Madden NFL 11 Blog: Game Flow & Game Planning

[jkra0512]

This feature sounds like something I will definitely use. I get so bored of calling my own plays, because I start only going with what works and never really trying anything else. It'll be nice having an OC and DC per se.

"Another key note about gameplans is that you can use them with or without GameFlow. Let's say you want to play with the old style play-calling screen. If you do, the "Ask Madden" option is actually totally replaced with "My Gameplan", which then gives you all your pre-planned plays right there for you in each game situation."

All I needed..Success

Gotta laugh at how Gameflow was directly mentioned with "quicker" and the only mention of the game being quicker was in the last paragraph. This blog is really trying to show that Gameflow is authentic and for the hardcore. I don't care who Gameflow is for, arcade players, casual players, hardcore players, etc., I want to try it no matter what.

This is why it won't fix people only using a handful of plays. It will speed of gameplay, but won't do much calling different plays.

I anticipated a stale blog b/c this stuff has been talked about all week...but it was actually pretty informative and organized. I like all of the customization options (tweaking CPU gameplans to account for real life tendencies ).

I'm curious to see how these features are translated to franchise mode. IGN confirmed that gameplans are affected by hiring/firing coordinators and while I can believe that, I'd like to hear it from the horse's mouth.

just an idle note...for the love of god..can the defensive playbooks be updated? We've been looking at the same zone blitz plays for over a decade.

I'm saying "NO" to "GAME FLOW". I rather call my own plays. And I don't care if calling my own plays make the game the longer, that's not an issue to me. I just want to enjoy the gaming experience.

That sir, is a good thing. Some people that want to use Gameflow don't necessarily want the game sped up; they just like the feature .
