Who came up with the idea to give the QB almost no play calling power whatsoever? why can’t we at least flip the plays?! 99% of the time I have to call a pass play with all of the routes going to the short side of the field. That’s some brilliant play calling there. But it’s all good, because when we get enough coach trust, it allows us to unlock 2 more plays that are equally stupid. RTG was way more fun than this back in 2014.

I hate that my RB gets benched every time my team is inside the 10 yard line. I ended up with 1200 yards rushing and 4 tds, should have had 12 to 15 tds and been in the running for Heisman but everytime I didnt score from outside the 10 I would get sent to the bench and they would sim the td or even worse not score at all

I chose WKU as a WR specifically for the air raid offense just for the playcalling to be 35 runs a game and be taken off every other play despite being the WR1. I really just want to enjoy the game, but little things like this are going to ruin the experience

@hawksnc10 You notice that as a QB no matter what your coach trust you cant call audibles at the line either? I really hope thats a bug, and not the way it should be.

It seems like they literally go the opposite of you and your position. I'm a RB, they will call pass plays non stop and not give me reps, I'm a QB, they will call run plays non stop. When I try to change the play, the choices end up being the exact same play, same formation and everything.

@MrNIRPL Yeah i get that, but you still get limited play selections, and if the other team, calls a time out your screwed, The play calling is trash, its not even football level play calls. The entire Sim logic in the game is busted, have you seen dynasty mode? Season 2 of dynasty and East tesxas is in the top 25 at 8-4, Ohio state and bama are getting beat by cupcakes all the time, and the top 25 ranking logic is jacked too. The game was not ready, but to many people are just happy we have a game......Sure we have a game, its broken and non functional as a football simulator likes its supposed to be, But we have it.......that logic doesnt fly.

I was down by 14 and scored a touchdown to make it down by 8. The coach decides to go for 2!

@Megalodon360 Wow! That’s terrible. I hope they iron these things out, but it is EA we are talking about. They haven’t even taken the time to say anything on this post, even though these are legitimate issues.

@M329 Sounds like an EA game, lol. I remember playing as a QB in a player career against my buddy, in Madden, and on 4th down the coach would call a fake field goal 9/10 times, 😂.

@BBLEagle32 For real?! I was thinking of doing receiver next, but now maybe not.

Yeah. That is another thing that's really annoying.

@hawksnc10 It’s horrible. I chose to go to Michigan as a QB and was only throwing the ball about 10 times per game. It was really getting on my nerves. So, I switched to an Air Raid playbook and the coach suddenly learned how to call pass plays.
