I just got thiz game today for something towaste my time on . I loved the first one , not only for the strategy element and the fact that I love the game of Football , but for the sort of RPG element it had . Interviewz , player chemistry , seeing yourself sitting in the office or at the table for staff meetingz . It all just made you feel IN THE GAME . Now that Im looking at the videoz , thiz just lookz like a Football simulator
This being on the Xbox 360, I was expecting the graphics to be more advance. They actually look no better than the first xbox version, which is the only version that I played. Do people play this game on xbox live still?
Awesome idea and concept for a game, but too bad it didn't sell to well. I wish they would work head coach into Madden somehow. Like if you do franchise, like when they used to have owner mode, they could like a head coach mode. You could be the head coach for different teams during franchise. But that would be too much work for EA... who suck at making video games.
i pull a nick saban in my living room. lol one day i was playing in the super bowl and we missed a field goal that would have tied us up before half time and i through my headset down on the floor and yelled FUCK! my dad was like wat the hell is going on! lol I LOVE THIS GAME BECAUSE I LOVE TO CONTROL A TEAM , MAKE AUDIBLES AND PLAYS! <3333
I get 16-0 if i coach, 16-0 if i don't.. Easy game. Passing is so easy on this game, and if you want to rush, sim mode. Although i am shit at defense, good cbs, but a horrible d line. I think the highest rush def i got was 25th.
This is the best football game ever made .......... There is a difference between fans and fanatics ...... Fans like madden ... Fanatics like head coach ........ Madden takes no strategy ....... Head Coach is no dummy ...... See where I'm going with this ....... Bought the anniversary edition of madden just so I could have this game a month early ...... Haven't bought a madden since ...... Not to mention only played the anniversary edition twice...... BoneHeads stick with madden......
@IBloodSweatTears Yeah it was because their was more to do, and their were audibles in that game. Their was one game where on NFL Head Coach 09 I played, and I made a mistake and called a onside kick while winning the game. The other team took the lead before 1:00 before halftime. But my team march down the field and scored with :3 seconds and took back the momentum haha. I went on to win that game. The first one is a lot more fun though, but it's a little on the easy side.
@quantae06 Yea your right, They put some thought into that first one, it was a fresh new concept and Idea & they did a good job, I meen. the trade engine isn't great, free agency either, but I just like it better.
this game is super fun if u dont have it dont diss it until u play it all of the games r close just like in real life and u gotta call the right plays at the right time i was down by 6 with 1:48 and i had to drive down and score and it was the funnest ive had with a game in a long time its not like madden when you can throw 60 yard bums all the time u gotta really throw check downs and stuff to keep the chains moving
Whole game is a waste of time and money. You get screwed over constantly the more games you win - especially if you need your 9th win! LOL never seen a game in history that is designed to screw you over because its losing!! DO NOT buy this !
This game even has a buillt-in fail safe that if your winning towards the end of the fourth quarter, an Icon on your xbox pops up and says something like "this game cannot be played- please remove and clean with a clean cloth" or somthing like that LOL ever seen a video game thats a sore loser ? This is it!
The clock management even favors the computer! At the 2 minute warning if the CPU is playing offense it stops the clock after each play, that wont happen for you. Also if u try to kick a fieldgoal with 8 seconds left the clock with run down to 0:00 and you cant kick! If you dont believe try it and see what happens. LOL a video game that hates losing so its designed to screw you !! DO NOT BUY
i love doing the draft part, i got chris johnson and jerod mayo in the first round and i'm the colts! you can totally change the whole real NFL story and sorta make it your fantasy team (for rookies)
why did u decline that penalty? opp 39 is better then opp 49. i guess maybe ur thinking that 49 is higher then 39 so that puts u at better field position but when its your opponents side u want to be have a lower number. in other words if ur at opp 1 then i would say thats pretty good field position.
in my 2nd year of this game in the draft i got a Qb thats compaired to Tom Brady, he was a beast and i started him his first year and he got us to the super bowl!! i couldnt believe that. the team i used was the Vikings too. oh and Darren McFadden is wack as hell in this game.
they could have at least have made it a third person view of the coach, where you could walk around the sidelines, and give feedback to the players sitting on the bench.
This is like the PG-13 Disney version of the Nfl.10 Bucks if this game had what coaches really say when a play fucks up,this game would get more appeal than it does.Coaches F-bomb like crazy,even Billacheck enough said
the only thing good about this game is that the offensive plays are more realistic sounding than madden plays..for example on this game its Z short 92 dive..on madden its HB dive..other than that head coach 09 is impossible and terrible
RKR808. He says that this is a waste of money and boring, but it appears to be pretty obvious that he has no interest in coaching simulations nor does he understand them.
I actually didn't like this head coach. the first one was way more fun and i played that one a lot more than this one. I would have to say to people that they should buy the first one.
i would but american and europian consoles and games are programmed differently, they never made this game PAL compatible meaning i'd have to buy an american xbox too, waaaay to much money for me to waste lol
this looks like an wasome game i guess i was never into the whole coach thing but can you just sim the game or do you have to actually like call the plays for every game
Unfortunately many of you do not have any idea what you're talking about. There is MUCH more to this game than just calling plays. You manage a franchise for up to 15 seasons. The draft and scouting is utterly spectacular. Each player has a personality type that governs how they react to every action of the coach (you).
The game just has so much depth. It is meant for people that love managing a franchise.
Some people play games to do more than just run players around.
well i love the game better than all the rocket catching and glitching online...for madden 09 and the rest of the series that came out...also cuby maybe can play sometime. i play with the broncos though
Well nvm usually xbox 360 games r like 60 bucks well where did u buy it at a pawn shop or something or did u buy it used or did u just get a new one with a good deal???
AHHHHHHH NUTS!
