Hi everyone,
I noticed in my last game on the 16th my team used 2 formations that weren't in my match orders repeatedly (big I and wishbone) particularly in the 4th quarter.

Is this something in the play book overriding match orders? I still have the rookie play book on so haven't put anything in there myself.

Perhaps you have Default settings that include random formations in unspecified situations.

Seems non-random as it is rushing in those two formations. Could be there to try and protect a lead if you're up in the 4th I suppose. Wanted to check if it was a known thing really.

Of course I can't see what's in the rookie playbook without enabling the full playbook that can't be undone.

just enable the playbook editor. If you do not edit the rules, you will be fine. Advantage: you can see what happens.

Ok, I assumed it was blank and I would have to come up with all the rules

No no, it just hides the rules from you and saves you from making crazy edits. There are initial rules for each team in this basic playbook. For more information please have a read here:

Here's a playbook question I'm 99% sure about the answer, but thought I'd better check.

When an Overtime Quarter begins the clock isn't running down but running up.
So if a guy wanted to playbook the overtime how does he do the times ?

Is time done in reverse order ?

I really don't want to get into an overtime game and have the game engine picking my plays, Offense or Defense.

Usually, OT rules o not contain clock-rules, since they do not make much sense. We play sudden death, and if the OT takes a year, it takes year

You say "Usually" ... Does that leave the door open to an 'Unusual' way use time ?

I guess I'm asking that if I create an 'upside down' overtime playbook would the game engine recognize it as such.

The usually here was more a phrase, I guess.
