Unfortunately, us coach AMD GM type players are in the major minority. We don't make up the bulk of Madden users. This game is geared to online and arcade type modes. I had intended to buy Madden this year (just as I intended last year), but after reading about the lack of GM or coach mode, they once again won't be getting a dime from me. Guess I'm stuck playing M12 until they lose their license or another company develops a non NFL game that caterers towards different types of players. It's a shame we have endure this.
