Just tossing out a quick question here...
The last Madden game I owned was '04 on the PC. It had a control scheme where you played the "Coach"...you selected the play on every down and the AI would handle the rest. You never directly controlled any of the players.
Does that still exist in the current version? My wife has dropped some hints about gaming with me, but she doesn't want something too complex (like your usual control scheme for just about any game). I know she's into football (Colts fan)...so this would be an easy way to get her into something. I could break out the old game, but I figured I'd see if the current one has this first, as something more up to date would be more appealing.
Thanks!

Ugh, you dirty pitiful excuse for a gamer.
Don't have '08. As of '07 this was still an option.
EDIT: Not entirely helpful since you were asking about '08, but I honestly doubt they'd have pulled it out since last year. I'm sure somebody else who actually has '08 will be along shortly.
Even though I get the joke and find it funny, I must defend myself. *Ahem*
How dare you insult me in a joking, non-serious manner!
I am not really outraged, but I shall pretend to be in a display of internet bravado.
I now proclaim Madden to be the standard by which all other football games are to be measured, and mock you from the safety of distant anonymity for insinuating otherwise.
Now, I randomly flame you in a manner totally unrelated to any other content in the thread. I shall make crude insinuations about members of your family, and question your sexual preference.
I sign off by saying "pwned".
I think that's how this works, right?
Not that I know of...it was still in '07, and I thought that came after the bad coaching game.
I don't know that it was called a "coaching mode" or anything, but I know you play by simply selecting plays and letting the AI do the grunt work. Then just focus on your roster and what not.
I guess it's possible they axed it for '08, but like I said I doubt it. I'd just do some googling about '08, or maybe check gamefaqs, if nobody here can answer. Poke around enough and you should see mention of this mode, to verify that it is there.
and if it's in the game
it's in the game
