Some people don’t like to play football. It’s dirty, it’s painful and you end up showering with a bunch of men at the end of the day. Meanwhile, the coach gets to sit on the sidelines telling people what to do and he only breaks a sweat if the team plays in Miami. If you’re the type who hates to play the game but loves to be the guy calling the shots, EA has a game for you.
The sequel to EA’s 2006 title, NFL Head Coach 09 was announced yesterday for the PS3 and the 360. Similar to games like Baseball Mogul and Soccer Manager Pro, the game allows you to call all the shots on everything from scouting, team management and game time decisions. A press release on EA’s website describes the game as “a unique NFL experience that gives gamers the power to make decisions that define their career and ultimately the fate of their franchise as a head coach in the NFL.”
While the first game in the series was plagued with bad AI and numerous gameplay problems, EA is hoping the sequel will pull more sports simulation fans in and create a winning franchise that can keep up with the best-selling Madden games.
Although no release date has been announced yet a mid summer release is expected to coincide with Madden’s regular August release. So get your clipboard and headset ready, because you’ve got some plays to call.
