    Coach Mode Underrated

    How many of you guys think coach mode is underrated and tell why it is. I'm about to start up an offline one. So in coach mode is it harder to win using a powerhouse . Please give me some feedback.

    Re: Coach Mode Underrated

    Coach mode and CPU mode are a roster editor's dream. I have learned so much using these modes this year. Last year I edited ratings and tested and played USER-CPU games only. That actually hurt my understanding of how the ratings actually work. This year due to the problems and issues as a result of bad tuning and testing by EA in regards to USER-CPU mode I have been playing Coach mode and CPU mode exclusively. I'm loving recruiting and building my team and also enjoying allowing the CPU to take of the gameplay aspects on the field. It makes dynasty mode more of a challenge. I'm not one of those guys who would by happy winning 6 straight NCs with San Jose State or UMASS, but hey that's just me.

        I love coaching in NFL head coach but haven't really got into it in NCAA, just not a fan of the angle the camera is, is there a way to change it?

              I think I'll give this a shot if there is a way to change the camera, but for those who already do this do you have a slider set you recommend and sliders?

                I used to feel the same way, so I definitely understand you.

                No. We are still waiting on that broadcast camera for NCAA.

                  Yeah another knock I have against it is that your players won't call audibles but I could do it if I wanted just think it would add the immersion if your players could.

                    If I'm not mistaken I think a QB with high Awareness does call audibles. I know I see them making the signals from time to time.

                      Oh ok that would be pretty cool and makes sense I always play with memphis who doesn't have great QB so why I never see it. BTW do you have any rules against recruiting?

                        I will tell you this, change every team audible. Default audibles in this game is BS and they will call audibles that makes no sense what so ever.

                            Underrated nothing... I'm using Sydeburnz's coaching sliders and I'm now in the 2021-2022 season. And now, after years and years of building and working, I've taken UMass from a 2-win team to the point where I'm a few games away from the National Championship. Recruiting your players, piecing together your playbook... I think it's a blast.

                            I only play coach mode and RTG -- the conventional game doesn't quite interest me at this point.
