I just found this in the blog about gameflow:

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.

This sounds like it would give you the choices of the plays.

I thought I was the only one who read that and thought MastaJedi'1 sons both died.

Probably my favorite thing was after i scored a TD with the Colts and kicked off i tackled the kick returner and after one of my players wass falling two oothers who all were going there fell as well.

This could be huge if there's any kind of lag online.

another thing i noticed was Peyton throwing a regular pass while being hit over the usual lob pop up in '10

I'm not in a party and I still can't hear crap through the headset. And yes the whole new kicking thing is ODD. Completely messes up my FG's and Punts. And I don't like the way the camera zooms so far out when you passing, makes the players look like ants.

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." Looks like everyone can relax just like SB said in the final version. The awful strategy pad can be turned off.

You can turn off the icon that blocks the screen (this is a must because can't see the action especially on the defensive side of the ball) but you still have to use the D-pad to make the adjustments.

The Strategy pad and kick meter are let downs for me so far. I'm still giving gameflow a chance. I'm going to set it like the old style in letting me chose my playbook, and the gameflow in place of "ask madden" If that is the case then my situational plays will show up there and that would be awesome. Time to do some research if this is in fact possible.

youtube some retail game play. i have, and i think it looks and sounds pretty good. and this is coming from someone that has literally hated all current gen versions. they must have actually spent some time with the audio this year. a player clapped during a TD celebration, and you could actually hear it. i don't remember that level of audio detail in 10.
