Confirmed in the blog that you can basically replace "Ask Madden" with your Gameplan. So you can put all your favorite plays in the same spot. Isn't that what you want?

What bootzilla is saying is that if you use gameplan without gameflow, you would have a playbook to pick plays from yourself, just like always. The difference is that the playbook will only contain the 15 plays for that particular situation that you setup pregame.

For instance, it's 1st and 10. You open your playbook and it only has the 15 plays that you selected for 1st and 10. Run the play, then it's 2nd and 6. You open the playbook and only the 15 plays for 2nd and 6 are available, and so on.

In this way the game isn't picking your plays. Gameflow is where the AI picks plays for you. But if you use gameplan WITHOUT gameflow, it doesn't. That is what he meant.

Not a playbook, a gameplan. A play book is organized based on packages and formations.

The more this guy talks the less he says---
How dare he even mention the "hard core "player, he's been screwed every step of the way, the one thing that this game never favors is the hard core "sim" player.

Just because you are a kool-aid drinker doesn't mean you have to insult the guy's opinion. He makes valid points also.
