So doesnt that make it pointless?

When they first talked about this feature they said this wouldnt be the case

I am pretty sure that they said just because the set up play is high (close to 100%) does not mean that the play is guaranteed to be successful.

Ok so back to my original question. Doesnt that make the % thing pointless? If 100% doesnt guarentee anything then whats the point?

I don't think it makes it pointless. You're not going to have your team play pass every play. For example, if it's 3rd and 1 and they've been running it basically all game, you're most likely not going to call for your defense to play the pass, therefore, if they run a PA Setup play, then there's a good chance for it to be successful. And like Cvhsalumni said, even if it is 100% it doesn't mean the play will be successful because if you're throwing towards a start CB, he won't necessarily bite on it, there's just a "higher" possibility.

No... How is anyone going to KNOW exactly when you will run a set up play? Just because it's at 100% doesn't mean you have to run it... Plus, it makes user vs cpu better because it actually gives the cpu somewhat of a brain.

And I can't get the damn quote thing to work... can someone help me? I'm clicking the blue/yellow quote balloons, and it says quote (person's name) in reply and I check it, but it keeps posting without quoting.... Grr

I meant user vs. user. Dont get me wrong I love the idea of gameplanning but I dont like the fact they show you the % number.
