Dear EA developers…

There is an option you can turn on as to where the QB will throw by himself without the user taking over on the controller . BUT you will still have to control the ball carrier on the run plays and also the defensive plays . I do know what you mean though and agree a true coach mode would be nice to have again like the mode from the past . 
The closest I have came to a coach mode is by going through my playbooks (offense and defense) and rating the plays I like the most to be used in certain situations (down and distance ) and then choose the option to slow sim before the kickoff and then you can watch the game play out without the user having to do anything .  Yes I know you’re not picking each individual play before each snap but that’s why you specifically detail your playbooks and rate the plays like a coach would do , so it’s someways like coach mode . In case you weren’t already aware of this type of play . Hope this might help .
