@SteveDay1967there is an option in the game settings (in the main menu where you select your mode to play) allowing the QB to throw passes if no manual input is registered from the controller (see screenshot).
Settings -> Game Options -> Coach Mode 'On'

How do you do coach mode on Franchise. I can't find any help on this in the manual and no descriptions of the settings. We want a coach only league, but the CPU never takes control of the players after the snap?
A dedicated coach mode isn't in the game. You still have to select the plays as a Coach or Franchise Owner.
That's exactly what I want to do. Call the plays and have the computer players execute the play I have called. Currently I have to call the play and if it is a pass I have to select the receiver and then initiate the throw/move the QB. I don't want that experience. If there is a way to call plays only then it's not clear how to do that in Madden 21. That's what we are asking about....How do you just set up a franchise where you only call plays and don't have to make a run or pass with the controller?
