say, $69.99, I would be perfectly fine w/ it. Here's the idea...
EA provides a site that uses the Play Editor tool. Offense, Defense, ST's... everything one could want. Then we use the site, via the Web like Team Builder, build and name our own plays and then download them to the game once the game is released.
Of course, the software would have to be programmed to only allow legal plays... I am not wanting/hoping/trying to open a door for cheesers... but this would be a fantastic tool for all the people who want to truly have their own offense/defense.
If you thought Team Builder was a success... how huge do you think this would be? What would also be nice, and I have yet to find a site that has this feature, but what would be nice is if we could diagram a play and then choose a base defense to lay over the offensive play. So we could choose Cover 2 and see how our play would look/work against that coverage and if you want/need, at that point edit a receiver to have an Option route that would work against the Cover 2, or change the route{s} altogether. Then move onto Cover 3 and so on...
I haven't needed any plays to lay over the ones I have been working on, as I know what the defense will do and how to attack it, but there are a plethora of defenses in the game as well as new plays, some of which we haven't even seen yet.
Having this option - create a play, name it, see it in action against any and all defenses, would be an absolute football junkies dream come true. And I believe that if EA can host and handle all the teams in Team Builder, then a site dedicated to Custom Playbook Editor should be something they could handle as well.
One nice thing that I feel would be a must... once we download our playbook{s} to our console, they should be there until we delete them, that way, when/if the EA servers go down, we still have access to our playbooks.
Just think of that... create your plays... give them whatever name/terminology that you want, save them to a playbook that you name as well... Any other ideas on how something like this could work? I believe w/ so much ability w/ technology today, this should be the wave of the {hopefully very near} future.
