Warning: No off mode on getting fired in Franchise Mode

[SouthernWarrior]

For those of us doing rebuilds, do NOT click on the GM scenario that talks about you being close to getting fired. Even if you have Coach Firing "CPU ONLY" or "OFF" in settings, Andre on Twitter said the coach firing setting does not apply to scenarios, just overall performance at the end of a season.


In other words, there is no workaround to "Getting Fired" in Franchise unless you just skip the GM Scenario.

This is going to be an incredible headache for a lot of fans who aren't aware of this and spend hours on rebuilds, so want to give people a heads up since EA is not fixing it and in fact does not see it as a bug.

It was nice of you to post this. Hopefully word gets round.

Thank you!

It's incredibly stupid how they decided to word it, and honestly a dumb idea in the first place. Why would you want a scenario where every single game is a must win .. or the game is over? Even when I get fired I simmed for weeks on end and never got offered another job, shocker bc I was a first year coach.


Even in theory, if you make your goal "win 4 games" there should be no scenario where a first year coach gets fired on a clearly rebuilding team.

I’m trying to decide if I will miss the player interactions enough if I go with Owner Mode instead. Like I’ve said, I like the press conferences and those things but I do think they’re probably repetitive and not very deep.

For what it’s worth, I just tested this. Got fired by the Bears and went to create a new coach. It gave me the option to take over the Bears with their current new coach or create my own. I chose current new coach and much to my pleasant surprise it was Ron Rivera, who is exactly who I’d have chosen to hire. Coincidence for sure but I basically have no issue with this as long as I can just play as the team I want.

I'm close to getting fired as the Lions HC, so if I get fired I can create my same coach and take over again as the Lions HC? Does it take you right to create a coach?
