FYI, this doesnt work if you are playing as a created coach because once you switch teams you will have to retire your coach. It only works using real life coaches.

This will be huge for those of us who want to hope around the schedule for playing games and seeing playoff games.

Only concern now is with that walk around...still cause we don't have full control...how close can we keep teams to real life moves as we can....for those that like that.

THAT IS GREAT NEWS at least it is some progress and hopefully its it a sign we can get this Back in Madden 14

In Madden 12 I could play any game I wanted while controlling only one team without having to switch teams. If I was playing as the Ravens, if I wanted I could just go to League Schedule and play the Bills game, play the Jaguars game, play the Cowboys game while still in control of the Ravens. They should try to figure a way to play other games WITHOUT having to switch coaches to do it.

Yeah that's true and, for the most part, I think everyone agrees (whether or not they care is a different story...lol).

The point is that 13 is designed differently and we've all gone 12 rounds on the topic already, so now people are looking for any way to workaround some of these limitations. If they work back in a way to do this without the hoop jumping, that's great. If not though, this is good news as it potentially gets around one (and maybe two-if roster moves stick for a bit after jumping around) of the bigger gripes some of us have.

Not perfect, to be sure, but certainly something positive.

No one is refuting that.

A workaround was discovered and shared, no sense in continuing to gripe about something that isn't going to change no matter how frustrating it is.

So you can switch coaches without losing XP?
