Looking at a playbook

[mudrick]

How do you simply load up a playbook to look at the plays within from the play creation section?

[Marauders]

Did you want to look at the plays or the thumbnails?
 
When you do into the PDS, you select the playbook you are looking at.
 
If you just want to see the thumbnails, I find it easier to go into the tools, load a playbook, and just look at the thumbnails of the plays.
 
In the future, it would be nice to be able to print out the plays as thumbnails, but that is not yet a game feature.

Thank you.  That was quite helpful.  Im starting to get a better grasp of this.  And yes, I was looking for the thumbnails.

David,
 
Would it be possible to include a function or sub-program that will allow us to chose how the plays are organized in each formation, that way we can have the plays we use the most on the first page, and lesser used plays on subsequent pages?  As is, one of my favorite pass plays is on the 5th page of plays within my I-formation set of plays, and it would be nice to organize the plays differently.  An alternative would be to include a "quick page" function so I don't have to scrool all the way through a page to get to the next page.

yes please please please this is a priority to me and my dad . He's slightly disabled bc of a stroke and having the plays printed out so he could review them all on paper before a game would not only help but basically ALLOW him to play. David or whoever i need to address this to, consider this a very strong plea. MAKE IT A PRIORITY! Or someone develop a utility

I apologize if this solution has already been implemented but i finally have some time free to spend with my dad and ew've always enjoyed all forms of football.. Already threw the ball around, and there's no games on today so the next best thing for us is SIM FOOTBALL! And this is game is what we've been waiting for for years and years, long before he had hisstroke...

are you talking about in utilities or inside the game itself?

I cast my vote for printing thumbnails. Being able to organize plays according to one's own use preferences would be a great help as well.

Have their been any updates on ability to Print Playbooks for manual organization? Think this would be a great help during games for quick play-calling. Some older versions of Madden PC Football came with a hard-copy of the playbook and I loved that.

In response to your question Hack, I manipulate playbooks in the utility that comes with the game, same one you can manipulate rosters, teams, and Compact League Databases.

I dont think this is likely to happen. Im not sure if David has finalized the items for the upcoming expansion, but I havent seen this mentioned or listed anywhere.

It could be done manually by taking screens and then printing that out. A hassle, yes, but an option.

Well we have to do somethings for ourselves, cant expect David to apply every tiny little detail we ask for
although having him come round and do my gardening would be nice...........[:D][:D][:D], Hahahahahahahahahaha
