Coop - Keep users the same player, play to play

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 CB

user 2: Right CB

User 3: Left DE

Run a play and select another play

User 1: might now be SS

User 2: might now be DT

User 3: might now be LCB

Same thing happens on offense. This issue did occur several maddens ago, but does not exist anymore.

    Played Madden 25 with two players on the same team (coop), and it does not have this issue. 

    As I mentioned in the first post, this was a problem several years ago in Madden but it has been patched and fixed.

    @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.

    @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.

    @Darksim15 Yes. The player change and locking is really annoying. I just don’t think these local co-op issues should still be there. They seem like easy fixes

    Yep and the same happens on defense as well, if we're playing on the same team on defense and the computer does a hurry-up call, at minimum the second player is completely locked, it's ridiculous.

    @Darksim15 haha, yes, TERRIBLE!

    Madden25 does a pretty good job of this issue though. For the most part, play-to-play you stay the same player. I hope the CFB team talks to the Madden devs to see what was done to address this.

    @UtahUtes32 It's amazing how there's a game by the same company with a simple solution to the locking, and another company (2K) with a perfect solution to the player indicator colors.... yet we still have this nonsense happening here?
