Logic behind Game Flow Purpose

[booker21]

another thing it bugs me with gameflow is when playing Defense, it only shows me my selected assignment instead of showing me the whole defense play art.

I mean, as a team sports i need to be aware what are my teammates assignments too.
If i have deep support, of my SS will go blitzing, etc..

I think they should add the play desgin, as we see it on the playbook, right where we have the option to use gameflow and Open full Playbook.

Full playbook option, and remove the automatic play art from the in game.

Can't you just go to controller setting and turn on play art?

1. I said the coordinator should give opponent tendencys(what real coordinators spend the whole game looking to exploit). The coordinator in this game explains only how to run the play it picked for you.

2. You proved my point for me. If they dont know the old system, how does learning a new system thats added a button press to do the same thing equate to simpler ? The left stick was just as easy to click as the left pad. What got simpler ? They consolidated some stuff to the d-pad at the expense of taking more time to input your call. Are you inputting adjustments any faster or easier with this new system ? Is it really worth the hype ?

Random means random. If you are rating the plays, the CPU is calling plays based on your ratings, it's not random, it's based on YOUR RATINGS.

If the CPU isn't calling the plays you like in the right situations, simply re-rating your plays will do the trick. Problem is that people must now learn how to rate their plays so they are called in the right situation. This is a NEW MADDEN SKILL that hardcore players will master, casual players will shun, and we'll end up in the same place we always do by this time next year.

This ^, other than Tombsong, this was the only other thing that made sense. People seem to forget some of the simplest things.

If it's 3rd and 1, and the offense comes out in 21 personnel, which is 2 WR's 1TE (as that other guy alluded to) and my "Normal" puts me in 4-3 Cover 2, that is a good defense to be in as it takes away the quick short reads, puts seven in the box to stop the run, and has decent deep coverage. That's what I'd want to be in for a short yardage situation.

Aside from that, that's what audibles are for, just like on M10, guy chooses 21 personnel but, oh crap he comes out with that personnel group as if its 5 WR, you audible to a defense better suited to handle that situation, its basic football knowledge. Where has the common sense gone around here?

CPU opponent calls plays only from the gameplan? or they use the whole playbook?
Does the CPU change their gameplan as well? or they always use default gameplan?
