I see hundreds of threads smashing Ask Madden 2.0..

I posted a thread about a week ago that was closed in which Pasta Padre game his impressions of gameflow. On his first drive, gameflow called two straight reverses to Houshmandzadeh that he had to check out of. You could even see it on one of the vids that he posted. Some noted that he hadn't set up his tendencies yet, but every team is supposed to have a defult gameplan and two reverses in a row isn't a good look no matter how you slice it.

With that being said, I like most of the gameplay that I've seen. I just wish it would have been augmented by some other updates that would have increased the replay value.

A good reviewer who looks for sim play.

Thanks for the write up, Bill.

From what I understand you can, but if the default setting has you passing 3 times from the 1 Yard line. I think I'll stick to calling my own plays like I have since Tecmo Bowl!!

I actually may use gameplan/gameflow to set up my playbook for certain situations. This hopefully will make it feel more like a real game and speed up games a bit.

i still don't understand why this feature should cut the play time. I usually need not even a second to choose a play. Just the first weeks after release i could need a little more time.

Are we really calling 3 paragraphs worth of impressions a review now? I have to tell Bill he doesn't need to work hard on his actual reviews anymore

Better than anything else out of E3 so far.

Absolutely. It's great seeing how he and the other guy appreciated Madden's gameplay this year.
