It would be great to see more details in this part of the game.
2. Since teams will share the same playbook how many different plays can we expect to see come release?
3. Will preseason matter? Can we expect to see roster cut dates?
4. 3-4 defense, how will this affect roster decisions and depth chart?

1)We have HC and the OC and DC. They will have attributes to indicate what they prefer (e.g. 4-3 or 3-4 etc.) Not any more details currently though unfortunately.
2)So let's look at Offence only, and ignore ST.
You'll have your base formations (I'm doing this from memory), I, Single Back, No Back. etc.
Say you click on I. You'll then see, split I (Left + R), Jumbo (L+R), Big (L+R), Offset (L+R) etc etc.
Click on one of those. You'll have all the running possibilities, i.e. the RB/FB/etc into all the different holes.
For passing you'll have every combination of the receivers doing different things in the passing tree we can think of.
The step backs are automatically decided on the play called. Not sure yet if we will have motion automatic or something you can choose. Not sure how complicated we want things yet.
In short we might have to cut down on the plays rather than have too few.
3)Yes, hugely. All the real life cut dates are already in.
4)The HC/DC will have a preference, and adjust stuff accordingly to play what they like (and draft accordingly etc).
