Well I opened up the Plays file to create some new plays and I noticed a lot of them look funny. I have the plays modification file with the 200+ extra plays added. For example

<Play Freq="1" Formation="ProSet" Name="LWR Quick Screen" Type="Pass" OffScheme="ProStyle" PassPref="Short" PassTargetPref="Outside" RBRole="Blocking" TERole="Blocking" BaseForm ="true">
<Slot ID="0">

<Action Type="Move" DeltaX="0" DeltaY="-9" Delay="0"></Action>
</Path>
</Slot>
<Slot ID="1" Pct="0">

<Action Type="Pass Block" />
</Path>
</Slot>
<Slot ID="2" Pct="0">

<Action Type="Move" DeltaX="24" DeltaY="3" Delay="2"></Action>

what is this DeltaX and Delta Y stuff? Are the plays supposed to look like that? It's only the offensive plays too. Is that zone plays to have the linemen move to a certain area of the field on the playcall? or do I have to go back and change every little action path to run block left, pass block tackle, etc

If you go to the college football mods section, Frankie created a guide for editing (reading) the plays.

no I mean I know how to edit them and make them look right

what I mean is is this DeltaX/Y stuff a legitimate play descriptor (when I call the plays the 2D animations happen) or is it just the file got messed up in translation somehow

its valid descriptions, they code movements relative to current position. But you can also use the keywords found in the plays.xml

I think francua posted an edit play guide that you can consult.
