Multiple Controllers In Franchise Mode

[skizzik13]

Maybe I'm totally missing something, but I've played the Show for many years now and never had an issue with multiple players on multiple controllers playing franchise mode. However, this year, it will only let us use a single controller, even with multiple teams chosen. Am I missing a setting or did they really take out the ability for multiple players on a single PS4 to play franchise together?

I sure hope not. Only reason I bought a second controller is for this game. I like to alter the CPU's lineup. I have not tried this yet.

Yeah...my buddy and I did a franchise fantasy draft and it did indeed suck havnig to pass the stick back and forth for nearly 50 rounds.

You can do it. I just tested in my single team Brewers franchise and I could move a controller to my team to play co-op and to the other team to adjust lineups or play local VS.

1.) Create a second "User Settings" Profile from the User Settings that you are currently using.

2.) Create a 32 team Franchise assigning your Primary User Settings Profile to all of the teams except one of them. To this team you assign the second "User Settings" profile you created in step one.

4.) Start Franchise.

5.) Before each game go to:
OPTIONS/USER SETTINGS/SET TEAM ASSOCIATIONS/SETTINGS FILE ASSOCIATION

6.) Now assign the second controller User Settings Profile you created to the other team you are playing against in the game you are about to play.

7.) Go to:
HOME/NEXT GAME.
Before the game starts, slide your controller over to your team, and slide the other controller over to the opponents team. You will see that controller will be named whatever you named the second user settings profile you created in step one.

8.) PLAY BALL!
