I'm sure the other buttons will be reserved for something like player specific packages and such.

*sigh*

If it's like last year, you will be able to bluff your play. You pick the play you want, and as long as you hold the button down you can continue to move the cursor around in order to confuse the other guy. When you release the button, the play called will be the one you were on when you first pushed the button.

This is a better system than what you described because it makes for more uncertainty. If done properly your opponent has no way to know which play you have called.

I thought I saw somewhere where they said an enhancement this year is different windows will be mapped to the face buttons - maybe it's only in two player. But I agree w/you wholeheartedly; that they evolved the 2-player game so much last gen then pretty much threw a lot of those advances away next gen in favor of a prettier but far less practical interface was head scratching to say the least

I also think there is an option to bluff playart so you can show multiple routes and such when at the line.
