Head Coach is exactly what the title presents. You get to be a head coach for pretty much any team as long as you pass the interview process. After that you get Team proposals and pick a team. Then you go through and pick the players you want to re-sign or get rid of. Simming anytime during this process pretty much screws everything up so make sure you take the time and go through all the processes. After signing and releasing players and staff you get ready for the draft by sending your scout out to find players to fill your empty slots. Before the draft you get the chance of making trade offers. Which is great because you can trade crappy players for first round draft picks (If you play your cards right) After the draft, you sign the new players a contract and run drills in practise. (Be aware that you do not become a player during practise or games; you watch the computer do it's thing) During practise and games you try to motivate your players either aggresively (you yell)or nicely (you say "Good Job!!"), in order to highten their spirits and get them to play like pros should. The big con of this game is the loading screens. The loading screens take about 25 sec each time and really take up a crap load of time. You will literally not play a game in career mode until about 12hrs into it. The good thing is, is that if you keep winning games you start becoming a legend and start getting better staff who trains your players better and get them ready faster for gameday. All in all I'd give this a 7 outa 10 on the scale. Thank you for reading and please be so kind as rating this review helpful...thank you and happy shopping!!! :) :)Read full review
I like the game because it gives you the chance to be the coach of basically any team you want and for once it isnt a game where you take over and chuck a 90-yard TD pass on every play because you dont get to play and arm accuracy and strength is realistic. It's also fun because you need to strategize. Say your up against a team with good safteys, then you just run the ball alot, otherwise you will lose for sure. If your up against a team with good WR's then just play your guys farther back to make an interception. I like this game alot and do reccomend it :)..... The only bad thing is that the graphics arn't the best and it takes a long time to load.
Being a high school football coach, I enjoy the detail of this game. As the head coach for an NFL team, players get to make personnel decisions, scout players, and basically be the GM for the team during the offseason. During the season, the coach calls plays. Players will learn what it's like to depend on the performance of others to improve your personal reputation. All the little decisions impct your player rating. I recommend the game to football fans. Although EA Sports has done a fairly good job of simplifying the game and providing helps, I don't think the average non-diehard fan would enjoy it.
Its a pretty heavily detailed game with all sorts of nuances of the experience. It goes so in depth though you feel like you have to play forever to get anywhere. When you coach in a game it is so mindnumbingly easy to obliterate the opposing team, and there is no way to make it harder, unless maybe it gets harder as the years go on, but I just havent the time or energy to do that these days. Its a pretty good game, just dont make any plans for a long time when you start.
I love the game it is exciting and I cannot stop playing it. This game is everything I expected.
