[cougarjake13]

<p>anyone know about this game ?? i've seen a few commercials and checked out some info on playstation.com </p><p>is it basically madden without having to play the actual games / seasons or do you have more off field options to set up the team, organization, etc. than in a normal madden game but also have to play the games / seasons&nbsp;???</p><p>i'll definitely rent it to check it out first, most of the time when i play madden i'm more interested in the off field stuff then playing the actual seasons </p><p><img height="100" src="http://home.comcast.net/~bob80/RFnetCougarJake13.jpg" width="300" border="0" /></p>

<p>not sure if this is the &quot;head coach&quot; thing you guys are talking about but this is a pretty cool preview for madden 07 for 360....basically focuses on superstar mode where you only control your player the whole time and you can skip through any plays where your guy isn't on the field</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/sports/madden07/news.html?sid=6152935&mode=previews">http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/sports/madden07/news.html?sid=6152935&amp;mode=previews</a></p>

I'm talking about the head coach game.

[Bossanova]

Its you as the coach, running practice, in the draft war room, cutting guys.&nbsp; Calling the plays in the games of course and see all the behind the scenes crap

[Bama]

<p>The fun part is actually playing&nbsp;the game.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Strategy is for nerds.</p>

[Bossanova]

I completely agree

[kellermcgee21]

<p>this is the first i heard about this game...fuckin stupid....here is a review</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/sports/nflheadcoach/review.html">http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/sports/nflheadcoach/review.html</a></p>

<p>Mark my words, this is the first step of EA separating the Franchise mode from the regular Madden game and forcing you to buy two different games if you want to use both modes.</p><p>They already did this with soccer. There's FIFA 06, and if you want to play the World Cup, you have to buy a different game.</p>

[Bama]

<p>Is one of those only strategy? I thought they were different games. One with club teams and the other with national teams. </p>

[Bama]

<p>Fuck! I didn't know that. Those sons of bitches.</p><p>Is that just once every four years? Maybe 07 will have both.</p>

[HBox]

I don't think last year's version had it either, but I didn't play it. Even if it was, its still pretty shitty to do it the time when people REALLY want to play it.<br />

[Bama]

<p>I think I'm gonna buy the World Cup one. </p><p>Might check out '07 when it comes out. </p>
