Do we have a limit of plays we can set for off and def?

You can choose 40 offensive and 30 defensive plays in your game plan. You can scout 10 offensive and 10 defensive plays of your opponent's.

Oh, on the game plan rules you can make as many rules as you want - but they will only choose plays from your active plays, you don't select plays directly in the rules themselves. The plays that are listed when you "view plays" are the ones that match the rule and are active in your game plan.

I was going to ask this, do we HAVE to have the 40 O and 30 D plays, or can we use less?

You must have a minimum of 30 plays in both Offense and Defense to prevent the AI from setting your gameplan for you.

Ah right, I thought that if I didn't have 40 offensive plays the AI would pick 10 at random, that's cleared up now, thanks

Interesting…I only have 23 on defense and that's been all year and last year too. Are you saying the AI loads extra plays to flush that out or goes full on write a new game plan from scratch. I am getting the plays I am trying to get so it seems to be working at 23.

If you have less than the 40 max offensive plays, does your team focus proportionally more on those you have selected? Or are you just missing out on practice time for the 1-10 you're not using?

That is to say, if you pare down your O playbook from 40 to 30 plays, will your team learn those 30 plays faster as a result? Or does it just mean that you're not taking advantage of learning 10 other plays?

You know what, I just looked more closely at it - the AI will reset your game plan if you have fewer than 30 plays _total_, or zero offensive or defensive plays. So you could theoretically have 1 offensive play and 29 defensive plays.
