Any chance for a coach mode . . . . . .

Any chance for a coach mode where I don't have to click EVERY pitch? Even in fast play? It would be nice to do other things while the game is being played

Manage mode exists in franchise and has for many years.

Hopefully they don't follow their sports video game cousins in Madden/College Football where they water it down. Or worse, like NBA 2K by getting rid of it all together.

Last time I played it I had to actually physically click every pitch - so this is no longer?

They have Manage Mode and Quick Manage. Manage Mode you can click every pitch (or use the shortcuts to keep moving each pitch faster). Quick Manage you just work by at bat and can skip ahead quickly to half innings in the future.

But can you walk away and have the game still playing? I've played Quick play and you still have to click every pitch

Quick Manage you can simulate a half inning. You can also start a game and then go into Quick Manage and select which inning you want to simulate to (or go to the end of the game) and it will play out the results.

Why wouldn’t you just sim the game if you want to walk away and have the game complete itself though? Wouldn’t you want to also make some managerial decisions like who to put in the bullpen or any pinch hitting? Or do you just want to watch the game and not make any changes? If that’s the case just play the game but don’t select a controller to a team.

This needs added for sure.

Should be able to click a button where it's basically watching CPU vs CPU, but then you can click a button again and interact as you see fit.

I've always wondered why this wasn't a thing.

I'm a fan of the quick sim at times, but when in Manage Mode I want some freedom to just watch pitch by pitch without having to select "pitch".

You can do that though. Just go into a CPU vs CPU game and then go into select sides and make changes when you want.

Why would I want to have to do that though? That for sure is an option, but no reason there isn't an auto option until you want too step in etc.

Same with Madden/NCAA Slow Sim. I can slow sim until I want to step in by pressing B. I don't have to select sides.

Doesn’t slow sim not show the game though? I thought you guys wanted to watch the game and step in. Maybe I have it wrong since it’s been awhile since I messed around with summing in Madden/CFB.

No you don't. You can sit the controller down and only use it when you want to pinch hit, steal, warm up a reliever, etc.

Franchise mode. Calendar. Select date. Select
play game. Select manage full game.

Slow sim shows snap by snap from broadcast cam and then we can step in and pick up wherever we want.

If I'm Managing my team or I select any team to manage from the daily matchups I still have to make a decision or wait out the decision timer of 2, 4, 6 seconds, or even have the option to turn it off.

So I guess technically you can just sit and not press anything and it shall continue, but the screen to the right takes away from the game a bit (for me personally).

Again, Madden/NCAA Slow Sim you get broadcast camera, clean screen, and can jump in.

Not a huge deal, but something that should be added in the future for Manage Mode for sure. In the mean time, can just not select my team at the start of the game and then jump in when I see fit as the work around as MiracleMet stated.
