The question I keep asking myself is whether Gameflow and the Game Planning features are a revolution in Madden NFL 11 or just another gimmick which is sure to go by the wayside in future years not unlike Weapons, the Vision Cone, and any number of other features.

It's not like we haven't been given a bevy of reasons to believe Gameflow isn't indeed another gimmick.

Read the article man, I give my full answer in there.

cliff notes - Yes, but only because there's no reasoning behind it. The move towards more realistic play-calling is a welcome sight in my mind.

Gimmick.....for now anyway. Right now it is inconsistent and buggy. They don't pay attention to what down it is, how many yards you got to go for the 1st or where you are at on the field.

Several times I have seen them call out bizzare plays like a reverse when it is 3rd and 18 and I am on my own 10 yard line. Or call deep outs when it is 3rd and 1. And on defense it is even worse. They will call 2 DB blitz when the offense is in a 5 WR set.

It is as though the cpu can careless what plays you ranked as a priority, they going to call what they want to call.

I would call it evolutionary. EA will track it's use with the telemetry and their numbers will probably tell them it's being used a great deal by the majority (casual gamers) . I think we'll see it again next year, fleshed out further.

It certainly makes play calling quicker and so far most of the time the plays are right on.

Seems like a glorified Ask Madden to me.

Ask Madden/Corso isn't a bad thing, but it shouldn't be touted as this major breakthrough in gaming.

I think it's somewhere in the middle. It's an improved version of Ask Madden, but it's not revolutionary IMO. I think though that if they improve it over the next few years, it could be a good feature.
