More or less, but with the inclusion of a coaching carousel, and more detail to your coach and coaches in general, like ratings and such. It would be like the closed legacy in choops2k8, where you start small, and work your way up.

okay I get it I think everyone's talking about the same thing for the most part just using different names for it

Not liking this Coach Mode. Sounds like B-Spec mode in Gran Turismo.

Isn't that what it's supposed to be though? the "coach mode" in my eyes would be calling the plays, and your CPU controlled team executing it, similar to the NFL Head Coach game.

I see some people refer to coach carousel as being coach mode, but that is something that can be added to dynasty as well.

take College Hoops for example. your are the coach in legacy mode, and there is a coaching carousel, but that in itself in not "coach mode". the game did have a coach mode in it though, where you don't have direct control of the players, but can call plays, substitute, etc...

Coach mode is not really a separate mode from dynasty, at least it shouldn't be.

OK lets end this confusion right now before it really gets out of hand.

COACH MODE - Is when you strictly call plays. That is all you can do. You can't control the players on the field at all.

DYNASTY MODE - You choose a school, you recruit, build up your team, however you have total control of the game because you are the one playing the game. Controlling the movement of the players, juking, diving, spinning etc.

BROADCAST CAMERA - Camera view from the propsective of the head coach, which would be from the side like as when you watch a football game on tv.

SPECTATOR MODE - Is when you watch 2 human players play each other in a game. The way it worked in EA MMA, you could have up to 10 people in the group. 2 people played each other, while the other 8 simply just watched. However everybody was able to talk to each other like in party chat while the 2 people were playing.

Just doesnt sound fun to me at all. I want to play the game...not watch. Its just like super sim....except you can call the plays. To each is own i guess.
