EA Sports steams ahead into uncharted waters

User Rating: 8.4 | NFL Head Coach XBOX
EA Sports put out a sports-management sim, a game genre that isn't too popular here in the US. While popular overseas, the sports-management sim hasn't been too popular stateside.

When I first started playing, I manufactured my coach avatar. Not too much selection here, but I did the best I could. Next came the interview process, I don't know if I answered the questions the right way, (or if there even is a right way), but I got 5 offers from teams around the NFL.

I turned down a job offer from my favorite team and went to the Raiders instead. I moved into my office shortly after the Super Bowl and quickly got to know my staff (even firing a couple of mediocre coaches).

I spent a lot of time managing my squad, and it took me quite a while to get used to the controls, and some of them are quite frustrating, like being able to make 2 roster decisions at a time??

But all in all I found this game to be highly addictive. I often spend many hours at a time playing. Even when I make up my mind to quit playing, I often break it without even knowing.
