Since EA Is Bringing Coordinators Back, What Do You Want From Them?

[TheButter]

Why not add in a simple weekly staff meeting? It'd be text based, just like the head coaches office in franchise now, and it'd bring emphasis to how important a good staff is in Madden.

They could take about key players on the upcoming team, their big plays to watch for, how your team matches up, and who should start at their positions.

It would get repetitive and most people would just skip it because it wouldn't make a huge difference.

Yep. I would be the main person skipping through it. It's kind of like how madden 21 has that "the offensive coordinator wants to talk about next week's opponent" dialogue.

Another thing to skip through.

We only want to simulate the broad strokes of the coaching/franchise experience. Very few of us would ever want to put in the actual work of an NFL head coach.

Honestly I want Coordinators so we can have a coaching carousel and I want to see my coordinators grow to become HC somewhere else because that adds to the story and helps keep me engaged in my franchise mode.

I hope it’s more than a carousel though, I hope they find a way to tie coaches schemes to the players they desire. For example if Joe Schmo’s scheme wants a highly accurate high throw power QB, and he goes to the Ravens, do they look to move on from Lamar?

Re: Since EA's bring coordinators back...

I'd like to see them go deeper than coordinators and tie in position coaches. Maybe coaches and coordinators both should have an impact on player development? If you have a crappy DB coach.. it should effect DB development or somehow tie into directly effecting players. Make it immersive and MAKE A DIFFERENCE in how your team functions or develops.

Re: Since EA's bring coordinators back...

If people don't want it, maybe it should be able to be toggled on and off, just like everything detailed in the game should be.



If there's only one NFL licensed game in the video game market, it should be able to cater to players who want to sit through an hour or two between games, micromanaging their team, preparing for their opponent, etc. as well as players who want to only play the offensive snaps of their team and run through four games in an hour every time they play with little to no planning/playing outside of the actual games.



Madden should be as immersive as the player wants it to be.

It could be merged with what they’re already doing with the little messages that pop up.


But honestly, I’d prefer if things like player development and scheme foundations all be done in the off-season before the preseason, rather than weekly events. Player development can be done manually via OTAs/minicamp, and then experience at the end of the season can be added to that.

I'd love to see more immersion with the new system (hopefully it is). However, I think your idea would be hard to pull off. In the scenario you list above, I think the more likely scenario would be the Ravens would never hire a coach who says I can't work with Lamar, but rather the system needs coaches to look at personal and evaluate if they could succeed with the teams core.

This idea would have to have some depth and reasoning behind it, or it’s not needed. Same with the current meeting about X-Factors. Regardless of what option you choose, the gameplay remains the same, only the silly challenge changes.

Now, if you could talk with your coaches and make actual gameplan strategies that would affect what happens on the field, you have something there.

That will never, and I mean EVER, happen. That’s way too much depth.

After getting burned so frequently by EA, I think most of us are in the mindset that this is just a new coat of paint that they're doing and this will have no real impact. I think the gameplay stragties would never happen, as it seems too much like head coach, but I was surprised when they moved the scheme fits over which was a head coach thing at first.

My guess is this system will provide small bonus to your players attributes. Andy Reid +5 THA etc. It seems to be small enough that the casual gamer won't be overwheelmed and a move to say to the sim guy-Look your choices at coaching matters! You can augment your franchise QB with hiring a staff that makes the most of his skillset.

Re: Since EA's bring coordinators back...

I say if you are going to have coordinators in the game, make to where you can only use your coordinators playbook, offense and defense, for instance if you wanna run the Raiders playbook on offense, then you have to go out and get the Raiders coordinator, other wise, they are useless in the game IMO

They probably won't do that because IMO a whole lot more people will complain about not being able to just choose the playbooks they want then will want the coordinator playbooks locked.

There are some areas of the game where they are pointlessly restrictive and others where they allow maximum flexibility. this is an area where I expect them to be really loose, unfortunately, IMO.

Maybe instead of having to use their playbook you have to use their scheme. That way up need to make the decision to adapt your playbook or live with a rating hit.
