i tired the gameflow and thought it worked pretty good. Its better than ncaa cause u can add a gameplan for a shitload of situations. I think the gameplan will add some depth to SP games. But i fear it will turn into a repetitive process if u do it before each weeks game. If u dont do it each week then it kind of becomes pointless. I can see some value in it initially.

What would have been cool is if gameflow popped up a selection of plays based on the situation. Then u at least have the choice. One thing i find stupid is it doesnt show u what play u are calling until u already called it.

as for the gameplay itself, i agree with most positive comments on the gameplay. Its just like ncaa which is a good thing.

Gameplanning and Gameflow is definitely not Ask Madden 2.0 but I would never use it in a league game. Only vs the computer in franchise mode and franchise mode has received no upgrades. The only positive thing about franchise mode is that now it's actually a playable game vs the cpu.

I agree with the bolded 100%, if this was in then I would use gameflow all the time.

it's not as disappointing as I was hearing all day, but still only worthy of Madden 10.5

I think that is the consensus opinion. It feels more like a good patch to the '10 game engine than a completely new game.

You can download the PS3 Madden demo from the front page of PSN now. I'm at 8% after just a few minutes. Times like these that I love my 24M connection :D

62% haha

As far as gameflow, supposedly you only have to set your gameplan against each team once and it saves it for the next time you play them... You can then tweak it from year to year based on who comes and goes from your team or theirs.. At least thats what I read.. I haven't actually tried this yet..

37%. Flintstone Speed Internet FTL.

[MrBill]

66% and rolling.

I think with enough tweaking this game can be a legit single player experience. Which I dont think could have been said about last year's at all.

^That's good to hear. It'll be nice getting some good settings for my Chise.
