I think you are misunderstanding them, but it does have a lot to do with dynasty. Makes recruiting much more important when playing the game that way and makes your schemes and everything matter more.

EDIT: I guess you weren't misunderstanding them, but still...

If a Coach Mode was really announced, I don't see how this could be viewed as weak.

Because the show was 1 hour and 15 minutes long......

Coach mode got announced with 3 minutes left in the show.....

All the rest of the show was talking about stuff we already knew.....

Seen videos we already seen.......

Showed interviews of players that nobody really cares about. I mean hell I couldn't understand a word Fairley was saying, sounded like he had a big wad of tobacco in his mouth.

Plus they answered only 3 or 4 questions......

If a show was 80 minutes long, you would think they would have answered at least 20 or 30 questions.

Did I hear correctly that they said "weight" will actually matter? Does that mean the end of 185 pound DE's, or safeties lining up at DT? I can only hope.

Yeah that what Russ and Ben said, I hope it is true......I got tired of seeing 235 pound DEs pushing back 330 offensive tackles.

Got tired of seeing big bruising RBs and FBs solo tackled by 190 pound CBs

I just meant that it isn't anything like coaching carousel or a be the coach mode. I thought that was what you understood it to be.

Yeah, I understand. I mixed up Coach Mode with Coach Mode, if that makes sense.
