Not liking this Coach Mode. Sounds like B-Spec mode in Gran Turismo.

Isn't that what it's supposed to be though? the "coach mode" in my eyes would be calling the plays, and your CPU controlled team executing it, similar to the NFL Head Coach game.

I see some people refer to coach carousel as being coach mode, but that is something that can be added to dynasty as well.

take College Hoops for example. your are the coach in legacy mode, and there is a coaching carousel, but that in itself in not "coach mode". the game did have a coach mode in it though, where you don't have direct control of the players, but can call plays, substitute, etc...

Coach mode is not really a separate mode from dynasty, at least it shouldn't be.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Developer Chat on EA Sports Live, Coach Mode Announced

OK lets end this confusion right now before it really gets out of hand.

COACH MODE - Is when you strictly call plays. That is all you can do. You can't control the players on the field at all.

DYNASTY MODE - You choose a school, you recruit, build up your team, however you have total control of the game because you are the one playing the game. Controlling the movement of the players, juking, diving, spinning etc.

BROADCAST CAMERA - Camera view from the propsective of the head coach, which would be from the side like as when you watch a football game on tv.

SPECTATOR MODE - Is when you watch 2 human players play each other in a game. The way it worked in EA MMA, you could have up to 10 people in the group. 2 people played each other, while the other 8 simply just watched. However everybody was able to talk to each other like in party chat while the 2 people were playing.

Just doesnt sound fun to me at all. I want to play the game...not watch. Its just like super sim....except you can call the plays. To each is own i guess.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Developer Chat on EA Sports Live, Coach Mode Announced

This is pretty ridiculous, why would they limit the camera angle to only coach mode? I mean, I mostly play behind the QB in Madden but sometimes I will play in the broadcast view for the fun of it because it looks more realistic. I just don't understand the reasoning for not making this camera angle playable? Coach mode is already in the game, you just snap it and dont press any other buttons. Why lock this?

I'm going on record: if anyone finds a way to unlock this for the human player, they can name their price and I'll pay them.

I appreciate that sir!
Bama vs. LSU. Classic. Those Ion 4D helmets are ugly. Only a few teams in college wear them anyways. Like Penn State and W.Virginia.

Isn't the Broadcast Camera the angle that you see when you watch a game on TV? The view from the perspective of the head coach would be field level from the sideline, right?

What you see on TV is not the perspective of the head coach (maybe the assistant coaches that are up in the booth) unless I am missing something...

Broadcast Cam is the view you watch football on your TV. When you turn on ESPN, your looking at a broadcast camera...

Re: NCAA Football 12 Developer Chat on EA Sports Live, Coach Mode Announced

Not to sound rude or anything, but why does everyone want a broadcast camera? By my knowledge, that's the camera from the side of the field instead of behind the QB as the current camera is. How is it even possible to play a game from that angle? It just seems impossible to be able to play a game viewing the field from that angle. I'm not bashing people who want it at all. I just don't understand why everyone is up in arms over it when the 5 or 6 guys I play this game with cannot for the life of us figure out what the benefit to the camera is.

haha I believe I posted this, almost exact wording, about a year ago. The answer I got was basically there's a bigger audience that wants it than I thought...I dunno but hey, its in now.
