No problem, just use it furthermore...it was never executed as Flexbone in this game, not a single minute. Therefore, by disabling it, we changed basically nothing.

In my last match I played several times flexbone, where my playbook had established to play wishbone, so

should I expect some random flexbones when my playbook says wishbone??

I noticed some passes to HB, and lots of FB runs when playing flexbone

So when flex is converted to wish in the engine does it pull all defense out of PB as wish? Or does flex defenses get picked?

random, whatever the engine finds first. As it was all the time...

no it was not. I could s e l e c t diferent defensive formations for flexbone and wishbone. and it worked. We just did not know that it was the same offense formation

for scouting and gameplanning it would be great if we could get rid quickly of the flexbone in play by play and general stats to minimize confusion

It worked by accident and luck, only...However, please guys, ignore my news about FLexbone and Wishbone. We didn't change anything it works/it works not as it was all the 5 years in the past...

This is obviously untrue. A quick check of my past games shows that different defenses were called.

Its hard to believe that 5-3-3 was "randomly" called against all 20 Wishbone plays, while 3-4-4 was "randomly" called against all 20 Flexbone plays. Multiply that by dozens of games and it becomes even harder to swallow.

No need to believe in my analyses...and of course it will match. Too bad, the engine does not think in "Flexbone" or "3-5-5", but in "del-nt-der..."And now guess what happens of two different named formations have the same positions, in the same order...

But again, just ignore me, and as said, it works right now as good or as bad as during the last 5 years, since we changed...nothing (yet)

Then why does it match? Why is it "of course"? Makes a pretty significant difference in how we set up our defensive play books.

I would like to believe what you are saying, but in this can "random" is coming out in 1s and 0s way to frequently for comfort.
