Indeed they do change their plan. But they aren't using a new game plan.

I am not sure you really understand the term gameplan and the context it is used in this instance.

Yeah not being able to use the personel packages, takes something away for sure.

I'll try it, but not sure what to think just yet.

If they pull in plays that are not part of their original gameplan, or scrap what plays WERE in the original plan, then they are in essence changing their gameplan...not rocket science, so what's so difficult to understand?

That's really not what they are doing. Again, I don't think you really get the concept of a gameplan in this context.

If you want to make it out so I am the one who has difficulty understanding the concept, that's fine with me.

Personally I see where they were going with it, and I don't have a problem with that piece of it.

The sub thing, is big to me, that's off-putting.

But I'll wait till I actually use it, before I declare it broken or a gimmick. Maybe that's just me.

Gameflow/Gameplan is beginning to look like another feature that I will never use.

It is also fairly clear that Gameflow/Gameplan is here to stay. So unfortunately for me, the developement team will be devoting man-hours into this feature for the rest of this generation, which will only end-up syphoning resources and developement time away from other areas of the game that are more relavent to my interests.

I know its still very early, but I can't help but feel like 'in-game saves' (a feature that continues to be placed on the back-burner) was omitted this year because someone at EA thought Gameflow/Gameplan would be a viable substitute...I hope I'm wrong.

My feelings exactly. This could have been done SO much better....reminds me of last year's online franchise....half baked and fundamentally broken because of that.

Well the Gameplan is worth using sometime. But without subing it is a big hole in the gameplan feature. But hopefully in madden 12 they will add it. But It is a work in progress still.
