Situational Elements in Practice Mode

[Pappy Knuckles]

Practice mode needs to be fleshed out a lot more than it is right now. Not only do we not have the option to run different scenarios, we also must fumble through a menu system that requires two clicks of the touchpad just to pick another play. It's a very bare bones and inefficient mode as it currently stands. I normally just set the offense and defense to random because it's not good for much else, but that's not a great solution when you want to work on things.

The positive in all of this is that it shouldn't take a lot of changes to drastically improve it. Honestly, the majority of my beef is not being able to run situational drills (2 minute offense, down 11 points with 5 minutes left, Redzone offense and defense, etc.)

I don't think these type of fixes would take a tremendous amount of resources, but they would go a long way to making practice more functional than it is now. I don't consider the weekly practice goals for xp boosts as serving the same purpose.

Re: Situational Elements in Practice Mode

if you want to workshop your playbooks etc

you cant play both playbooks at the same time, formation subs arent possible are other things

i want to have my offence play against my defence with their respective custom playbooks with my formation subs, i then want to be able to have enough time to adjust the defence and then offence hikes the ball and adjust/repeat including audible play changes

as an aside if im in dollar 2 man under and i global adjust lbers to hook zones, even double man align doesnt spread zones evenly. better example cov 1 robber 3-4 odd, all lbers to zone, align twice, mean 2 players cover same zone annoying

this is all coach mode btw

Re: Situational Elements in Practice Mode

I agree, I'd like to see some situation practice things added. I'd like to do short yardage and long yardage and have the "random play" pick plays related to these situations so you can get real looks, but run it back multiple times and try different things against different defenses to the situation.
