Hey!
To be completely honest, I believe they would work best in the way you described. Issue is also as u stated, that the coach mode cam is odd and hard to adjust players from. The problem with using auto pass in a REGULAR game with user control is within the sliders, as there is an obvious difference between coach mode sliders (CPU v CPU) and hum v CPU sliders. My sliders are meant to allow the user to utilize a coach mode/user hybrid if you will... You call plays, make Pre snap adjustments, then of it's a pass, u let CPU handle it and take control of the wr upon completion. If it's a run- the only option is to take control of the ball carrier, otherwise, if you want the ball carrier tk be contolled by CPU u need tk be I'm coach mode I THINK. I hinestly HAVE NOT CONSIDERED OR TRIED calling a run play and seeing if my runningback goes on his own!
But I adjusted these sliders to account for the fact that inwould be contolling the runningbacks. On defense I only contol a d lineman, rarely a d end. Never any of the LB or db .. So that is essentially a coach Mode.
