Questions About NFL Head Coach 09?

Do you have any questions about NFL Head Coach 09? Producer Josh Looman has offered to take the time to respond to topics the community would be like to know more about. I’ll be compiling a list of questions to send off within the next day or two so make sure to leave your suggestions in the comments.

It’s hard to believe that not only is Madden 09 two weeks away but so is Head Coach (if purchasing the 20th Anniversary Edition). It’s going to be difficult budgeting time with all the sports titles releasing over the next two plus months.

i went to the link u gave with the few pages provided from the prima guide, that was cool stuff…..

i was wondering more about how well the wear and tear system works for injuries. a little more in depth word on this would be cool…

and also i read that FAs pop up on your clipboard and if you’re interested you can enter the bidding war. i assume you can seek out the FAs you’re interested in and dont have to just wait around for them to randomly pop up, correct?

also with the last HC u spent your week running practices and all that which usually ended up being a waste of time. could he expound on the gameplan choices or whatever is equated to the week to week practicing in this game?

Couple of questions

1) I had read on another forum that if we start the year prior to the draft, the teams will have all the picks that they’ve accumulated (in real life). Did I read that correctly? Or – will we be able to truly change history (i.e. trading Jared Allen somewhere else for a different package of players/picks)?

2) Given the fact that the Madden 09 demo will soon be released, I’m wondering if there will also be a playable demo of sorts for NFLHC? Would be cool to see.

This doesn’t have anything to do with Head Coach 09, but, I was just watching Sportsnet TV in my home, and they hade a story about Madden 09 and Bucs Favre screen you came across. It appears EA is prepared for Favre to return. That screen you came across a few days ago is one of four pictures of Farve EA has prepared for his return. One player model with him in a Packers uni, and three others of him in the Vikings, Jets and Bucs unis. If he ends up going to someone other than those four teams I’m not sure what EA will do. Either way, EA is prepared for Favre to return, and he will be in Madden 09. As for the cover, it looks like they will leave the cover unchanged.

Does EA have plans to introduce head coach press conferences into the gameplay? These post game press conferences go a long way towards connecting the public with the team’s head coach, and in my opinion, are a realistic and needed feature in a game like this.

Pasta,

Can you ask him if this game is going to move to an April release date (more draft related)?

Can they patch the draft classes so they scramble the players… ie. so if you play through the 15 years you don’t fall into the pattern of taking this guy this year and that guy that year…

Can they patch or sell more draft years on psn xbL?

Is graphical online play top of the list for next year?

Is next year a certainty?

I’ll have more…

Logistically, is a online franchise mode possible?

I like the idea about pregame and post game press conferences. They ask the coach Q’s and depending on the responses the media, players (players read the paper) owner, and staff are effected.

How is player progression tooled? If you play your 2nd string a lot will they get better then if they sit the bench, or won’t it matter? If you have a great season will you get better progression then if you don’t?
