I think both could have a place. I don't see either actually making it into Madden, though.

I think the packages idea is really compelling because that's how today's NFL strategy is organized.

The problem I think Madden will have in implementing such a concept is coming up with a set of options for both sides of the ball that mimics what we see on Sunday. They haven't been able to do so for playbooks, game plans, or the current player and scheme type system, so I don't think there's reason to believe they could execute a robust package sub system.

I think an additional problem would be that they would need to be more restrictive than we might like because of how such a system could be abused in online play.

I suppose if I had to choose one, I'd choose formation subs because that's the option I think they could implement at least reasonably well, and that's the option that the sim community has been asking for year after year.
