My thoughts on the this mode are mostly positive. I'm glad it is coming to Dynasty, but to me it seems that this is the only change made to Dynasty (other than custom conferences which are mostly superficial), and that's the problem. It is hardly "the deepest mode" as they advertise it to be.
I would like to see more differentiation between Coordinators and Head Coaches--it seems like the only differences are the goals you contract for and playing both sides of the ball. I think Coordinators should only be involved in recruiting for their side of the ball, as well, but not exclusively (as the HC still has maximum control). I would also like to see more responsibilities given once you become a head coach so there is a bit more incentive to do so.
I also think they can take a path similar to RTG and have your coach start on a high school team (perhaps a tie-in after you complete your career as a player?), then based upon your coaching abilities and the way you manage your players/team, you receive offers from various schools--probably low-end at first--to either coach or coordinate. I do understand some concern about just wanting to pick your team, however. This would really connect all the modes in the game.
Aside from that, as long as the implementation is done well, this should be a fine addition. I'm looking to see that teams behave realistically with their coaches. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the goal system: some of the goals look unrealistic or just unbalanced.
I'm looking forward to hearing the details on the revamped RTG mode. Hopefully something there can really entice us. They have done some good work this year, and hopefully it sets us up for a future of much-improved football.
