Should There Be Another NFL Head Coach Game?

[quote comment="43296"]I think they are going to be putting some of the Head Coach stuff into Madden 2010. Donny Moore from the HC team is now the lead franchise dev for Madden 2010. And they probably pilfered a few of the other HC guys for the Madden team, at least I’d hope they did. With a little bit of help and being actually able to control players a HC/Madden combination would be phenomenal.[/quote]
They better and I remember something being said about 10(2010) and dline and oline control. Dline and Oline interaction blows….hard. I could care less about everyone and their chain gangs complaining but I use the giants. i’ve been using them for years and its impossible to bring pressure with a 4man rush. all that aside instead of creating a whole new coaching game just combine the efforts of both studios to create a better man.

if they make it coo, if not i wont loose any sleep.

They need to fix draft AI in madden before anything else. Drafting QBs when they don’t need QB’s and other positions is kinda stupid. And maybe make some trades happen. Devote one guy to every division to update rosters.

I voted no, but there are still a lot of cool sideline cut scenes that they should add to Madden. Maybe even an above the huddle view while your picking your play.

I will never ever buy another Head Coach game, it was awful.

plzzz make head coach 10. i love this game. it was 10 times better than madden and i loved madden. they should do it like they did this year. have madden and hc for 80 or 90 bucks, madden for the regular 60, and hc for 40-50 bucks. that is perfect.

for real i love this game i disliked the first one but this one keeps me in to it I’m not going to buy another ea game if they don’t come out with another one next year… well maybe NCAA lol

When I first purchased the CE Madden with Head Coach in it. My reason was specifically for HEAD COACH. I wouldn’t pay extra just for a collector’s edition. I’m a Lifelong Madden player/fan. Been so since it’s inception. But, when I got home with the CE Madden. I pulled out Head Coach first. And, it never came out of the 360 for 2 weeks! It took THAT long(which was long enough to get annoyed by some of the bugs) to put in Madden for the first time. And, Madden is the game that I look forward to the most all year. I took time out from Head Coach so the bugs could get fixed. I LOVE MADDEN. I ENJOY HEAD COACH. ONLINE PLAY IS BEST WITH NCAA…Like so many have said here, I must agree with. I would like to see Head Coach intergrated with Madden so that there would be the SIM Madden, Casual Madden, and the “Skillz” Madden. But, not at the expense of losing any of it’s depth. If that is too much content or would interfere with Madden being a better game, I would much rather see EA simply use the current game engine that is already available on Head Coach and just give us updated features/rosters/coaches/fixes than to NOT HAVE IT! It shouldn’t take as much from the talent pool to simply do that. It’s not like you have to remake the game from the ground up. Include it with Madden or offer it every couple of years. Maybe bring it back when Madden has returned to glory. Right now, Madden needs dedicated focus. Also, I liked the idea of a NCAA Head Coach too! That sounds VERY interesting.

I want another NFL Street series game this time. Go back to the roots game. Nobody wants to be a coach thats lame.

I want to play Arcade NFL football but EA dropped the ball on NFL tour. it was lame. they need to stick to the Street series and call it NFL street 4.

[quote comment="43249"]Here’s a thought: instead of trying to milk the NFL exclusive license for everything it’s worth, how about adding the best of what Head Coach offers into Madden so that we don’t end up having to pay for 2 seperate products. True next gen sports games (like MLB The Show and it’s RTTS mode) try to offer more bang for the buck, not less.[/quote]

I agree

[quote comment="43281"][quote comment="43250"]I voted no.. but only because they should incorporate elements of head coach into Madden, there’s no reason to separate the games. I can’t imagine that there are casual franchise players that would oppose more depth.

Rebuild Madden into the great game it once was.[/quote]

i agree completely. Bring back Owner Mode with the Head Coach elements for the gamers who want to play a sim football game. Keep Franchise Mode for the more casual gamer.[/quote]

i also completely agree…the offseason mode in franchise should be almost a replica of head coach…more depth for madden franchise mode would not hurt a thing…it would only return madden to the glory it once was!!!

I think it is a great game and should continue. I play it more than Madden as I like the challenge of building a contender.

Head Coach should be canceled. It should’ve never hit the market from EA in the first place. They should’ve been using those elements and resources in Madden and we would’ve gotten a complete game rather than the complete disaster that Madden has been this generation.

I respect people’s desire for HC to go on if they like it, but if you play Madden also then you have to realize how HC hurts Madden’s development as resources are spread more thinly and Madden continues to miss key elements as a result.

I love this game I hope they continue it. Everyone Incorperates this game into madden and there is no way they can fit they all into one game. This game is for the hardcore fans but I totally like coaching the game than actually taking controls of the players for the unfairness of people cheesing on madden. Give it one more yr at least.

saw my dick off.

They absolutely can. You’ve been fooled.

I’d also like to point out that one of the leads for Head Coach is now working on franchise for Madden 2010, as confirmed by Madden Lead Designer Ian Cummings. So, there’s a good chance that Head Coach will be dead, but the positive result is that Madden will be a better game for it.

I was the same way, I played head coach about 90% of the time and madden 10% of the time. It took me a while to get all the fun out of Head coach due to the lack of depth in the game (isnt it 15 seasons max?) and my custom head coach really never developed fast (a superbowl win a 3 playoff appearances got me a 42 ovr)…
I loved just being the gm of the team and simming the games. The depth this game brought was amazing, you actually signed people to participate in training camp, your rookies didnt get signed the day after the draft, and you had numerous options for contracts.
they need to implement so many ideas from this game into madden, like player philosophies. Seriously, a guy like wes welker is a great fit for what the patriots want at WR, but hes not going to be the same guy for a team like arizona. They also need to take this whole draft system (player ratings, “potential”, cpu draft IQ, combine, scouting, pro days, and training camp holdouts) and put it into madden.
the only things wrong with this game that they would need to fix before implementing is the fact there’s no practice squad, and players demanded outragous contracts in free agency (Hines ward always leaves pittsburgh and demands 10 mil a year and a 1 or 2 year deal)

EXPLAIN TO ME PLZZZ WHA THIS ALL MEANS ..IF THERE IS A HIGHLIGHT SHOW THIS CAN BE THE GREATEST MADDEN OF ALL TIME

Please make a new game! NFL Head Coach is one of my favorite games ever.
