I was thinking the same thing. The idea behind it, the game planning, and letting the game basically "script" your plays and actually make decisions the way a coach (or me, for instance) would call plays is ingenious. It seems like a really great idea...but then they put the overlay with the sentences...I can bring up the playart...I know what the play is. Don't tell me it's a deep out...I can see that.

The best way to remedy that in my opinion, is to have the headset and writing for Rookie (and maybe Pro) difficulties...for All-Pro and All-Madden, take it off...just let it be what it's supposed to be...the coordinator calling in the plays. No overlays, no pausing the presentation content so that the coordinator can say "Hey, let's run the ball for a touchdown on this play!"...

It seemed so promising...

Sorry, but I dont think so...Since there is audio with Chris speaking...Plus he usually comments after plays not before the snap or the first seconds of the play

So I have a question - how can you use this gameplan/gameflow stuff when you're playing someone who is sitting right beside you? The game is going to show what you're running on the screen for everyone to see isn't it?

I also agree on the crowd. I will say that the crowd and in-game stadium music is much improved this year. It just kills me when I think about how much these guys get paid and how lazy they are with this game. Change a menu, change the kicking meter, add a few new features, add a new announcer and call it a completed game. It really makes me mad to hear him saw that online co-op was an experiment last year. How about you perfect the gameplay and then you can start doing experiments. I shouldn't be hearing ANY of the same commentary or see ANY of the same animations from last year but I do. I wish they would hire some guys with passion and not guys with the used car salesman pitch like Phil.

You plug your headset in and the coach comes through there telling you about the play.

That looked pretty good, best video I've seen yet.
CB/WR Interaction looks greatly improved.
