It provides the strategy that the hardcore fan will demand, but with very easy-to-use controls and assistance for more casual fans. Football will no longer be intimidating for the casual user.? NFL Head Coach reinvents football gaming by introducing the first 3D strategy sports game that challenges gamers to build and manage every aspect of a football team from the ground up.

Your status as a coaching legend will rise and fall based on all of your actions as you strive to become the greatest head coach of all time. Behind the desk, on the practice field, or while wearing the headset on game days, take the reins of your favorite NFL team and lead it to victory.

November 12, 200520 yr Yeah, I knew about this and was intrigued. Seems like a good idea, in theory. Hopefully it's deep enough that it shouldn't have just been included in the Madden season mode (which, as far as ownership goes and really DOING something with your team, doesn't offer that much). They should also do scenario's from past teams if possible. I want to do the full-on Marvin Lewis scenario from 13 years of being doodoo, to them hiring me so I can do something with the franchise...
November 13, 200520 yr This reminds me of a college game for the PC a while back (can't remember the name) where you just recruited and did all the inner workings of a head coach, you didn't even play the games.
