I just want to play offense for both teams in franchise

Disconnecting a second controller gives you the “please connect controller to continue message” that cannot be bypassed without reconnecting the controller.

EA is really concerned about letting you play your franchise how you’d like to, apparently.

Curious about that as the suggestions seems to me quite "weird" (without meaning it negative). What's the background of playing it like this - just the fun to play offense? When do you regard a game as won if you play both sides at the same time?


Only playing one side (offense/defense) seems logical to me, playing both teams in the same game is a new idea for me

For me, it mostly comes down to the fact that I don’t like the way that the AI plays offense. I’d rather try to take both team’s offense over and see who comes out on top in any game. But in franchise I would like to make the GM and coaching decisions for my one team. I don’t need to have house rules if I know I’m trying to win the game no matter who I’m controlling. And whatever happens, happens. Plus I get to use other teams and it doesn’t get stale as fast using just my one playbook and team over and over. That’s just me.

Unfortunately the last madden you have been able to do this with is Madden 12 on PS3. I agree, was my favorite thing to do.

How do you handle defensive play calling? What do you when a turnover happens in real time? What about kicks and returns?

Simple defensive players I let the coach pick them by default as soon as I kick or punt I have for other controller ready to return it next to me, same as a turnover it isn’t that hard I’ve been doing this since madden 98! I’ve played every game in week 1 and almost week 2 already this year. I just had a 38-36 fun game titans bearing Seattle. Seattle missed a 2 point conversion Wightman 30 seconds left it’s fun! And I don’t care who wins the game I pretend it’s my own world and I’m the broadcaster

You can do it with two controllers if you only play as one player(superstar mode)….so you have to have a player selected instead of a coach for that team, and have full onfield control turned off, so there is no way to control any other player or the full team, and you just switch controller for each player you control….it is a pain, it would be so simple for them to set this up for just one controller, would also be a nice option for The Show to have
