I've been playing Madden a long time, and I am very good at it, as I assume many of you are.

The past few years on offense, I have always pressed the ask madden button and picked from the three plays shown in an effort to eliminate any chance of me abusing certain plays and to widen my array of plays used. I feel this makes the game more challenging. And while I don't like running a draw on 3rd and 18, if you watch football on Sunday, you know that's usually the call most coaches are making.

With that in mind, I love the gameflow addition because it allows me to put in all the plays for the situations but allow the computer to make the call, adding to the difficulty.

The only issue I have is on defense because I feel the only way to play D on Madden for the PS3 is to constantly sit back in a zone and control your LB for plays over the middle. That's the only success I've had in making any sort of defensive stops.

I can't be the only one who uses Ask Madden as a way to enhance the difficulty can I? I think Gameflow is basically programming your own ask Madden, but improving it based on how you play. In that regard, I think it works.

I like it. I was playing a close game that came down to the last few seconds and the coach actually yells at you to hurry when the clock is running with a less than a minute. I thought that it was pretty cool.

I have been doing the same thing as the OP for the past few years because I already know all the plays in the Chargers playbook and i know which ones i am going to call inn every situation.

With game flow I can set up the game plan with those plays and assign the priority for them but still get to use some plays that i don't call as much and see how they work. Now I'm not going to have the text box on screen because that's annoying.

Turned it off before I even played one game... Wont try it. dont want the A.I calling plays fro me... Its part of the game to call the plays that work for you.. My biggest problem with it as a new feature is it can be turned off.. I just feel when your trying to make the game better or great the new features should be everything everyone wants.. And the fact that you can turn it all off just shows that EA IMO doesnt have much confident it their "New Feature"

Disagree with that assement. There is no way you will ever get everyone to agree to the merits of any one feature. People like options and don't like to be pigeonholed to specific criteria. Options are good.

Gameflow... definitely the big "gimmick" of the year.

I generally hate or disagree with the creation or implementation of almost everything they "add" to the game yearly, however, Gameflow I might actually use.

I've got my game to the point of where I can run most any offensive play with good efficiency, and can lockdown most opponents offensively with 3-5 plays defensively.

So my defensive gameflow plan will probably only have one, maybe two plays per scenario, but I might actually dig my teeth into coming up with an actual offensive gameplan now instead of just asking Madden.

My use of gameflow probably won't be the intended use, as I'll basically only be using it to keep from having to go through the menus to find the handful of plays I use or to find a recent plays menu, but at least I'll be using it lol.

Re: Post here if you like Gameflow

at first i didnt. now after a few demo games and goin in learning how to use it and setting it up with my own plays, i can see that i will probably be using it in my online lgs. i feel more pregame strategy goes into it which creates a better in game expierince for me. plus the option is there in game to jump into the playbook myself. big plus
