THAT to me would be more exciting than online dynasty. IF it were done.

this is an awsome idea, think about it, Madden meets SOCOM!!! everyone on defense communicating through a bluetooth headset!!! OMG!!! that woul rock dude! ur really on to something

That means it's not death to stick skills. I personally just don't take control of the DB if I don't think I'm going to do the right thing with him. Defensive assist won't help me and if you have great stick skills, you'll still have the advantage over me.

I never really understood this. A lot of players like myself do not want to control ever single player. I'd rather control one player on D/O and let the players I sign because of their ability etc.. play also. I feel when I take over for everyone that players ratings etc go out the window as far as intelligence etc..
I understand some want to control everyone but not everyone wants to do that. Doesn't make them (Me) any less a "gamer".

I understand online matches tourneys where man vs man you'd want players to control everyone to show "Stick Skills" but in my franchise I want my players I get to build my team to matter more than just speed/hand ratings.

So however you want to play fine, just don't take those that do not want to control everyone as being less than those that do...

I personally check WRs myself and read the routes they run. Sometimes I get beat,sometimes I jump the route and pick. Its part of the excitement of playing D not knowing if you made the right choice or not. I dont want to know i can run his route better than him every play by holding down the A button.
