Make Owner Mode stand out again
Owner mode currently feels like just playing coach mode with a few extra headaches. There need to be significant changes made to the mode if it is going to be worthy of continued inclusion. First o...

@draknreznall It 100% could use some things to make it stand out more. I've had a few ideas myself, but I'll start w/ commenting on each of the things u had said.
I don't quite see a problem w/ being able to change schemes, playboys, etc as an owner, even though I don't do any of it myself. While I get where u r coming from w/ it, I don't think it should be removed. Make it a commish tool that u can turn the features in or off.
I like the idea of making personality/popularity trait a thing for scouting. But also of course the higher their draft grade, the higher the trait should be. Obviously there could be some outliers late round picks who were super popular in college, but they were at a small school or got injured heading to draft. Or the high grades that could come crashing down b/c the early Rd pick is a bust.
Nothing I can truly add to this one b/c I 100% agree. As of now, we can't really do anything about OCs and DCs moving on unless we r out of playoffs. I always try to keep mine extended for that reason. But I've also noticed that we can't even hire OCs or DCs as HC which I think is stupid. So I guess there is acrually something to add to this. 😄
I actually really like this suggestion. It sucks trying to balance using owner funds for stadium upgrades, then for signing bonuses. And it sure doesn't help when u only make $ playing at home, and even then, u've gotta win those games to make the $. So adding a stadium tree could help keep owner funds in order, while also being able to keep ur stadium up to par. Especially since for some weird, stupid, unknown reasons they've taken the ability to give owner funds to ppl away in online franchise. And to note on top of that, u need to be able to keep ur funds in positive to not get kicked from a team and a league, which makes it even harder to do.
Obviously no argument here, and I wouldn't mind the old feature back at all.
I'd really like to see players become coaches again too. I also like the idea of expanding upon coaching. For sure makes the league 100% more in depth.
Promotional days would be nice b/c as u said, 1, it happens irl, and 2, it'll help u gain owner funding. Ur play, prestige, amongst other things should be all factor into how much funding u gain.
That's my reactions to ur points. I'll give my take on some ideas on another post.

So I'll go into detail now w/ some of my suggestions.
Again, basically covered this whole thing, and did just out the suggestion in there. Having a toggle would be the best option for all that I think.
Only thing I had to add what some busts, but otherwise I was 100% into this idea. Would work out better than Madden's current state of how it works.
Outside of hiring OCs and DCs as HCs, I actually wish we could rename the coordinators as well. I get y they r generic, but takes away from the realism as well.
Not much to add to the stadium tree, everything u had there was really good, wouldn't change anything about it. Obviously if u win more, u get more pts, similar to the staff pts, and if u lose, u don't get as many. Maybe add a bonus for home wins.
As far as relocation is concerned, besides bringing back the old feature, I actually created an entire thread on a relocation Madden website similar to the NCAA teambuilder site. U can view that here.
Players becoming coaches would be huge for return. Speaking more on positional coaches, instead of maybe just some key pts, I'd suggest basing the coaches w/ 1 of the 4 player archetypes, and then giving that position group a bonus in training for that particular archetype. So therefore some players fitting the scheme could benefit more if it's team scheme, or it ends up hindering them slightly b/c while they do progress attributes for that archetype, it doesn't help ur scheme rating or players fitting ur scheme. But in-house promotions, or hiring another team's positional coach to become OCs or DCs would be great. I'd like the ability to be able to train coaches as well to make them more well balanced as a HC. So maybe if u have a newly hired OC or DC, the staff pts would make ur coach more O or D minded as well so they've got a better mind for the game.
And no difference or any other thing to add to the promotional days, which I think worked pretty well in ur description.
