FYI, True Coach Mode Being Patched Into M13, Will You Use It?

Pretty sure the option to have the QB throwing his own ball has ALWAYS been in the game. I thought this "True Coach Mode" was supposed to control the entire game while users only pick the plays.

i always thought the cpu never threw the ball on his own in CCM but the settings on the main screen were for play now games.

This is the thing I hate about having traded the game in, now I have to wait for others to clarify stuff for me, lol. Here is a post from the patch thread where someone that uses true coach mode in NCAA13, NOT JUST CPU QB, states that a true coach mode has been patched into M13.

I play in coach-only leagues for NCAA, and we were looking forward to doing the same for Madden. When you go to My Madden, go to settings and turn "coach mode" on. This will allow you to call offensive and defensive plays and just watch the CPU run them. The QB will be controlled by the CPU as well, and will throw the ball instead of sitting in the pocket waiting for you to take control of him. I set up a test online league to check this out, so it should work for all modes I believe. Thank GOD they patched this in!!!!!

Need others with the game to confirm this as well though.

I did as he said. My CPU did throw on his own in CCM offline but I'm not sure if this was the CPU QB you guys are referring too. There is no setting for coach mode in the CCM settings, only when you first start the game. The settings that would affect play now.

Do they ever scramble though?

True Coach Mode being available for online CCM is the determining factor on whether I buy this game.

So, if we can get 2 friends to start an online CCM and turn on coach mode and then play a head-to-head game, let us know if the users can only call plays. Thanks....hell I guess you both play the CPU and just report back with the findings...

I first want to get conformation that it is in fact a TRUE coach mode in play now and offline CCM because there is a chance them it just might not be added to online until Oct 19th with that other stuff.

Though I don;t have the game, the key to knowing IF it is in TRUE coach mode, is if the camera is in broadcast. In the past, the auto QB coach mode would still be in the traditional game play view, where as this new TRUE coach mode is supposed to be in broadcast cam because we are watching the game play, NOT manually controlling it.
