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

[That Guy]

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

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

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

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."

Man, I hate EA!

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

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...

Are you also asked to deal with this?
