You're the second person to give me a confirmation/assurance that custom playbooks (for the most part at least if you count quick audibles as a problem) are fixed and working correctly this year. Sounds great!
I played more practice mode last night then actual games just testing my playbook out. I was undecided on if I wanted Wildcat Spread Flex(I think that's what it was, it has the QB playing QB and not the HB), Wishbone Tight, or Maryland I Tight as my de facto goalline package. I couldn't figure out if there were reads with the Wishbone option plays or if I just make a decision pre-play whether to give to the FB or have the QB keep. The Wildcat formation was pretty good. I had some success with it in goalline situations but I eventually settled on the Maryland I Tight with all it's delicious lead blocking.You're the second person to give me a confirmation/assurance that custom playbooks (for the most part at least if you count quick audibles as a problem) are fixed and working correctly this year.

That's another "bug" I found. When editing, the "dark" player w/ dreads was the 6th guy... then the next time... he wasn't. It seems to randomly change. The "light" guy... # 33 had long hair... the next time it was # 1. It just seems totally random and fortunately for me, I'm not a "Dreads Fanatic" but I can see how this is going to piss a lot of people off.
Finally played my first game. Beat Marshall 21-0 with my cupcake TB team. I had fun for the most part. The CPU ran way too many screens and most ended in sacks.
Also, TB teams are showing up in the ticker and I got a studio update and one of my TB teams was part of it.
Okay, thanks a lot.
By reading these comments it just seems like this game is still in beta or something... I feel like one good patch should fix it right up, or at least i hope.
I hope so...and it needs to come quick. I think we all had reasonable expectations based on last year's game. All we really wanted for 13 was the bugs from 12 corrected and some gameplay updates. Somehow EA took a pretty big step backwards.
I'll put it this way. Once they patch the defense, this game will be VERY fun. I like the changes they made, it's just that defense is horribly broken. People said I was crazy when I said that NCAA 08 is the best next Gen version. After playing '13, NCAA 08 IMO is still the best because it's the only balanced version that we've had to this day that wasn't broken out of the box.
WHAT?!??
Yep...right after the first play got a studio update showing the final score between Iowa and Douglass (TB team). Then those same two teams showed up in the ticker.
I know for sure the CPU runs the options the same way in the demo. Something even weirder that would happen - the QB would cut up and the RB would sometimes stop and run the opposite way, THEN the QB pitches it almost directly behind himself to the RB. Ends up in like a huge loss. It almost looks something like a reverse or trick play lol.
Yep... saw that same exact scenario several times this past week as well.I know for sure the CPU runs the options the same way in the demo.

So I'll ask, is this game worth $45?
Maybe the potential is worth $45 but as it stands today, my personal opinion is no. I think a really good patch could make this an awesome game but we'll have to wait and see on that.
I'm playing RTG now as an option QB. My RB got tackled on the 1-yd line. The next play call, FROM THE 1-YD LINE, was 4 Verts. WHAT?!?! LMAO!
In RTG, the CPU called Curl Flats for me 8 consecutive times.
Speaking of curls, curl man defense is broken too. On a curl route, when the receiver breaks down, the defender runs past him for a good 3 yards trying to break on the ball. Just sit there, wait for him to fly past, easy 15 yards. Also, I found a PB bug again. Sometimes, the screen locks up, & when it unlocks, you can't pick a formation or any plays at all. You're stuck. Btw, somebody please let EA know that whatever they did to strafe & swat , undo it. ASAP.
To be clear, that's not a custom playbook bug... that happens with generics as well. The handful of times I've run into that, if you go back to choose by the various styles (Coach, Formation, Type), then go back into the formation, generally it will work. You might have to do that a couple of times before it will.
That has worked for me every time I have run into the problem.
