This seems ok for someone to help another player, but can't see someone playing also going through this data on there tablet.

Do I have to use a Surface Tablet? Ahhhhhhh man.

Also probably not going to be useful for me since I'll probably ignore all the data and just go for passing plays, even if it's 3rd and inches.

Do people actually care this much about madden to be super hardcore in to it like this. Seems laughable to me really when you think about your normal gamer trying to use this and being all in to it.

I guess the neat thing would be for local play, one can look at the screen and the other at the tablet for hiding their plays. If you're into that kind of thing.

As someone who gave up on madden because I could never find the correct defense to stop people even when I knew what they were going to do, this seems really cool. Almost gives it a classic TECMO Bowl Run 1 type aspect.

I hear CoachGlass's defensive plays shatter really easy.

@cloudyimpulse: They told me it works with all tablet devices.

So I assume this would work on PS4 as well then too?

I don't see how this would add much, anyone half decent at madden will probably recognize what their opponent is doing- or likes to do- in a given situation.

In fact an actually useful feature would be to bring back the defensive assignment feature so you can get your match ups right and take out their big threats.

Too bad the defensive secondary A.I. is still shit, but hey, priorities.

Is he saying "Coach Class" the whole time? That looks like a cool idea, but is there really enough time between the end of the play, to set down your controller, grab your tablet (or phone?) and go through all those options before the next play starts?

I just wish when I have 'Ask Madden' selected that the game would give me three choices to chose from instead of one or two. There's just too many issues surrounding the gameplay right now I could care less about what tacky thing they're trying to add to the experience.

@cloudyimpulse: No, smart glass is a feature of the xbone, maybe they will do something with Vita.
