Defensive AI? Just select it in the drop down menu.

Offensive AI? Choose Goal Line Offense in the drop down menu. That's the only formation you can choose.

you would think that the formations change as far as if it what run play and what length you use.

People claim they do, but I've done enough testing that I can say with pretty good authority that it doesn't help.

Setting a play as "HB Pitch, Long, WR" is just as likely to come up with an I-Form or Weak-I as it is the 3-WR set.

I think Forbin is right, it seems the AI just ignores the dropdowns that don't apply.

There seems to be some slight evidence that you can force the I formation 3 WR and singleback double TE with a high percentage of short passes (the former to the WR, and the latter to the TE). But I haven't seen it done consistently enough to know what that percentage is, and whether it helps anything.

That is true, actually, but it's a result of there not being enough short passing plays in the game. "TE Short" will get you the Singleback-Big formation VERY often.
