I would agree it sucks . You can try (in coach mode ) before snap switch to a o lineman and just block and the qb will throw the ball . Unfortunately his top target will be the slot wr or a te then check down . It’s not ideal but it has worked for me and is the closest thing to coach mode you can get other then the simming each play which is stupid if you want a coach mode franchise or not picking a team at controller select at beginning of a game and sitting back and watching and there you CANT pick the plays which also sucks . So best advice for watching is go through your offensive playbook and change the playbook to what you want to do more like heavy passing and the qb will attempt more passes to your outside wrs . But yeah still not what most are looking for in a coach mode . But like I said you can pick the play then switch to a o lineman and just block , and if you get good at blocking you can blow up some guys on the dline and get allot of pancakes . It’s not bad as for a coach mode . Hope this helps . I have tried several different scenarios and this was the closer to a coach mode for offensive plays .
