ive added forms and plays

if you follow reigns advise you should be good

also, i used auburn as a base and for whatever reason a formation called wild cowboy shows up a audible. not sure why b/c its not even an option under forms.

couldnt figure out how to delete it so i just picked another base and started all over..lol

we know that silly

the question is does using it cause an increased rate of disconnects to the point where we need to look into not allowing them

so far sounds like its not that big of an impact but just wanna make sure we look into. disconnects in league games fucking sucks

Does it involve a tent and someone not quitting someone else?

I just add/remove formations and do not mess with the plays though. Maybe that's a factor.

Shut the fuck up NDL:Rhode Island. NDL:Indiana outnumbers you.
NDL: Indiana is just NDL: Ohio West.

Played 5 ranked games and about 8-10 games with NDL guys, all with custom books. I've got 1 dc against mike and I think that is whatever crazy issue that he's been having. I'm pretty sure those tips I posted negate whatever the problem is.

Baker and Dealer are not pleased with you. As the capo of NDL:IN and a legitimate businessman in the waste management industry, I'm ambivalent but aware of your unfortunate choice.

If the cement boots don't fit, you must acquit?

ive added and removed plays. Is there any truth to the multiples of 3 theory for disconnects? I played 3 games with custom pb and no disconnects but that was before I began removing plays.

I changed ALOT of my plays...dang it...that may be the issue
Played 3 online games so far. Changed alot of my plays and formations. But I did it like sone one suggested. Strt with an existing PB and remove and replace one formation at a time. Also save yourself some time and put all your audibles into gialline before starting to make changes. Then you won't hi the roadblock of removing a formation that has an audible tied to it. Once satisfied with the playbill go updye the audibles.

If you're going to go about it that way than NDL:IN is just a puppet of NDL:NY and Trendon is boss and I'm consigliere. Little did you know NDL:RI is our money making guy so leave him alone.


Back on topic, I've used the custom formations in all my games and haven't had many problems. Played Tfan last night with a little bit of lag but it wasn't too noticeable and I don't think it had to do with playbooks.

I had numerous disconnects the first three days using both team specific and custom playbooks. Haven't had a disconnect since Thursday night though and used custom playbooks exclusively all weekend so I'm hoping it was just a server issue.

Well I spoke to soon. Just tried my first game today against tfan and got disconnected in the 1st Q. :?

I guess I will try not using custom playbooks the rest of the day and see what happens.

Used my CP in 5 games and only had one disco, but I never had problems with having the dreaded ? pop up. Other than the fact that I'm stuck with the garbage formation known as Bulldog (thanks Pelini), I've had no issues. Never had any issues with it offline.

Saturday was just a fluke I guess as I'm still getting DCed left and right. Get that replacement coach ready guys. :lol:

Hey block yeah my int went out, that was the reason why we got disconnected also! I have used a custom playbook in almost all my scrimmages, and never got DCed, just an fyi, but im good either way if we can or cannot use custom playbooks.
