That doesn't sound promising for Coach Mode being back. Why do they take out good features that old games have?
I put a game on letting it play some without subbing to pad a players stats and then I play part of it scoring a bunch with that player I want to have better stats. (Say Durant is only averaging 22 points a game in a year of my franchise and I want him closer to 30, so I want to get him 50 in a game. Or the top PG is averaging 8.5 assists, I'd get in and try to get him 20 asts to help that. But I don't want to play for the whole hour of another team's game.)
