Ratings go out the window.

Coach mode, you have to rely on the ratings, rely on play calling, rely on finding the right personnel to fit your offense. User controlling players, don't matter if you get a 88 rated player or a 40 rated player because you are controlling him.

Then you have to think of all the disabled vets out there who simply can't move the sticks as quick or might even just have one hand. Coach mode was the way for them to keep playing the game they love. Since you literally can play coach mode with one hand.


I enjoyed playing some coach mode in NCAA 12. It completely changes the way you play the game because you can't just cheese the CPU with human stick skills. You have to think like an actual college coach when it comes to your play calling because it's going to be your players and their ratings that decide the outcome, not you and your stick skills. Completely changes your view of things in the game when you're trying to outsmart your opponent (CPU or human) via play calling and situationals in the game instead of trying to out-stick them.
