The first two videos are new..thanks for the post OP.

The only thing I don't understand fully about Gameflow...is how will it work when playing a buddy on the same system? I don't think they will have the play just pop up on the screen and explain how to run it....

Does anyone no how it will work?

I'm not sure if the footage in these videos is from a newer build from what we have seen in the other previews, however it looks really good. I've been skeptical thus far, but the movements in the videos were definitely an improvement over Madden 10.

I really do love this feature. I feel like I do this every year anyways. I always go through EVERY playbook and see which has the formations and plays that I like. Then I memorize where they are in the playook, and go to practice and try em out till i know my options for the play.

But now EA gives me the oppurtunity to actually set up my gameplan which is big for me, I'm a big playbook guy, when I play Madden I play to read the defense, confuse, and catch my opponent off guard. Now I have the ability to set up a gameplan online. Great.

quick question.
Does the "Coach" will only call for plays on my gameplan? or he will have those as preference but still call others plays.

example
if i only use 1 play for each situation, those are the only plays he will call?

I hope they still use the whole playbook but have preference from the one i chose instead.

otherwise you are only using 15 plays per game or less

15 for 2nd and short
15 for 2nd and long

This is awesome. I'm totally using this feature to it's fullest! Gameplanning each week of my online franchise will be a lot lot lot of fun!

I'd much rather plan my strategy before the game and execute during it. I've had dozens of times in practice mode where I found something I loved and forgot about it the next day. Now, I can instantly adjust my base gameplan and simply execute on game day.

Awesome feature, EA. Gameplan will turn gameflow into a beast.
