I know the Flexbone was never really implemented, but after the recent news I removed it from my main playbook.

It was used 22 times today. I have a lot of Wishbone calls in my playbook - that was shown as not being used.

Is the game reporting Flexbone when the Wishbone is actually being called?

as told, flexbone and wishbone is the same from the engines point of view, and it is not predictable if it was called flexbone or wishbone in a certain situation

I know there is no difference in implementation... Wishbone=Flexbone in the engine.

BUT, this is clearly a display problem, if a Playbook contains no Flexbone calls, and quite a few Wishbone calls.

But the game shows 22 Flexbone calls and 0 Wishbone calls.

That looks to me as if Wishbone is being called, it is being displayed as Flexbone.

Again, it is the same...you might call Wishbone, and it would display wishbone...but might be, it displays Flexbone as well...even mixed, and vice versa

You don't see how this could confuse/frustrate a newer player who might not have read/understood your announcement?

I do, but there is no fast fix.

I found a fast work around, so at least the display confusion should go away from now. However the formations are still the same, just the order of picking players is different now. It allows the engine to make the difference between both formations.

The manual covers the changed pick order
