Flow
allows players to pick plays like a true NFL coach. By matching
plays to situational game plans, plays can be tailor-picked automatically for
each down. In the game settings screen you can choose a playcall style:
Game
Flow
or Conventional.
You can even change your Game
Flow
to be heavy on run plays, heavy
on pass plays, or balanced between the two. On defense, you can be
conservative, aggressive, or balanced.
ConvenTional
You may also choose to call plays in the traditional
Madden NFL
manner, or
switch back and forth between the two Play Calling styles. You can filter your
plays by Formation or Play Type, or view the most recently called plays. You
can also make substitutions, flip plays and change Personnel Packages within
the Conventional Play Calling style.

You can call a no huddle offense at the conclusion of the previous play by
holding the x Button on the GamePad. This will rush everyone to the line to
repeat the previous play. Holding the a Button on the GamePad after the play
will rush everyone to the line to spike the ball and stop the game clock.
