    I thought the Pro Bowl was playable this year?

    Just got to the end of my first year in franchise, come to the pro bowl week and there is no option to play game?

    I have made it to the Super Bowl so can you only play the pro bowl if you don’t make the Super Bowl!?

    Correct. Just like the real NFL, if you make the Super Bowl you don't play in the Pro Bowl since it's the week before the Super Bowl. You can play it if you don't make it to the Super Bowl, my coach was even selected to coach it one year in my test franchise during Access time.

      That’s a shame! Should still be playable even if ‘unrealistic’. Thanks for the info.

          I prefer it this way. More realistic.

            Hmm, I went 5-11 with Bengals and couldn’t play the Pro Bowl either.

              Did any of your players make the pro bowl?

                Maybe a work around would be to create a new character, take over the team that is coaching pro bowl and retire him after the game?

                  Even if you are not playing in the Superbowl, you still need to be in the Pro Bowl (if you are a player) or have at least 6 wins (as a coach/owner) to play it.

                    It'd be realistic to have your players who are in the pro bowl and in the superbowl to not be able to be in the pro bowl, but to not allow the user to play the pro bowl as a whole is really dumb.

                      Totally agree with this, at least for solo franchises if the pro bowl is playable it should be playable for you any year regardless of how the season went. It's stupid if you're running a solo franchise and get to the pro bowl and it's like oh sorry you didn't get enough wins to make the pro bowl.

                        Probably a result of them wanting to merge offline and online CFM.

                          its stupid even if you can play probowl. no personnel rotates like the real thing and they blitz etc, so there needs to be a probowl off/def playbook, and correct personnel rotation. a starter can play the whole game ...

                            How is that stupid? In real life the Pro Bowl doesn't even have many people show for it due to imaginary injuries and players barely play with much effort; are you angry EA didn't simulate that for you as well? LoL

                            Give me a break....
