If, you thought franchise mode of the
Madden NFL series was in-depth, you have a lot to learn. NFL Head Coach lets
you control almost everything within your football organization. This includes
who your draft, who you sign (both players and coaches) and what your team does
on and off the field. That is not all, as you can control your own career as an
NFL Head Coach. You decide who you work for, what your philosophy is and how
you motivate your players during practices and games.
The Story: You are the offensive or defensive coordinator (You choose which one
you want to be) of the NFL Champions and now you are taking a stab at being an
NFL Head Coach. Along the way you must make many decisions which can make or
break your career. Your ultimate goal is to surpass the likes of Chuck Noll and
Vince Lombardi, setting yourself as the greatest Head Coach of all time
The Gameplay is not as boring as it may sound; standing on the sidelines
calling the plays, looking at the stats and analyzing the other team is just as
exciting as controlling the players. In fact, I found that I could play this
game longer and go through more games without stopping than I could with other
football games (Including Madden NFL 2005, etc.)
There is great replay value in NFL Head Coach. Once you have completed one
season or an entire career you can decide to work for a different team in a
different league/division, you can utilize different motivation and philosophy
tactics among other things which keep the game interesting.
I recommend this game to any legitimate football fan, who has ever found
themselves calling the plays that should’ve been called while watching
football. This game is also for anyone who has found themselves talking about
which coaches should be fired/hired and which players should be traded/signed.
For the people that fall into this category, it is time to stop condemning the
real life coaches of the NFL football teams. It is time to create your own
legacy and prove that you can do better than everyone else.
To those people who just watch a game or two a year or just the Superbowl, this
game is not for you. You are better off with games in the Madden NFL Series.
