Do playcalling tendencies change over time?

We've heard that the game has been tweaked so the plays a team calls in madden in various situations matches what they do in real life. Very cool!

My question is do they change over time? For instance, 8 years into franchise when Peyton retires, are the Colts still going to go pass crazy even if it's not really suited to their team any more? In the shorter term, if Peterson gets injured, will the Vikings adapt with a less run-happy offense? Or is it hard coded, Vikings are gonna run-run-run regardless of the makeup of their team?

I'm pretty sure I read something about this. I think there is something like this for madden 10, but I'm not 100% sure.

Wait, what?

I just really want to avoid issues that creep up a few years into a franchise, and this seems like a likely source of issues if the play calling tendencies are set in stone. So I'd like to confirm that play calling tendencies change over time as the roster changes

Pretty sure that in one of the EA blogs they say that the CPU adjusts to its personnel.

We know that play calling at least will adjust to personnel.

This blog mentions it: http://insideblog.easports.com/archi...en-nfl-10.aspx

Wow, thanks guys! I remember reading the first part but not the second. My apologies -- I try and find this stuff out myself first, but somehow totally missed that one. Thanks again!
