Head Coach gives you the option to continue the career of an existing NFL head coach or create your own. As a result, the game is a test of preparation and strategy rather than of your prowess with an analog stick. However, unlike EA's Madden franchise, you won't have direct control of your players on the field. You have the ability to sign and trade players, scout draft prospects, call plays, and perform just about every other task that you can imagine a coach/GM being responsible for.

NFL Head Coach 09 places you in command of an NFL franchise. Although the game lacks the slick presentation of longer-tenured sports franchises, Head Coach brings a strategic depth that one would expect from managing a sports franchise and offers a rewarding experience to those willing to endure hours of menu navigation.Ĭustom schemes can confuse even the elite NFL signal callers. In this regard, EA's NFL Head Coach 09 manages to strike an effective balance. They must offer a fun and engaging gaming experience while remaining as authentic as reasonably possible. Simulation sports games face a difficult burden.
