I am enjoying my madden PC coach only mode quite a bit.
some things that are still true but you just deal with:
- it has coach mode but it is still just "left in there" vs any real investment in the mode
- annoying that in coach mode you still need to manually control kickers
- annoying that in coach mode you can accidentally control a player, which leads to him doing nothing and almost always a disaster of a play for your team
- penalty sliders are again useless, year after year the promise realistic penalties and then even give us settings for "arcade" vs "sim" and yet you still see nothing close to realistic penalties no matter what you put the settings on
now some good news
- it looks amazing
- the franchise mode is not great, but it is good enough
- the playbooks are authentic, but a little repetitive.
- you can make your own playbook, but it is cumbersome
- results with the right slider tweaks are close to realistic
- players come close to performing to their ratings
- most important - it is pretty fun to play.
overall Best madden in years and I have bought ever single one since v1 and I have the floppy disk and copy protection wheel to prove it.
Still cant wait for the new OOTP\FOF game
