Yep, that was deliberate design. If I tried to remove the Split Backs set with another set, like say, a Pistol set, a lot of plays would simply get F'd up due to the way the playbooks are handled. All playbooks use kind of like a dictionary of routes and actions each player will do. If you alter a single action (Like telling a FB to run a route instead of páss block) that can alter all of the playbook (That same pass route maybe was used by the O-Linemen in the whole playbook, which results in Lineman running up field asking for a pass).
The work around for this, and they way I should actually do it, is to import every formation I want into an empty, Madden generated playbook. The problem is, this would take a hell of a lot more time, as I would have to reassign the PBAIs so that the CPU can properly use the playbook, and there is no batch method for this, I have to reassign play by play every tag. This still happens when I import formations as well. This is the reason why my other project, which is recreating the Madden NFL 18 playbooks themselves, is not going to be started in a while, because it takes a lot of time to recreate almost every play, then assign those tags to the correct plays.
The TLDR is: it is intended, because it is faster. Don't worry, the AI is very likely to not use the Split Backs set.
