I haven’t seen my QB scramble yet but I’m playing with Fitzmagic. I’m sure it’s like 19 where the scrambling is accidental. Lol

I don’t know if there’s a way around controlling a defensive player. I just leave my RE selected and he fires off at the snap of ball like he should. He may not do any special moves though.

Re: Madden 20 Coach Mode Discussion

I do not have 20 yet..but a solely coach mode player..best way on Defense I have found..is leave the MLB “highlighted” and hold the “LB” button (Xbox), the CPU will then control the MLB..because if u use DL, that highlighted DL will not use any pass rush moves..

I've been having serious audio stuttering issues so I have not really sunk my teeth into the game yet. I'm going to try to test read option plays to see how they work in 20'. In 19' the qb kept the ball EVERYTIME on option plays and never gave the ball to the RB regardless of coverage so it's a big concern for me. The only way to get around not controlling defensive players (Or holding buttons on D) is to slow sim "jump to next play". The problem with that is you don't choose which defensive play is run (probably chooses one of the coach's suggestions though)

That’s a great option but it seems to never fail, since that has been introduced to the game, that at some point I’ll lose the ability to exit the sim and get stuck in CPU vs CPU. So, I just deal with one of my DLinemen not using his special moves.

I have, in 19, done offense only games and left the Sim speed at normal so I don’t get trapped in the sim and can still follow what happens on the drive in real time.

SN: I HATE how the default sim speed is now FAST

Re: Madden 20 Coach Mode Discussion

I believe last good year for coach mode was m16. I heard some improvements were made for m19. I would really like to see some games with 9min qrts on youtube to get a better feel for things than just someone posting a few minutes of divided up footage.

I want to know what coach mode is all about too.

You set it to whatever it takes to get that 120 total plays or so. Dependent on how fast you call plays and how much time you take at the line etc.

I’m loving it especially since they removed all the community picks etc.

I start by going into schemes and scrolling through to see which one is highest fit for my O and D. Those becomes my schemes for the CFM. For my temp MIA CFM they are Vertical Zone Run for O and 4-6 for D. Then I go through all of the teams to find one that runs the same schemes to change my playbook to the same as theirs. In M19 and now M20 that was DAL. For D it’s just because they have the 4-6 set since there’s no 4-6 playbook.

I use a concept based method for calling plays. I go into concepts and get the run, quick, medium, deep, RPO scheme with the most plays in each and ONLY call plays the fit those 5 schemes. For my vertical zone run MIA team that means on O I only run Inside Zone, Slant, Smash, Verticals and RPO Alert plays.

On D it’s Zone Blitz 3 Deep, Man Blitz and Cover 3 though when I return from this weekend trip I may expand that to 5 like my O.

I use suggestions on both O and D and call plays that fit those 8 schemes.

Very realistic outcomes. Just wish MIA wasn’t so bad. Lol

I may be in the minority with this, but is there an option to sim plays on one side of the ball but still watch them from broadcast cam?

I want to play the offensive side of the ball, but I’d like the CPU to control the defensive side of the ball. I wouldn’t mind calling the defensive play calls (could take it or leave it) but I do want to at least watch the defensive plays - which I’m not sure I can do in sim mode, right?
