Again, this is an issue that existed several years ago in Madden but has been fixed:When playing coop offline (play now, or offline dynasty), users do not remain the same players down-to-down, they are forced to switch back to their desired player EVERY PLAY!Example:User1: Left CBuser 2: Right CBUser 3: Left DERun a play and select another playUser 1: might now be SSUser 2: might now be DTUser 3: might now be LCBSame thing happens on offense. This issue did occur several maddens ago, but does not exist anymore.

@UtahUtes32 Got the game from the library to try out with my kids over the weekend. Playing co-op is frustrating, not just the players changing, but the tiny colored circle in the middle is so hard to see on the fly that you're better off moving a guy left/right pre-snap to find out which you are. Why they can't do bright color circles like back in the day I have no idea.

EA, can we make some simple fixes so co-op is playable? Fix player icon colors and stop changing user positions

@Anobix I agree. Or do like NBA 2k does and let each player customize their reticle/identifierhttps://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Tip-from-NBA-2k-Allow-quot-customizable-HUD-quot-fatigue-player/m-p/14208867#M7209

@Anobix This ruins the game for me and my son too. It’s crazy such an obvious and easy fix hasn’t been resolved

@Ksearyback I play a dynasty with my brother and cousin. Imagine getting three users sorted before each kickoff.And to add to that, running a hurry up offense, users 2 and 3 change to the next player in the rotation, and lock. So if you hurry up and a user changes to a blocking RB, he's virtually out for that play.

@Ksearyback People have only been complaining about this since the game came out.
I see videos all the time of online play with a gamer tag underneath and a colored diamond above the player. Why can we just have that??

Better yet, do it like NBA 2k does, let players select the position or player they want to player-lock as!!
In NBA 2k, you can choose what player/position you want to lock as before the game even starts (or pause the game and choose the position):

@UtahUtes32 It just amazes me how many options there are out there and this is what we're (still) stuck with.

Sorry to say, but this is EA's MO. CUT is their money maker so they build the entire game's focus around that. To them, it's a single player, online experience, and couch co-op doesn't exist. I sure hope they prove me wrong and fix it for us. But they haven't shown me anything to make me believe they care.

@NatureBoy2323 @EA_Kent somebody, please pass this issue up. It's been a problem since day one and seems to have an easy fix. A lot of players play co-op (with kids, siblings, etc) and I can tell you, the player indicators issue and player locking can make the game more stressful than fun at times.
For the player indicators, clearly the capability is there (see attached photo). Why can't we just have this is local co-op or offline dynasty?
