    I wish I would have waited for version 2. I was hoping it would be just a expanded Madden Franchise mode. The interface is laborious. I wish I would have waited for version 2. I was hoping it would be just an expanded Madden Franchise mode. The interface is laborious. Things can be quite annoying, if not confusing. I’d also like to insert my standard gripe about there not being a manual. Are copywriters just not in the budget for today’s game or do they want to whore us out of a few more bucks by putting out a game guide that has padded info just to make it thick. How about next time you charge us an extra $5 to buy the game and include a manual, not a pamphlet. It’s pretty hard to get a feel for your team. There are no pictures and the stats are hard to research for each player. Again, it has a horrible interface. I did enjoy the draft part which was very nicely done. The presentation here was very nice and it felt like a good sim. I also prefer the practices and workouts in the off season. I like the idea of putting the players through the drills to boost their stats and prepare them. It works much better and feels better than mini games in Madden. Games aren’t much fun either. You give each group of players strategies, but it again is hard to manage. You end up adjusting things while your coordinators make the calls. I would still like to see every play; even if I let my coordinators make most of the calls. In my opinion, they will hopefully take the good things from this game and mash it with Madden this year. I’d rather get that and play in coach mode during the games, but have a Coach style draft and practices. Bear in mind that I did not purchase the last Madden and the one before was for the PS2. I am now switching over to the PC again. I want to return to the days where I was President, Gm and coach, but didn’t control the players. Bottom line is the interface made me feel like I was playing an online Flash game.… Expand

    As it stands, NFL Head Coach will appeal to die-hard fantasy football fanatics and Madden franchise mode junkies, and to little else. Still, that's all EA ever wanted.

    Still, while Head Coach is ultimately an imperfect football-management simulation, it is also, almost in spite of itself, a frequently fun one. Those with a penchant for serious football management are most certainly going to find things to like about it.

    EA Sports is best known for its other monster football game, "Madden NFL." But where "Madden" lets you control real-life players and plays on the field, "Head Coach" takes you behind the action, putting you in the Gatorade-scented shoes of a coach you create from scratch.
