Update 9/29/10 (Gameplanning is broken...)
SAD DAY today as I was just notified by TODEM that the gameplanning is broken and it is no longer possible to post gameplans for both teams......pitiful EA just pitiful.
Gameplanning and Gameflow (Optional BTW)
One of this years most interesting features is Gameflow. This feature when utilized correctly can really authenticate your game to feel as close to an NFL game or as close to Tecmo Super Bowl as you want it to be. While Gameplanning can be very useful it created a major flaw which is the CPU playcalling. We have all seen the infamous "Engage Eight" insanity blitz or the Double corner blitzs that can ruin a game by allowing big plays which is why gameflow is basically useless unless you have planned out a proper gameplan beforehand. Below is a quick tutorial of how best to proceed when gameplanning. You are going to want to create a total of 64 gameplans (Offense and defense for each team). ***One thing I touched on briefly in the video but should have went more into detail on is which plays to add in the place of the ones you take out. You should replace the Defensive plays with base defenses like "2 man Under" and "Cover 2". For offense you should replace the plays you take out with plays like Slip screens and easy crossing patterns***

Basic Overview of 32 Team NFL game planning
You will be making 64 gameplans. It is basically the same principle so all you would do is create and offensive gameplan for each team by taking all of the Verticals out of and all of the WR corners plays.
For the Defenses create a gameplan for each team and just remove the engage eight plays, zone blitzes, and corner blitzes, and you are good to go.
This is by far the most realistic way to enjoy madden and I am very happy I decided to do it. It will probably take about a full day.
Please if you have ANY questions at all PM me and I will do whatever I can to help you get everything straight.
Here is a list of all of the teams that use the 3-4 defense:
Updates*
8/23 Custom Speed/12-15 minute Slider Set Finished.
Ok so after fixing all of the things that I screwed up 2 days ago I felt like I needed to appeal to a wider variety of gamers to meet a wider variety of play styles. This slider set is now a custom universal slider set which mean that the game time can be anywhere from 12-15 minutes the gamespeed can be whichever one you like best, and the Speed threshold can for best results be set at 0, 60, or 100.
New Madden Players/New Slider Users
First of all I just wanted to apologize because I assumed that everyone was aware of how to enter all of the settings and how to use the sliders and I was hearing the question "where do the human sliders go" a lot. To enter the human sliders go to My Madden>My Settings>Player Skill>Scroll over to custom>press X to reveal the Passing, Rushing, Pass Defense, and Rush defense sliders. For the Cpu Settings go to My Madden>My settings>CPU skill The human sliders are first and the CPU sliders are second so it goes like this HUM/CPU.
Posting Box Score Stats
A lot of people have been messaging me and asking me how I post stats with that box score stat. All you have to do is go to this link: http://dynasties.operationsports.com/index.php
Once you're there scroll down and on the left side you will see "football NFL" then click box score. Once inside enter your stats then hit "generate table" and then it will give you a long code that you copy in to your post on the forums and Voila!! Instant Box Score!!
House Rules
Just a few tips to help maximize your game.
Note: The Run game is going to be hard at first just like in real life so you cant give up on the run early in the game. If your opponent is running all over you your going to have to stack the line and put 8 guys in the box.
Here's a video with an example run with commentary:

House Rules
Just a few tips to help maximize your game.
- Kickoffs-The kick return middle play with one return man is an exploit, the cpu can't handle it and you can bring back at least one kickoff a game so I would consider this basically cheating the computer so I would not call this play.
- Run game-You absolutely cannot give up on the run or you will be in trouble!! there have been games where I was like 9-14 and was struggling to run the ball, but I stuck with it and ended up around 19 for 96, You need to be consistent with your gameplan, just like a real offensive coordinator is, just because you get hit in the backfield doesn't mean running the ball is to hard.
- Pass Blocking-In the real NFL if you can't deal with the pass rush you need to alter your gameplan, and that is exactly what you are going to have to do here. If you cant handle the CPU pass rush, leave a tight end and/or a running back in to block and run shorter passing routes. If that doesn't work then run screens and misdirection plays. The CPU pass rush may be tough but it is not unbeatable and once you have the defense on their heels, you can look to spread the field!
Note: The Run game is going to be hard at first just like in real life so you cant give up on the run early in the game. If your opponent is running all over you your going to have to stack the line and put 8 guys in the box.
Just played with the updated slow sliders. AMAZING! I'm getting great games. Don't touch the running sliders, its SUPPOSED to be hard! Motion your receiver, tight end, back to get a extra blocker. These sliders aren't meant to "Madden vets," they're meant for football vets! Sorry if you can't get a 10 yard run with 8 men in the box any more!-Steven123
