Here’s an example of how to create a custom play based on a
Gun 3 WR
sub-formation (an offensive passing play).
Use the
Left Thumbstick
to move the little red
circle to one of the
players. In this example,
press the
X
button to
have the selected receiver
run out for a medium
pass. See that green
arrow appear? That’s
the route the selected
receiver will run. Use the
Left Thumbstick
to move that arrow, thus changing the path
the receiver will follow.
When you find the route
you want, press the
A
button, and the color of
the path changes to gray.
After you’ve assigned an
action to each offensive
player, a checkmark
appears beside one of
the instructions.
Now use the
Left
Thumbstick
again to select another player. Keep reading the
instructions on the screen and using the button controls at the
bottom of the screen, and you’ll do just fine.
COACH SAYS
The
My Plays
option appears in the playpicker only
after you’ve created a play or designated an existing
play as a favorite in your user profile.
If you’ve created an
offensive play, you can
simulate it to see how
well it works on the field.
If you like what you see,
select
Save Play
, and
give it a name.
When you’ve created a
play of your own, you
can pick from those
plays in a real game
whenever you play with
your user profile.
