That makes no freakin' sense.

Side note: Pretty cool that you used to do testing for Ford. One of my managers was ex-Ford.

Steelerfan, glad I can help, everyone else always gives me help and tips here so I'm just glad for once I can give back.

As far as Ford goes, yes I used to provide technical support and QA test the "CPD" (computerized publication display) it's the "Chilton Manual" on a DVD for all their models of cars. Besides troubleshooting it over the phone with Parts and Service Managers from around the US we also had to QA it and try and break it and find issues with the monthly updates.

I haven't tried making a Custom Spread Style Playbook. I assume each "style" activates something though. That's why you still have to choose a base playbook, then it activates Kirk talking about your game at the beginning when the other guys says, "Kirk, tell us about the offense and what we should expect...." This triggers something in the programming to talk Spread, Air Raid, etc...

If I had to guess, if you put your game speed on SLOW and make a custom PB with a Spread style as the base I doubt they would work, just my guessing.

As far as the formations not being different, I think it doesn't have to do w/ the formations at all, it again has to do w/ the code for "spread" each style should have it's own code to trigger different events.
