Which mode has this happened in? Road to Glory
Summarize your bug Play calling in RTG is horrible for multiple reasons. I understand that as you gain more coach trust you should get more options but I've not seen that happen yet and there are no indicators on how much trust you have to get for additional play calling/audible calling/etc. It's also horrible that you can't flip the play. This should be allowed all the time no matter what. It's pretty bad that you only ever get 2 additional plays to call when hitting Y. Also, as a HB when I hit Y to call my own play it gives me the same exact two additional options every time, no matter what. The same two plays always at all times never different...ever.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a RTG session.
What happens when the bug occurs? Explained above.
What do you expect to see? 1. Some indicators on how much coach trust you need in order to get additional play calling options. 2. The ability to flip plays. Always, no matter what. 3. More than two plays pop up when hitting Y to call your own play as a HB. 4. When hitting Y to call your own play, make more of the playbook available.

I am a QB in my RTG, I concur with you with play calling. My coach trust meter is beyond 30,000. I can no longer see how the meter grows. I am in my sophomore year and can only press Y/Triangle to see only two additional plays up to 28times per game. What does it take to be able to audible a play on your own with or get multiple pages of plays to select when pressing Y/Triangle?

Couldn't agree more. It's absolutely mind numbing to only have access to the very same two audible plays. Hoping this is a bug. Not good at all.

In the old days, you could get to pick from a few plays - 3 or 6. Maybe that’s not realistic, but at least audibles. Super annoying

My issue is with the HB, they always pull you out when you get there to go line. As stated in the other post, the play calling option that you can earn from having the coaches trust, you only have one pass play or one run play, depending on what team you play for. In this current season I play for Clemson and my two options are pass plays. Plus with the play calling, how come they are only calling the same five to eight plays. Like damn its a whole playbook, why just these plays?

Agreed with what everyone says here. It's also absurd that you can't at least have the option to interrupt your own team's offensive march down the field. As an example, I've started and restarted the orange bowl as the starting half back 4 times now, and every single time, I run one play, and either the first quarter, or the entire first half get simulated without me getting to touch the ball or even be on the field again once.

First half offense stats: 9 pass attempts, 8 rush attempts by the backup running back (80 ovr), 5 rush attempts by the 3rd string running back (79 ovr), 2 rush attempts by me, the 1st string rb (84 ovr). Wth is that? My average is almost 3x the backup's as well.

Strongly agree. You’re telling me my Heisman-winning qb isn’t allowed to change the play at the line? It’s common irl for a qb to have 2 plays to choose between at the line, and it’s necessary once you read the defense.

Yeah, I’m now to the point where I can’t gain any more Coach Trust in a game - I have a 317 yard, 3 TD, 1 Int game going right now with 0 trust gained. Also having the same issues as others where the progress is displaying off the screen to the right and I can still only pick one play at a time despite a massive CT score.

Fix your game, EA! $70 for this is wild.

I’ve tested this out with QB HB and WR, and it happens for both HB and WR. QB seems to shuffle the additional plays but still no flips or audibles which doesn’t make sense. I haven’t checked if it’s the same for the defensive RTG players

The clowns at EA have no idea what football is like. I've coached High school QBs who have been allowed to audible at the LoS, but the two time heisman winner? Nah, hot routes only.
They were so focused on getting the game out that they forgot to put out a good game.
