Gameflow is sort of just a quicker way to pick plays, kind of like an ask madden, or ask corso( I Believe for NCAA) They just pick a play they feel fits the situation, but now with customizable playbooks, we can actually do a lot more and choose what play is being picked in certain situations. I love the fact we can sub in fresh legs for running back, this can come in handy for tiring a defense for the fourth qtr. Nice job EA.

Actually it can't be EDECT unless thats some type of abbreviation cuz there aren't any words that have edect in them. There are words with EDEC though. The only one that makes sense would be prEDECessor(s). Not too sure how that fits together with CORE and BANTER though.

I'm wondering about that "CBS" I see on the board.

I doubt they have broadcast intergration but it's very interesting.

Game flow and game planning are two different things.

Yes it was an option to turn it off.

I see almost no way they broke the news of CBS integration that way, but my heart still skipped a beat.

They're still using Gus and Collinsworth, right? I doubt CBS would be cool with it unless they subbed Collinsworth for whoever Gus's real life partner is.

About that board, did every not see that M 13 in the corner ?

Which got me thinking most of that stuff written on the board is the goal for Madden 2013 and not Madden 12.

I know they're two different things but you make a game plan which will then be used in game flow. Right?

And like someone already said CBS is probably just about the style of presentation not actual CBS logos, broadcast teams and graphics. Phil already said thats not happening this year. Unless that is something planned for M13.

Where did you read this? Sounds excellent but I must have missed that being announced.

Essentially.

You set up your custom playbook with any plays you want.

You then set up a gameplan dictating which plays from your custom playbook you want called in each situation.

Gameflow then calls a play from your gameplan so you don't ever actually see the playcall screen if you don't want to.

I just hope packages are in this year - phil Frazier has ignored my tweet about it which isn't promising as he normally answers questions promptly

# 31 NoTiCe_O @ 05/03/11 06:39 PM

I recall reading somewhere that they were using professional camera men and cinematographers, some from cbs, so i think they're just trying to replicate the cbs presentation with an EAsports feel

# 32 RedZoneD25 @ 05/03/11 06:43 PM

This picture made me smile. Looks awesome.

Just to clear up any questions about what CBS means on that whiteboard here are a few tweets from Phil Frazier:

Have you guys thought about doing that where you have espn,fox and CBS? Is that even possible? Fillycheze Fillycheze @BlazenHawks We've certainly thought about it. Many issues involved. All difficult but not impossible. Need to nail one good version first.

Now just need to find out what CORE BANTER and *EDEC* (maybe edec is part of predecessors?) have in common. Hopefully a new commentary system. But I guess that'd be coming for M13 at the earliest since they didn't mention it with presentation.

We have been able to do this since Madden 10.

Heh you mean where it says CBS? Yeah thats pretty sweet if it means what we want it to mean. The lighting looks good but that arm looks painful.

I think they are probably still working on the announcing, and I would assume that they would rather show us the improved commentary, instead of just talking about it. Hopefully, they are waiting until they finish it and show us how it's vastly improved. It makes or breaks whether Madden 12 can be in the same sentence as MLB The Show and NBA 2K.

MLB The Show? That commentary may look good next to Madden's, but its really not that great. NBA 2k? Yea, easily the best commentary behind MLB 2k.

I dont think it's a ticker. It might be some menu from the thing they used to pause the screen or whatever, hence the dark grey shade box around most the TV and the large pause sign

# 39 MrSkagTrendy @ 05/03/11 07:54 PM

For those of you discussing what 'Bench' is, it's a play. Double twins gun formation where the outside guys run 5 and outs, slot guys run post corners. Great play..

# 40 CFTejada @ 05/03/11 08:34 PM

I don't understand why ANYONE would use game flow, Why would anyone want the CPU to dictate what plays you run? & I guess it's "faster" but I can pick plays 5-10 seconds longer then Gameflow which isn't a big deal....
