Playbook Questions

[JeffHCross]

Does this just mean any play with the green presnap motion or...? Because I wasn't aware of any plays that didn't match the little playart picture.

Not any play, no. But that's sometimes a giveaway.

They do match the playart, but they don't necessarily match the rest of the formation.

Is there any way you could list all the hidden plays? or mark them with an * or something. If not that's cool just a suggestion.

I don't think he's planning to list all the plays within each playbook. That'd be a massive level of effort.

I think you've maybe been a bit misled by the term "hidden plays" ... that sounds a lot more exciting than it is. It's more like a formation within a formation. The "hidden" formation is reflected in the play art, if you're paying attention.

As an example, here's South Carolina's Emory and Henry in NCAA 11, from Ace Big, and a sort of Ace Big "Tight" variation in Syracuse's playbook. You can tell by the play art that's there something funky going on:

Ahh okay I get it now and thanks for the example Unconquered.

I just was wondering if there would be a list somewhere that showed all those plays because doesn't custom playbook just list the names of the plays and not the playart? Idk... I'm sure I'll end up just going through every play in the game at some point...

[JeffHCross]

Custom Playbook shows the playart of the play on the right.

My bad I totally forgot I thought it just showed the formation and then listed the play name. Ahhh! I want the game!

This may have been answered elsewhere, but how many custom playbooks are we allowed to have?
I noticed in the Day One Update thread that we will have the ability to pick the computer's playbook. Might be useful for eliminating the all out blitz from the cpu's repertoire.

15 each for offense and defense.

Would someone be willing to do a video walkthrough of just the wildcat formations in the ncaa 2012 custom playbooks feature?

i'd love to see everything wishbone has to offer... formations and plays

As far as I've noticed (I didn't look closely, so this is just my general impression), there's only the two Wildcat formations: Wildcat and Wildcat Spread. They're largely the same as the formations that were present in NCAA '11.

[th3 last tiger]

But I remember there being multiple wildcat formations in NCAA 11 for example the UCLA version, Rutgers, Troy, and UAB all had different wildcats

I know they all had different names but were they all actually different formations? Any and all the plays from the various formations will be in the one formation.

Yes, all those I listed are different formations

[gschwendt]

Yeah... looks like other than Gator Heavy, Wildcat and Wildcat Spread, the unique Wildcat style formations have the same treatment as Goalline. They're tied to specific playbooks, which is very unfortunate. That said, I'm going through all of the playbooks now (only 5 or so remaining) and creating a spreadsheet that shows every formation in a playbook, including Wildcats and Goalline so if you want a specific one, you can at least start with that team as your template. It sucks but it's at least a workable solution.

[th3 last tiger]

Well that's a disappointment, that changes a few things. So just to be clear, If i wanted the Rutgers wildcat formation I would have to use their playbook as my base?

Yes. That appears to be the way it currently works. Not sure if it's a certain or intentional at this point.

Bummer. That's too bad. I knew there had to be a catch with custom playbooks! Ah well, it's pretty minor, especially since I think the Wildcat is hugely overrated anyway. But still -- I think some people are gonna be disappointed with this, even if there's a workaround.

good heads up on the wildcats...cause i remember from NCAA 11 that Rutgers wildcat was simlar to the one that Atlanta had on madden if so then i guess rutgers playbook will be my template...good work with everything yall doing here guys keep it up

They were actually copied over from madden. If you go to formation subs and look at wildcats other than the "standard" ones they say things like wildcat_chiefs and wildcat_bengals and ect.
