Do not tell me they removed the Open Practice feature from Dynasty Mode? Am I just missing it somewhere?

With all the new playbooks and plays, how am I suppose to practice with them with my Dynasty/Teambuilder team roster w/out a practice mode in Dynasty?

This is a big deal to be able to practice with recruits/transfers who just signed to the team to test out how they move, throw, etc before I play with them in a game. Also, having a Open Practice/Mini Games in Dynasty Mode is a good way to pass idle time while waiting for your online Dynasty commissioner to advance the week Am I just missing it somewhere?

Yeah, as far as I can tell, those are the only 3 states.

So it's probably been mentioned at some point but haven't seen it.

Is the wishbone offense still in the game or not?

I have always played my football games without grabbing control of receivers with the ball in the air. This game keeps screaming at me with button prompts under receivers when I throw them the ball.

My question - am I supposed to be pressing the button they prompt? I haven't really noticed that much of a difference, but I don't want my guys to just not fight for the ball because I was supposed to have an extra button press.

The button prompts are recommendations, but no, you can go against it and still be right. All three are generally pretty straight forward when you should be using them though.

-50/50 balls are the normal triangle/Y go up and get it instances
-About to get wrecked when you catch it? Do an X/A catch
-Have open field when catching? Do a square/X catch.

The Wishbone formation is in the game, but there is no Wishbone offense. You can do a custom playbook.

When I play a game in PLAY NOW, will I be able to play at neutral site locations including the bowl game stadiums?
