Coach mode or Full control

[shopejay]

I was kicking around the idea of getting a dynasty started and was wondering if coach mode is the way to go. I love controlling the action but was doing a quick game on coach mode and I kinda like that too. How do you guys run your dynasties? Full control or coach mode? Pro and Cons to both? Thanks for your responses and if this has been done already please point me in the right direction. Thanks again.

I always play coach mode. It does get a little frustrating when your QB makes a stupid read and throws into 5 person coverage or takes his drop and throws the ball away without even considering to pass to a wide open receiver. Also, running backs suck at hitting holes most of the time. I get pretty mad playing the mode because of these things but for some reason, I still love it.

I guess that could be close to life. I can only imagine the coordinators up in the booth at real games getting all up and honked off because their QB missed a wide open player or the you could drive a truck through a hole the RB missed. Seems to give it the real life feel.

I would be all about a Coach Mode PS3 OD. Look me up Stratospaly

I prefer Coach Mode for several reasons. For one you get to see more action on the field. Controling players requires tunnel vision. Player ratings matter more when you do not control them. You will likely need to adjust your sliders, coach mode sliders usually are different then when you control the players. I start as a DC of Akron because they stink. I only allow myself to adjust the depth chart, redshirt, and change defensive player positions. Let the computer recruit and take care of the offense. Once I become a head coach I take control over everything on offense, defense, and recruiting.

I would love an online dynasty that was coach's mode only.

Coach mode is fun, you just need to find good sliders.
