Did EA add back ability to switch teams during Franchise game? They need to.

For years Madden and even NCAA football allowed ability to switch teams during a franchise game. Not just an exhibition. Ever since online gaming became a thing, this function was removed.  Can it be added back? Not everyone plays online for franchise. To add variety some of us off line gamers like the variety to be able to play a game as one team and switch it up each QTR. I control all 32 teams, and choose 8 (1 from each division) and I used to be able to switch teams when the ones I controlled met head to head. Now all I can do is SIM it and it takes a lot of fun and spontaneity out of the experience.

    Last madden that let you do that was Madden 12,  I still go back to that Madden every now and again when I can get my hands on a custom roster.

    100% agree! That is one of my favorite ways to play a dynasty. Offense only for every team in every game of the season. So much fun! I use to do this playing the Tecmo Bowl series by switching controllers back and forth. It was so much more convenient toggleing between teams in-game with modern games. Now, NCAA and Madden stopped giving us the abilty to do that. I'd come back to them both if they brought back that feature for offline play. I'm more than happy to forgo any achievements as well to be able to do that.

    Also, what was the last Madden that let you do that?

    Would buy Madden if this feature returned.. it’s how I played franchise mode since I was a kid controlling both offenses in offline franchise. Once if got taken away I stick to 2k, fifa, and the show where that feature still lives. Shame that it’s something so simple and has had multiple forums created for, yet doesn’t return.

    Ya, 2 years later and I just don’t understand how this isn’t a present feature. I also typically control all 32 teams and it would be great if I could switch off between who I’m controlling every drive. 2k has it. Why can’t you?
