Coach Mode Impressions

[John_Elway]

I am a big Coach Mode player, I usually handle all the player management and play calling in games, however, I do not control any players.

I know there are a lot of Coach Mode players out there, so thought it would be great to hear of any improvements to Coach Mode in Madden 24!!

Coach mode is exactly the same as the past several years. User QB still does not scramble or run, causing lots of sacks. Still no penalties. Still have to user special teams. But the ultimate game killer is the HFA bug. Once a team gets momentum maxed out, the game is basically over. For example, I beat the Titans 69-0 the other night using coach mode. I’ve also been blown out when the cpu got max momentum

I also “user” a DT. I don’t use lb, but you can. Personal preference. Maybe I should start doing that lol.

I can say any position not lined up on the line of scrimmage still mans up on an offensive player when using lb.

What about on offense. I've tried to control a WR or RB, but after the ball is hiked it goes back to the QB.

You can player-Lock on reciever or running back that you choose

I only play "Coach Mode" as well.

The lack of QB scrambling really does kill the experience of playing in this mode.

The way I reduce the number of sacks my QB takes is to make sure the attribute for "Throw Ball Away" is set to set to "YES"

Most QBs in the game are set to "NO" - While it doesnt fix the problem, it will reduce the number of sacks your QB takes in the game.

Another thing Ive been playing with is "Senses Pressure" - Im assuming this effects how quickly your QB makes a decision on throwing the ball.
But havent done enough testing to truly have an answer.

Hope this helps in some fashion

Two other things you can try. Both involve making pre-snap line adjustments

1) Utilize ID the Mike. Doesn’t seem to work quite as well this year as it did last year, but still helps

2) My friend swears by this method. I have tested it some and it does appear this works. Pull up the pre-snap line adjustment menu and then just hit reset. That’s it. Seems to re-align the o-line assignments or something. Not sure exactly, but I have been seeing fewer sacks since I started trying it.
