Yea, IGN isn't very credible however we probably won't know if this is a part of franchise because we haven't heard anything on franchise mode yet.

I hope we can set our play calling approach in the menu, so we don't have to hit X each and every single time just to avoid GameFlow.

I hope we they didn't burn all their time/resources on the GameFlow implementation, and we actually have the ability to edit our own playbook this year, and to save games. Both of which have been fan requests for years now.

I actually think both those and GameFlow together would be really cool. Even if GameFlow works super - I still want to be able to atleast go through, pick my formations and what plays I run out of them. GameFlow will help me cut out the complete BS plays, but still won't, as far as we know, let me get that handful of plays from "x" playbook that i want to run too!

That's a legitimate request. It should definitely be an option.

If someone really just wants absolutely nothing to do with gameflow, dont further agitate them by forcing them to look at it every single play. And on the flip side, if someone no longer wants to see the playbook, let them also choose to only use gameflow.

Off topic but did anyone else notice the chain gang refs moving pre snap? I'm not sure if this was in last year. just checking

"You can choose to play with the conventional play call screen (old style play call screen that's been around since the advent of football gaming). You can choose to turn off coordinator audio, subtitles, and strategy pad. Pretty much everything is an option."

Pretty sure you'll be able to in an option menu.

Like the Gameplan part, don't like gameflow, I'll try it but I think that voice in my headset is going to get stale and annoyiing real quick. Hoping I can completely turn off Gameflow and not have to x out everytime.

You could look at it that way or you could say great - I go through the situations once, "set" my gameplan once, go back and tweak (probably take you like 5 mins) every now and then!
