Madden 10 Are there really only three plays to select from.......

[Aboogie5]

It really doesnt make a difference...

This is for the better cuz each play is designated for a button... though they still could of had 4 plays since their are buttons... but we need a back button... O WELL

it's old school, last gen and beyond Madden.

I haven't tried the demo yet, but I'm hoping it's easy to sub and out players.

If they wanted to take it back to old school, they should put the 9 selections with 3 on top (the play titles) and 3 on the bottom, so that when you play 2 player, you'll have 9 plays to bluff from.

anyone remember?

Yes, I think that is what Virix was talking about when he posted:

Wouldnt take up much space at all, they could even make the diagrams a tad bit smaller to compensate. I also miss the yard markers, hashmarks and first down markers in the diagrams.

I missed this play call method since the switch to the current gen. It was a really effective way of concealing the chosen play.

No, the old school maddens (after about 2000) had 9 plays to call on the screen and only 3 diagrams. That way would be fine. This is NOT the same as it was lol.

It is... you hit L2/LT, and you can sub.

Playcall screen is great and it's about time they return to this. I'm not surprised somebody complains about this though ... everybody clamours for the old school playcalling screen, it comes back, and then the people who liked the dysfunctional "next gen" play call screen complain that they want it back.

I have no problem at all with the new playcalling screen. I like the change. It's nice and convenient.
