Been playing Doc, beefy and plasma. Hadn't had a disconnect until today when I used my CUSTOM playbook.

So.... I dunno.

Its weird....ive played 10-11 games now. every single one with a custom PB. Ive been disconnected a total of 3 times. All on 3 diff days now.

I think its more server than it is custom PB.

Was using custom in both of our games last night tfan... no issues then either.

Personally, I am guessing that they have (guessing) say 5 servers in Production for everyone to use.

And it is only 1 of those servers having some config issue and they either do not want to believe the public that it is happening as frequently as it is or they cannot find which server the issue is happening on.

6 or 7 games and no issues. Not sure what the deal is.

Has anyone had a problem with a blank play call screen? It happened four times against Oldschoola in our league game last night. I cannot pick a play, and the only thing i can see is a coaches recommendation screen, but no plays. So I pick one of them thinking I can audible out, all of my players move to the middle of the line in a huddle and do not break the circle. I practiced earlier today and it did the same thing offline with this happening with all custom playbooks. Man, this sucks. I had to erase all of my custom playbooks after hours of removing plays and formations.

Go back and read Reign's walk through on playbooks here. I would definitely make sure each of your formations have a multiple of 3 in the number of plays.

Thanks Oracle for the heads up.

my custom book has worked without hiccups the last 5-6 games

Yep the key is the multiple of 3 thing. I've yet to have a blank playcall screen.

I've actually run into this 4 times, even with trying to keep my book tidy. I think it may not be related to custom playbooks though. I've had the situation where all of the guys are in a bunch, just 1 time. The other 3 times, came after a score and kick return. I had my team's only option come out as kickoff return. In all 3 situations, it was near the end of the half or the game, where the other team was likely to throw a long pass. It's almost as if it was a prevent defense situation each time.

The funniest moment from this came in my game against champ this week. Just before half, he got the ball back and had about 15 sec on the clock. The glitch happened and I got stuck in kickoff return, I'm sure he was like "wtf" is this. So he's running some variation of 4 verts/hail mary and tries to nail an inside streak, my backup CENTER, who was on the front line of the return team, intercepted the ball! Epic win! Too bad my dbs dropped about 4 other picks and I lost the game... should have subbed that dude in at CB and played press coverage... boom!

You know... I think I still have 1 form that doesn't have a multiple of 3 because the game added a play back in. I need to double check that.

It really doesn't matter if it's a multiple of 3 or not. My playbook has one formation in it that is only one play. I'm assuming this is because I did 372 plays originally to make multiples of 3. I didn't get a disconnect when I was playing so I went in and changed some other formations around and there are a couple where I'm short by 1 or 2 and it still seems to work for me and I haven't had a problem with the disconnects as of yet.

Shift... I think I hit on that in the other thread. That 1 formation was either a preset audible from the playbook that you started with or it is a formation that you added, then removed and for some reason the system locked it in. It's dumb. I scraped 1 playbook because of that.

It's not marked down as an audible and I went in and fully adjusted my audibles to plays in my playbook specifically. It definitely is weird. I did it exactly how you posted it, except for the 3's after I realized I wasn't getting this glitch when I saw I had formations that were short.

What I mean, is I think that it might have originally been an audible in the playbook that you started with. That was how I ran into the issue originally.
