If it wasn't for our early feedback last year, it would have been a lot worse. Thankfully a good amount of our suggestions and changes were put in for the playcall last year.

This year, it's much better, it'll just take you a little time to adjust.

Then it's really not a custom playbook then is it? You still have to use the plays that are scripted for the formation, even if they aren't in your playbook.

By default, when you add a formation, you will have all of the plays under that formation checked. From there, you can go in and take out or reorder plays.

So if I only like one play under Ace Spread Flex, I can have only one play under that formation?

I must have missed this somewhere but reordering the plays is a very nice feature

The lowest you can have is 1 play. The highest you can have is all of the plays available in that formation.

I'm working on getting clarification as to what happens when you add/remove plays that are formation audibles. As well, if you only have four plays in that formation, what happens to the audibles? I'll let you know what kind of response I get.

At least they had enough sense to make them available online as well. Really sweet addition and one I've been waiting for for years. Nice job, EA.

Yep basically you press and hold down :360a: or :ps3x: and then arrow up, down, left, or right as your pressing down :360a: or :ps3x: to re-order the plays as you wish.

By this do you mean package subs or formation subs? Package subs should be yes (meaning you'll still have all of the same package subs that you have now), formation subs I believe is no but I'm not positive on that one.

Yes. You will still be able to used the linked plays, obviously so long as both plays are in that formation.

Actually I didn't even think about formation subs. That's a little "odd" that you wouldn't be able to use formation subs after you created a custom playbook.

I was simply referring to the packages where you can go "big" in ace bunch for example (I cannot recall the exact terminology) or in some cases a HB or CB package for the 5th WR in 5 wide sets.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were asking. Yes, you can certianly use formation subs. I thought you were asking was if you customized your formation subs for the default Duke playbook, then created a new playbook based off of Duke, would it carry over your formation subs that you made to the default. The answer to that is no. BUT, yes you can certain use formation subs with your custom playbook.

I know the goal line formation is locked, but can you choose which goal line formation to use? in NCAA 11 there were about 2 or 3 different goal line formations(tight, normal, power I, etc..).

No. The only way to choose which goalline formation you wish to use would be to start with that team's base playbook (ie start with Florida to get the Wishbone goalline).

O.K. we are on the same page now.

Just to make sure:

If I take Duke's playbook and they have Ace Bunch with a "Big" Package (that puts a 2nd TE and I think FB) in instead of WR in the bunch that "Package" will also be available to me in my Custom Playbook?

Yes, the package subs are universal to that formation so those will carry over when you add that formation to your playbook.
