Will you use the Gameflow feature?

[labguy]

The Madden demo is right around the corner. A couple of OS staff members had a nice piece today about the demo and it seemed that the Gameflow addition may nor may not be well recieved. EA put a lot of development time into this feature. So the questions is will you use it? Or should they have focused on something else?

Seems kinda obvious.....since everyone is always complaining about "realism" in football games, why wouldn't you use it? It's how the pros run plays in games on Sunday. The coaches don't sit on the sidelines with a book of 350-500 plays to choose from and flip through it during the game. They create a game plan, execute it and adjust on the fly if needed. That's realistic. Yes, yes, yes!

From the Madden roundtable thread:

"if you are a veteran of the series, I have a feeling you are going to hate the amount of control that the feature takes out of your hands -- even if you decide to implement a gameplan. "

If this is true I'll probably not use gameflow.

I will probably give it a try and see if I like it.

Yes, I hate calling plays. It takes too long.

I'll give it a try and see if i like it, but most likely stick to calling my own plays.

I'll give it a try. But a big part of playing the game, to me, is calling my own plays.

Same reason I turn off API in The Show.

Re: Will you use the Gameflow feature?

Probably not. I like selecting my plays by Play Type.

All this sounds like is a glorified "ask Madden" where you only get 1 play choice. They should let you make your gameplan that shows up in the ask madden section then i might use it

Re: Will you use the Gameflow feature?

tbh, that will probably be the 1st thing i turn off.

Maybe in a franchise, but online.. hell naw. If it's anything like ask coach, people's stuff will get rocked online.

Are you being serious right here or sarcastic? That's EXACTLY what the devs claim you can do in Madden 11.

The OP's question can be easily misunderstood, IMO. Gameplan and Gameflow are not the same thing. You can set up a Gameplan and select plays just from your scripted set of plays without using Gameflow. Gameflow just means your offensive coordinator(CPU) selects the play from the loaded Gameplan.

I plan on using created Gameplans for my team and CPU controlled teams in my offline franchise. However, I will most likely be selected plays from my Gameplan online and off with my team, not Gameflow.

So you get multiple plays to choose from and if you dont like any of them you can go to the full playbook easily

Re: Will you use the Gameflow feature?

I'm going to try hard to like it. Madden just takes to long to play for me so I hope Gameflow is the answer for us who don't have hours and hours a day for games.

Re: Will you use the Gameflow feature?

Honestly, who really uses their entire playbook anyway. When I go into a game I usually have 30-35 plays that Im going to use depending on my opponent. There are some plays that I don't even touch...

To me this seems like a feature thats convient to casual gamers or those who don't like or don't know how to call their own plays...
