Well, that's not necessarily true about the no big announcements thing from Madden. They've announced some pretty major improvements as well this year, but the problem for them is that ncaa got to announce them first. Locomotion, Dual stick, blocking AI, WR awareness, and Game Flow are some pretty big announcements. Could be something bigger coming, in fact I expect that, and it seems like they've been reserved so far, but they still have that extra month too. Also they usually reserve most of their features for after E3.

Game Flow is a better version of Ask Madden, if you want it to be, or if you want to run the default offense. But if you take the time, it can be 100% your gameplan. You get to choose set up plays for all specific situations. So actually you are still calling the play, but you just get to set it up pre game instead of in game. It's not ask madden at that point, you just already selected what plays YOU would call in that situation, so it takes away having to scroll through the playbook, when you know what you want to do. And if you have something else in mind you can always pull up the full playbook. It actually sounds like a PERFECT feature for the no huddle offense of ncaa.
