If I remember correctly, it was something like this in Madden 09 as well where you could only adjust one set of sliders (can't remember if it was the cpu or human).

Just a demo thing.

Gameflow is a little more realistic and based on what an NFL coaching staff does. They prepare for a game and usually map out anywhere between 15-30 plays with various formations and use that gameplan on game day. In theory, Gameplan setup is basically making you take certain plays to formulate that weekly gameplan like an NFL team. These are the plays they would have worked on the most in practice and should be used. NFL teams sometimes will break away from that gameplan which is why you can choose to do so in the game.

To me, that's pretty realistic based on real life football practice and weekly planning. I just hope it isn't extremely time consuming on a game to game basis. Sometimes I only have time to play one game a day.

Now, for the love of GOD, can someone please tell me if you can do two player coop in the demo?!

You guys never answer this ever!!! How dare you guys give us a new copy of madden where collinsworth calls gus "tom"!!! Really? Man I know I could get banned for attacking the poor developers but they are insulting me and my intelligence! Put some effort in please!

Please read the thread, folks.

Collingsworth calling Gus Tom is in the demo, but not in the final build. Ian mentioned this on Twitter a few days ago.

Also, I'm 48 yrs old, probably more than double the age of some people on here, and I'm having no problems with strategy pad. I stumbled a few times out of the gate, but if I can handle it, every one else should be able to handle it.

Thank God, I thought it was going to be like Madden 09 all over again. Thanks for responding.

He still consults.

They flew out to his house last year during the 1st weekend of games.

I can make anywhere from 4-8 adjustments per play, especially if i decide to come out in a base formation and make adjustments at the line of scrimmage the way a real defense does depending on the reads and mismatches. It was difficult before, now it is impossible.

and you can forget about individual adjustments on defense as well. maybe this doesn't bother you as much as it does me, but for someone who derives almost all his football playing pleasure from the x's and o's, this is killing me.
