Regardless of my patch files version numbering, can't you just follow the instructions to get the books Revanfan

Pre play I'll have certain buttons set for certain receivers then post play the buttons change and for the first time today I noticed someone had ran a route and completely lost his button all together. It's not ever play, but it's not just a few plays either. I use updated NFL rules, and expanded catching with calhoupe scripts.
Yep I am aware of that issue. However, I'm not going to go through every playbook and test every play at this point. ActualIy the playbook project is officially over. I suggest you go back to using the old 2011 books that were imported from PS2 Madden.
In a project like this, there needed to be more than one person working on the project. I asked for assistance on many occasions, but recieved none. So, unfortunately some issues and errors were not detected and are present in the end product. I don't like it. It is what it is.
Edit: I have already asked RevanFan not to distribute them with the FI Mod.

I assume you are somewhat familiar with Packfan's editor.
1. Take note in Madden 08 what the differences are between the letter codes in the play selection screen and the letter codes on the field for each formation that has the problem.
2. Identify any positions that share the same letter in the play selection screen and the field. For example, let's say that the leftmost WR has the letter W in the play selection screen while say a flanker has the letter W on the field. The idea is to swap these positions in the play editor and then reassign the player code back to the original position. By spending several minutes in Madden Practice mode with a pencil and paper, you should be able to make a list.
3. After determining which formations have players to swap and identifying which players are to be swapped, one can actually swap the positions on the formation tab in the play editor.
(In the play editor each of the 11 positions is assigned a player. For example, pos 3 may be assigned WR1, position 5 may have TE1, etc,)
4, In the formation editor, you can swap the affected positions. Then, right click and change the position assignments back to what they were before you swapped. After you get the hang of this, it should take several minutes for each formation (maybe a couple minutes per swap).
5. Save the playbook and the letters should match.
The directions may seem strange until you've tried it once. I suggest that you find one formation in one playbook to work on first and try to get that done. Let me know if you have troubles. This is definitely a work-around that would have been hard for anyone to discover unless they spent much time with the editor.

I would not use the work-around that I suggested for this project because it will affect the play calling by the AI QBs. Not acceptable because an important feature of this project was all the work accomplished to get the AI to call plays well. I have used the playbooks in this project and will continue to use them. The minor flaw found in the pre-play buttons can be easily worked around.
That being said, if someone, like Rarebutter maybe, would want to use these playbooks for users only (not AI), and they want to see the correct receiver buttons on the play selection screen, then the fix I suggested will help them. Keep in mind that custom plays often have incorrect playart for some routes in the play selection screen. However, both playart and receiver button labels, are correct when looking at the graphics on the field (using "G" for instance).
If the play selection screen imperfections are important to you, then custom plays can't be used. I personally feel that the advantages of modernizing Madden 08 far outweigh the disadvantages of not being able to use all the features in the play selection screens.
