No Coach Mode in CC is GAME KILLER, EA!

[bbfan66]

I simply cannot believe/understand/fathom why after all these years they took this out. Can someone, from OS or EA, please explain why this happened?

Because we are a low number. And in the world of business, numbers count. If they sent someone to Florida to preview the game who was a die hard coach mode player like me, it probably would get attention. But we are the minority.

Oh well, EA won't be getting my $60 bucks from me this year. More time for MLB 12 The Show.

So you started a new thread to state this when it was being discussed in the other thread with you included.

Great way to clog up the boards.

Coach mode is the least of the problems with this years game.

The other threads simply pointed out that the coach mode did not exist. I, however, am requesting a response, if an explanation can be offered, as to why this was not included in this year's game. Perhaps someone with clout would see the thread and offer a response. Whereas they may not see a post asking a question buried in some other thread simply devoted to the fact it does not exist. I am sure they already know that.

This just confuses me then. I thought EA advertised you can be player or coach in CC. On this site http://mymaddenpad.com/madden-nfl-13...-careers-faqs/ it lists the Coach Mode, but that it's basically you as a player. Which makes no sense if you're controlling the players, why call it coach mode? Should have stuck with Franchise Mode then there would be no confusion.

"If we choose to play with a Coach are we just calling plays and letting the CPU play?
No. Choosing to play Connected Careers as a coach means you will have control of your team and play as you normally would. You call the plays and then execute the plays. You’ll control the defense, offense, and special teams. You’ll also be the one participating in all the offseason player movements and trades."

I was under the impression it as a "Head Coach" type mode, but apparently not.

This deserves an official response IMO

For them to leave it in 'Play Now' exhibition mode but strip it from career mode? Wtf? Was this a mistake? Was it really supposed to have been in Career mode? Can this be patched back in? I mean all we're talking about here is QB auto-throw. Add that back into career mode and you'll get my $60. Leave it out, and to bad for me as I won't be getting this years version.

What makes this even more difficult to swallow is the fact that career mode looks great this year. Very much reminds me of HC 09, my favorite football game.

I mean to take the time to inject RPG elements, the tweets for immersion but then take away the players ability run a pure GM/coach team? I don't get it.

For me, this is sadly a deal breaker
