EA Sports NFL Head Coach

[Skratchy_Seal]

Anyone have this game? How is it? My girlfriend wants to get me this game really bad, but I don't really know anything about it. I've been looking for it at my local video store with no luck. It sounds really interesting, though.

Boring. Makes me long for Madden 2007.

I'll get it eventually because I like the head coach aspect but it starts off really slow. When you get started on your coaching career it takes a long time before you do anything interesting. Expect about an hour untill you start playing any games.

The scouting and draft were pretty nice.

So you pretty much have all the GM/coach duties like trades, drafts, salary cap, starters/backups, camps/practices, playbooks?

How's the actual experience during the football games? I'm assuming that is what the fun part is.

Bump for sequel.

For the record, I was excited for the first game, until I played it. Too many misses and not enough hits. I actually mailed the product back to EA so they could send me a new copy I could then return to the retailer (EA's advice, not mine, they didn't want to cut me a check, so they made Best Buy do it, hilarious).

Everyone knows how stagnant EA's approach to the NFL has been since it locked up the exclusive rights contract. It's big given countless suggestions on how to improve itself and taken only a token to heart. Head Coach was a disappointment, if EA can improve upon the idea in the sequel than I will be hopeful that brighter days are ahead.

This was possibly the worst game I ever bought.

Very interesting, I always wanted to get the first one but never did. I'll get this one just to get it....

What was wrong with the first one??

get on your copy of madden, play coach mode. Add a few features, bam, a game that should have just been included in madden.

It was just a bunch of features that should be included in Madden's franchise mode but are not. Then they are played on a difficult user interface and poor AI.

Madden had really laid an egg so far. 2ksports was the future of gaming till EA stoled the NFL license. I wish there was another football game i could play besides Madden that has the NFL rosters

I liked parts of both series equal and others I didn't care for. Both games were at their heart when they were "borrowing" a lot of each other's better ideas.
