[quote name='Blade3D']Also, in Madden 13 are we only going to be able to play as an individual player or just a coach calling plays? Or will it stay the same where we will be able to switch between players?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, as Doom said, it's all optional. They're adding the same feature in NHL 13, but calling it "GM Connected" (kinda surprised they're launching a new feature across multiple games in the same year). You can just run the team, control the whole team, or just play as a single player. In NHL 13, they're even giving you the option of having your team be co-op, so you could theoretically have an "online franchise" with groups of your friends competing together as a team against other groups.
That concept is pretty incredible, but is probably way too big to pull off. Not sure if that will be an option in Madden, but it would be a way to deal with the overlap in this league. 2 members per team. You could have one guy play offense and the other play defense. Or do the QB + RB / LB + DB tandem thing. It's pretty surprising that EA is giving us so many options though. Feels very unlike them.
