Online Co-op Modes
Dear EA Sports, I think I speak for a large population of video game fans who have played EA sports titles since we were kids. Growing up we all loved playing against each other for some friendly co...

@DeepTurtle33 Not only this, but the options we do have to play co-op need a look for issues.
I mentioned in another thread, I play a dynasty co-op with my brother and cousin when we have time to get together during our busy lives. We chose to start as Memphis and work our coach up to a power 5 school and on.
In game on 14, my brother would be QB, I'll take RB, cousin would take OL when he plays (he's not as experienced as we are). Now, it looks like you can only play OL on running plays. That's fine, he can play TE. The issue on offense is that after each play, your indicator moves to another player (except QB). If I'm RB, I'll start as a TE on the next play. If I'm TE on one play, I'll be moved to WR next.
That's a minor issue on offense. But it happens on defense as well. And worse, when the opponent runs a hurry up offense, we are locked down. Can't change players, can't even move pre-snap. Obviously this is a massive issue of suddenly, unexpectedly, we are moved to CB, off screen, and can't change.
That becomes an even bigger issue when the player indicator colors are so hard to read. Red at least looks a LITTLE different, though still hard to see. But blue and green are nearly identical. It makes it tough to get co-op users on the same page, especially on defense.
Please, someone see this and look into making adjustments. Fixing the change and lock issue of course, but maybe make the inner circle of the player indicator color the entire inner circle, more saturated and semi-transparent?

Agreed! I've had a thread about this on the Madden forum for a while and just started another one on NCAA.
My friend and I live states away and have no interest playing against each other but like to play on the same team in a dynasty/franchise. It's insane that EA hasn't made this a thing since it doesn't appear like it'd be difficult to do.
The only thing my friend and I can do is Shareplay on PS5. Which works OK but if we lose connection or don't complete it within the Shareplays 1hr time limit then we can't finish the game. You can't restart because of some glitch where when you restart Shareplay it changes the controller and you have to quit.
EA please fix this!
Bump on this!
