Coach mode exists in madden

One HUGE thing that I don't think we'll ever see due to the amount of time and money it would take, but it would be awesome to replay any season with all of the correct teams and players a la OOTP.

I have never played football manager but having an interface like ootp would be great. Access to it on your phone would add so much to the experience. Shoud only have to be on game system to play the actual games.

Well, My league mode from 2K has a lot of customization, which is great. In case EA wants to take smaller steps, here are some things that would improve franchise mode significantly:

- Find a trade
- Create/Edit/import/Share draft classes: This feature would be sooo awesome
- Statistical tracking
- Assistant coaches. This was a great feature back in Madden 08, maybe a bit too complicated for casual gamers. That's why they eliminated it.

I think they did a great job this year making Franchise mode not feel like a bunch of friendly games.

Because there isn't demand to invest the hours into it. I loved the Head Coach games but there's a reason they only made two. Not enough market appeal.

You'll get plenty of people on OS talking about wanting coach mode. However, in the grand scheme of things it's an extreme minority of gamers who would actually play that type of mode without losing interest quickly.

The reason I found these forums was due to the HC series as this was the only site with in depth info on that game. Hence the reason you'll see coach mode threads on OS forums. All the people who want that mode are already here and it's too small a number for developers to really care about.

Yeah you got cats on here acting like coach mode is a huge demand. People got mad at me in some thread when I told em straight up, coach mode is so far down on EA's list of priorities. Like they're a minority within the minority that is the sim community.

I can see coach mode not being the most highly demanded feature, but the stats speak for themselves....

They need to put in/ invest a lot more time into franchise mode. I for one think they need to do a better job of differentiating player/ coach/ and owner mode. Additionally, they need to separate online and offline franchise and build to each others strengths.
