The Madden demo is right around the corner. A couple of OS staff members had a nice piece today about the demo and it seemed that the Gameflow addition may nor may not be well recieved. EA put a lot of development time into this feature. So the questions is will you use it? Or should they have focused on something else?

Seems kinda obvious.....since everyone is always complaining about "realism" in football games, why wouldn't you use it? It's how the pros run plays in games on Sunday. The coaches don't sit on the sidelines with a book of 350-500 plays to choose from and flip through it during the game. They create a game plan, execute it and adjust on the fly if needed. That's realistic. Yes, yes, yes!

From the Madden roundtable thread:

"if you are a veteran of the series, I have a feeling you are going to hate the amount of control that the feature takes out of your hands -- even if you decide to implement a gameplan. "

If this is true I'll probably not use gameflow.

I will probably give it a try and see if I like it.

Yes, I hate calling plays. It takes too long.

I'll give it a try and see if i like it, but most likely stick to calling my own plays.

I'll give it a try. But a big part of playing the game, to me, is calling my own plays.

Same reason I turn off API in The Show.

Probably not. I like selecting my plays by Play Type.
