Like in FIFA's version of be a pro, you can play as yourself or the team.
In be a pro, if I'm outside centre and I call for a pass from a ruck, the halfback will do a massive pass, giving me a flat-footed standing start, getting tackled as I catch the hospital pass, rather than put it through the backline to me, if I could control the whole team it'd allow me to craft better opportunities for my pro to meet the targets.
Just an option to consider.
Cheers!
Interesting Idea, thanks for your feedback @Mike Cardno !
