i want to use the defensive playbooks to be set automatically when it loads so i don't have to go in manually inside the game and set each plays i use for defense.
Just to make sure: all that can be done in defplays.dbf is to change the defensive ai behaviour (which in its default setting is mainly man defense). So after the cpu scores it will choose a particular defense, if there's a timeout, it will choose another defense, etc.
Nothing of it will show up in the defensive playbooks in-game - it only helps making sure that you don't see man-to-man defense all the time. In fact, with HC_PERIM and HC_POST one might even let the defense react to the strengths of the offense - but haven't tried that yet. They should have something like this already hard-coded anyway, like double d on a player who scores continuously - but I've never seen them fall into a zone for example if I keep scoring from inside the paint or something like that.

ohh ok. i thought it was the same thing with the offensive set plays we set in the playmaps.dbf, where the user/cpu can use the plays you assign them changing the default.
yeah, i noticed it too. now the cpu will call a zone, trap and even full court press when i play against them.
wish there's a way we can change and save the defensive playbooks. it sucks in 06 where they left out the "profiles" thing. last time, i know in live 04, the game had that where you can create your own profile, save offensive and defensive plays, keyboard and gamepad configurations. just wondering they did away with such a great feature.
4 real, its the little things such as setting team specific plays dat EA is lazy at, dat gives the casual nba'er the lack of sim play in live.......live06 is by far the deepest simulation nba game dis year, too bad EA expected the user to make all the tweaks and change team plays every single play, which leads to the realism...it takes my 3minutes to change everything after tip-off each gameI've seen so many different looks in my dynasty by the CPU defenses. Playmakers somehow brought out extra realism on the defensive end with these playbooks. Milwaukee used zones vs me in one game and the next night I saw Utah use what appeared to be a 1-2-2 FCP or Trap defense. I was shocked because I've never before seen teams rotate their defensive approach in any previous Live's.
