Florida has an End Around and a Play Action off it in the I Form.

Good to see

I haven't tried the demo yet but if it works as much like the Madden '10 playcalling system as it looks, you're not gonna be happy. I do a lot of Ask Corso for the same reasons that you do. In Madden, you couldn't change packages from Ask Madden. What was worse is that you couldn't even go to the By Formation screen, change the package, and then go back to Ask Madden...it resets it to the default every time.

I don't know how many others did this, but I always used the various bluff buttons to call plays last year. The play calling screen is one thing that did NOT need to be touched. This new view is just terrible. So limited. Especially with the whole focus on 120 ways to win and updated playbooks, you get to see so little of each playbook because it takes 5-10 seconds to scroll over all the way through the longer playbooks (if you're analyzing the plays as you go).

It's just dumb, dumb, dumb. I can't think of one good reason to do it this way. Can you?

If you hold the left trigger, you can quickly cycle through and select plays. I guess its called bluff because you don't have to highlight a play to select it.

You'll get used to it.

It doesn't really bother me.

This is exactly how I feel.

I agree, the playbook inerface it is a subjective thing I guess, but wow many people hate what they have done, including me.
