Can't use multiple playbook gameplans

You won't be able to put gameplays using plays from multiple playbooks.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

If they allowed this feature, madden would be 100 times more fun next year. Wated oppurtunity by ea sports.

It would kinda be hard to play D on someone who has all the money plays. I like it more when people have to use to a variety of plays.

Yes but then on D you would have all the plays you want too. You could have 1-5-5, 1-5-5 prowl, goalline, 46, 46 bear, odd split, and any other formation and play you want

you mean you wont be able to play with multiple D' p.book i don't get it! some body clue me in holla....back

You can't use a variety of plays from different playbooks in your gameplan. It can only be one playbook of plays.

what? ON LINE against another player or franchise style..??

In any mode. you can't use more than playbook to make your gameplan from

What about offense.

You can use Multi D, as in the playbook, but you can't use multiple playbooks, as in more than 1, to make a gameplan like many people thought.

OOOHHHHH!!! sh!t you mean i could of use two p.book's at one on O' or D' this year CJ' GET THE F*CK OUT OF HERE!!!

no you cant.

i really wish they would have put this feature in the game

so whatever team we pick, we have to use their pb?

hopefully they just mean you cant use plays out of different playbooks in your gameplan thing, i still dont fully understand it so i dono but im sure they'll still let your go with different playbooks, if you had to use the same playbook as that team it would be so boring, i dono if i would play.

Yea does this mean i can't be Denver and use Dallas for my playbook? Or can you save gameplans on playbooks. If EA took this feature out to change playbooks then this is stupid.

That would be ridiculous. Your team has enough practice time to learn every formation in the game? They are really smart ._. They wouldn't do that because then there is no use for playbooks. You could use the gamplan feature, hand pick any play you want, then use that gameplan. You don't have to use the gameflow feature so you would just have plays from every single book for the current situation you are in.. 3rd and Long or 2nd and short.. whatever.. it would be way too much to defend.

No, no one said that.

In Madden 11, they have added a feature called "Gameplan." It allows you to set up to 15 plays for each situation. The situations include 1st and 10, 2nd and short, 3rd and long, 4th and short, 2 minute, and preserve clock.. That is just a few, there are something like 15+ total situations.

For the Gameplan you create, you can only use one playbook. So when you play an online game, you now select your gameplan instead of your playbook. Inside of the Gameplan, you selected one offensive/defensive playbook. You will be able to use all the plays that you put inside your gameplan.

When it is 3rd and Long, you will have an option called "Gameplan" instead of Ask Madden. It will have all 15 plays that you selected for the current situation (3rd and Long) and you select the one you want. If you don't like any of those plays, you can sort the playbook by Formation/Player/Play Type/Recent Plays just like you would this year. You would just select a play normally.

Now if you are using the GameFLOW feature, the CPU will pick from the 15 plays in your current situation (3rd and Long) then you will get a description on how to run the play [I assume you can turn this off]. You run your play, then right after the play, the CPU picks your play from your next situation.

This is how games will be divided next Madden:

Ranked - GameFlow
Ranked - No GameFlow

If you play Online, you will not be able to go back to your normal playcall screen if you have selected the GameFlow feature. They did this so there is no "de-syncing." An example of de-syncing is when Player A has "Wide" camera angle. Player B has "Standard" camera angle. When a kick is blocked, the "Wide" camera angle de-syncs from the "Standard" camera angle causing an instant disconnect. People abuse this to get better records online.

It's basically a ridiculous question to ask [The question that the guy asked the Madden Dev.]

It would be stupid to allow players to use every playbook in the game at once.

You can be any team you want, and you can use any playbook you want. You can only use one playbook at a time. Your gameplan is linked to ONE playbook.

If I make a gameplan named TACO, and I set the playbook to Denver, I will only be able to chose plays from that specific playbook.


If I was able to take plays from every book, it would be ridiculous.
I would have every single formation in the game in my book.

I wanted this to happen, but I know it never will.
