The way to play franchise mode

There is a slider set that does this, it's called zero's sliders. They work very well, each team has a different coaching scheme, well almost, but it's good. also there is a slider set that has different sliders for each team, and it differs from human and computer. that one is dan's sliders. i use them together and have a great time. each team has it's own signature.

Nice to see how folks enjoy the 'chise differently. I just control the Browns and love seeing the changes, but from year to year.

Wait until you get to the off-season and see how tedious running 32 teams really is.

I think the idea is to control 32 teams just to access the coaching strategies, other transactions are still controlled by the cpu unless you wish to make adjustments.

Only way I play!

I let the CPU do pretty much everything for the other 31 teams and run mine. I make all picks for the 1st round of the draft and then sim all but mine.

Once in a while I make trades and adjust depth charts for CPU teams.

It's the best way to play.

Can someone provide a list of all the coaching schemes for each team?

It's only tedious if you set all teams to "User" in the franchise options menu.

If you set the other teams to "CPU" it's very similar to a "regular" franchise. They only thing the CPU doesn't do is draft players which you can sim with a button push.

So...if that's tedious good luck with college.

So do the Offensive and Defensive Aggressiveness sliders actually work? How is the offense more aggressive? Does raising the defensive slider make them blitz more? Bump and run more? Just curious as to how they work.
