It was great, it really gave you the indepth of a nfl coach. It's tough, but it's nice to know that you did everything and you can fire people if they give you trouble, lol
Game play was boring. The graphics were average nothing great. It was fun on the part of going back through the draft. Not worth the time and effort. Played about 10 hours and was only at week 3. I love coaching in every aspect of the game but this game is just missing to much for me to bother with. Do youself a favor and rent the game before you go out and buy this for more then $20. I was somewhat dissapoint and felt like i was cheated by ea sports. This is def. One easports game to stay away from!
It's an ok game. It gives you a good feel of the activeities of a head coach, all that is involved signing players, draft day, etc. Game play is very slow, it goes day by day, and you have an alloted time to get everything done in. The reason i bought the game was for the nfl draft. I love drafting teams. The drafting i think is awsome in this game, It just takes forever to get there.
The concept is unprecedented, but lacks in the communication between you and your players. You can't day good things about your players, only negative things when they make mistakes. You can't say things like great run or nice catch or anything like that which, to me is very important to show my appreciatationfor their efforts. This game is very in depth, in regards to signing players, restricted free agents and even signing coaches. Overall, I would give this game a 6 out of 10. Good things are the depth, graphics. The bad things are communication issues and coach -to- coach interaction.
Reading the reviews and renting a game before committing to purchase is always good advice. When I rented this game I did NOT want to stop playing after it went back I bought it ASAP! I totally enjoy the details..calling the plays, scouting, drafting players, re-signing players...FIRING players, I mean c'mon who doesn't want to do that? Any true NFL fan with a head for the game will enjoy NFL Head Coach. Totally worth the money.
If you are an extreme NFL fan then you will like this game! Its time consuming but fun! I really have to tell you, it is time CONSUMING!! This game has you do basically every little thing. The Draft is awesome! Its also cool during an actual game. You do it all, coaching from the sidelines to staff meetings. As said, if you LOVE the NFL and like coaching then you'll enjoy this game.
My son wanted this game and I got it for a great price. He really has not said to much about it since he plays Madden 07 a lot. But he does play it. I bought it brand new.
NFL Head Coach .. the title says it all . You find yourself in the top position from the start of the game . No , you don't get to throw the ball or actually make a touchdown .. but , you get to hire , fire , call the plays , set your playbook to your liking , etc. ... if you want to play Q.B. or rush the ball over the line , play Madden or NCAA Football . If you want to call the shots from the drivers seat ... this is the game to play !
Pretty boring game; get's old fast. Only for those people who love the ins and outs of running an nfl franchise. It's kinda like madden, but without the option to actually play in the games. Good idea, but it just doesn't work.
The concept of the game is great. It is very time consuming, but it is also in real life. You are living the life of an NFL coach. Going through all the aspects of the game from the inside out. I agree the practices are dull and long, but it's all part of it. I look at it as a challenge to start from the bottom and work up.
This is a very in-depth look at the management of an NFL team. I like the game, but I think it is much too time-consuming and I will stick with Madden franchise mode.
The game is alright, but it really falls short in comparison to Madden or NCAA football. It looks as if EA has just thrown it together, overall it's not to great, but it's not horrible either. The concept is great, but someone just needs to spend a little more time developing it. Save your money and buy Madden!!!!
