Madden 24 Coach Mode is a JOKE, and EA doesn't care
Ok, so you've got a Coach Mode for a game. The idea is great, make the cuts, free agent trades, upgrade players to fit team needs, game schemes... All great..
So how is it I can't even play ONE preseason game as a COACH. If I choose a run play, sure, that one works. QB snaps, hands it off and the play goes off like it should.
But then we get to your QB pass mechanics. Every snap, the QB stands there WAITING FOR INPUT. This 100% destroys the idea of a Coach Mode. I want to call the play, snap it and sit back and watch...kind of like a Head Coach, maybe? The QB stands still until he is sacked or I push a button to make him throw. I have Full Field Control OFF, which should mean what for a Coach?? I definitely wouldn't say to have to run around and throw the ball. Now the success of my team isn't reliant on my play calling or staffing choices, it's now as a coach AND a QB.
I've played EA since PS1. I genuinely don't understand how YEAR after YEAR this doesn't change. It's nothing more than doing the EXACT same thing as a player franchise just with a picture of an old dude, more between game tasks, and even MORE frustration with the game itself.
You're all professional programmers, and seem to take no pride int he product you release. You get your annual "new" release checks, and then just forget the game. You make novel changes to things which USUALLY mess something else up, and at the same time almost never addressing the problems people bring to you.
Only way you guys will EVER make any changes is if it affects your wallet. Sure, you're a business and that's the goal, but seems like releasing a good product should be part of that. But hey, you got a monopoly on the sports games market, so what do you care? People want sports game, and you're going to exploit that with sub-par products knowing people don't have other options.
Fix the freaking modes.
