NCAA Football 12 Developer Chat on EA Sports Live, Coach Mode Announced

So an actual coach "mode" like a dynasty mode hasn't been announced, its just a new broadcast camera angle right?

If true, the thread title is very deceiving

I don't understand what this coach mode everyone talks about is. When I hear coach mode I think of you calling the plays, setting up the depth charts, recruiting, etc., but the CPU runs all the plays while you watch.

From my understanding, That's essentially what they've implemented. NCAA hasn't had a formal coach mode for a while now, but what you could do is turn on the Auto-pass last year, and play as a coach that way. Now it looks like they've polished it up more, but not much else.

Don't think of it as a different mode, like dynasty or RTG, but strictly as an in game "mode".

The Coach Mode a lot of us are talking about, is sort of a Career Mode. Play as a Coach, manage your team, and with success you can move on to better jobs.

Exactly, I saw "Coach mode announced" in the title and almost had a heart attack because I thought it would be a RTG coach mode (start as assistant, work your way up)

Thats pretty much what we would have with this and Coaching Carousel, right? Or are you guys wanting to be coordinators then HC's, and so on?
