Reaelly you can turn game flow off but keep game plan on? That's not the impression I've been getting. It seemed like gameplan was simply a feature to aid the play calls for gameflow, but doesn't have any real power if you aren't using gameflow. That is, if I don't use gameflow, my only other option is to use the old school playbook.
And i realize it's not completely random, but it still is to an extent and takes much needed control away from the user. What if my opponent has both his starting safeties out and I get stuck running a dive play? Yah, I can audible, but I should have the option of selecting a play that works not only for the down and distance, but also for the specific personnel/game rhythm/time of the given situation.
