Offensive Custom Playbook Plays Not Working Properly

★★ Novice

Custom Playbooks not showing all of the plays and formations.  Sometimes as I play the game I get a blank screen when I try to pick a play by formation.  After I choose a play using either Concept or Type of Play the plays will show back up in the Formation Section.  However all sets will not show, sometimes audibles do not show properly as well.  Very frustrating to spend hours creating the perfect playbook but not able to use them.  This does not only happen in H2H but even practice as well.  I uploaded two playbooks to the Community so you can see what I mean.   One is labeled Mr Plus 1 (offense and defense) and another is CustomEagles (offense and defense).  These issues only seem to happen for the Offensive Playbook.

Anyone having problems in franchise mode where formation subs don't appear if you change offense playbook? Or on the defense side, you change subs in a formation and it doesn't stay after you exit?

Also if you change quarter length for league, CPU games still go 60 minutes and have ridiculous stats? Like 6 tds, 500 yards passing a game, 80 downs played.

Summarize your bug 32 team offline CFM. Around 31st to 32nd team edited, resets to defaults and won't save any edits. Eventually you can't edit even pre-existing sub packages without it resetting to default.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Run a 32 team offline CFM in Owner mode and make formation subs for each team. See if edits are saved for each team
What happens when the bug occurs? Sub packages are not saved
What do you expect to see? Sub packages are saved

Formation Subs

★★★ Newbie

How do you make formation substitutions for  players in the CFM?  When I try it under the coaching section, I can only switch back between offence and defense but no formations show up.  Its just black.

Unable to make formation subs with non-team playbooks

★★★ Newbie

Whenever  I choose a non-team playbook (West Coast, Spread, 3-4, etc.) I am unable to make any formation subs. The screen is blank. However, they work if I choose a playbook assigned to a team/coach. Anyone else having this issues?

Yep I have the same issue. Changed my playbook to West Coast. When I go to formation subs, it’s starts loading then I just get a blank screen. Hopefully they address this bug. It’s the small things like this that get annoying.
