Thats a sweet idea for a game. I'm gonna have to get that. Hopefully it doesn't suck.

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

why couldn't they just add it to madden? its probably like the other spin offs (EA Sports Arena League Fottball anyone? NFL Street? NCAA was okay though.)

I think its probably going to be like Football Manager (only for the NFL instead of European Soccer). I haven't actually seen anything extensive about yet though.

I heard about it a long time ago. Probably close to two years. In the developmental stage. This is the first I heard of it since.

Now, will Bill Cowher break his leg due to the curse?

yeah, but with madden and all that already out for so many years (with coach mode and offseason stuff etc) how long could this take, and how is it different enough to be worth $50?

now that they've announced the cover art, it looks like we'll actually have a release this year.

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

Anyone heard anything good about it? I enjoy the franchise mode so much. What more will the do for a whole game like that? Although, I have missed designing plays.

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

EA is making manager games like this for soccer also. i have played it extensivly, FIFA manager 06, very good game. i assume this will be similar, except with football instead of soccer.

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

what is the soccer game like, what makes it fun?

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

[QUOTE=diehardskin2982]what is the soccer game like, what makes it fun?[/QUOTE]

that's actually what I was wondering as well because I get tired of sitting through Madden games all the time. I mostly enjoy the offseasons and adding players.

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

why dont they just make madden better instead of making this crap

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

[QUOTE=diehardskin2982]what is the soccer game like, what makes it fun?[/QUOTE]

in the soccer game, you pick a team, choose tactics, make transfers (signing, buying players), determine wages, you set up your training regiment, sign coaches, upgrade stadium, build new stadium, choose sponsors, sell add boards, sell your merchandise, choose formations, talk to the players. then you can watch the game be played, which is just like playing fifa 06 except the comp plays for you. you make individual orders and stuff, its very in detail. will much more sophisticated than madden franchise

I actually think I might pick that up. I get really bored playing Madden 1 player. It's just not that enjoyable for me any more. I think this is a great idea. I'll probably pick it up.

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

why not add it to madden instead of charging 50$ in addition to the 50$ for the roster update?

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

im probably not gonna get it. why not wait 2 more months till august and get the real thing.

it will probably only be released on computer, much easier to do with the mouse and keyboard. if they do release it on consoles i would be skeptical of buying it if it is anything similar to EA soccer version

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

its gonna be on x-box and ps2 i'm gonna get it just because I love the NFL. I think they'll tie something into madden though

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

I think it's a great idea. I'm happy it's released first, and if it's great, I won't get Madden.

Ha! Stickin it to EA (kinda).

I was always a SEGA fanboy anyway.

"In December 2004, EA signed an exclusive agreement with the NFL, making Madden NFL the only series allowed to use NFL team and player names. EA also signed an agreement with ESPN to become the only licensee of ESPN's brand in sports games on all platforms."[/I]

Re: New EA Game - NFL Head Coach - Cowher's on the cover
 

So is this game going to be basically a "coaching mode" game only or what?

[quote=skinsguy]So is this game going to be basically a "coaching mode" game only or what?[/quote]

yeah, like the soccer management games. You do more in depth off season stuff and more in depth weekly stuff like choosing the practice regemin and drills etc...
