So does anyone use the live playbooks in our league? They came out too late for ke to switch and try them.
I use live playbook. Not sure how it works though on offense since I use the “Run N Gun” playbook.
yeah, I actually like it more.
I’m still trying to find the right playbook… been using custom for so long…. I’m have my own offensive still should be OC
I use live playbooks. NE Defense has some unique 4-3 looks
I been using the live playbooks, ya maybe I’ll check out that new play they added.
I have not yet tried the live playbook. I’ll check it out. Good to see they made an addition to the Bengal’s playbook as well.
The only thing that’s sucks is You can’t toggle back and forth once your live no going back… some of the defensive books changed as well
