Which way do you guys prefer to run your franchise, as owner or head coach? I used to go as coach but nowadays I moved on up to enjoy owning my team, and selling tickets , parking , concessions and souvenirs as cheaply as the game alllows. And my fans love me for it. As long as Im winning of course.

I prefer owner mode. I like being able to fire my coach when i under perform. It's pretty much the only time in life I put the blame on someone else instead of myself

Also, because the scenario engine doesn't affect cpu teams, this is an easy way to not worry about it and having it bog down my screen each week.

I prefere HC but owner mode gives you more depth into franchise mode

I do coach but turn some of the more front office centric items (FA signing, contract negotiations) to Auto and let my "GM" handle them.

Coach mode for me. I like the scenarios. Currently my whole team is -5 in morale for a week. Love facing adversity in this game. Wish their were more injuries, speaking of.

Still miffed they ditched the office scenes with the snapshots in the background btw. That was cool, and what an odd thing to remove and not replace with anything. It was just window-dressing anyway. Lame tbh.

I used to play owner but it’s the same thing every year. They never add anything, you can still set all ticket prices to max and make the most money, coaches still retire if they win 3 bowls. Same teams, and locations… it’s crazy

At least in coach I can get some scenarios and not have to keep hiring new coaches when they retire for winning

I wish they would bring back the true Head coach game/mode

I prefer Head Coach. I like being able to control more of the team. I also use a 2nd PSN account to help the CPU manage the other 31 teams. Would be great if EA could improve the quality of CPU-managed teams and also allow the scenario engine to be utilized by the CPU. This also allows me to ensure the CPU teams accept/decline the 5th year options of 1st round picks. Which is more realistic.
