NFL Head Coach

A good start

User Rating: 7 | NFL Head Coach PC

NFL HC is a decent game. I used to play Madden on coach mode sometimes and this is a little like that.

PRO
- Draft is well done (but odd)
- Great concept
- Don't have to listen to Madden and Michaels!

CON
- Keyboard shortcuts are wrong. If it says press [ I have to press ]
- Draft is screwy - how is it I got Reggie Bush at #7
- Player AI is horrid. With 2 min to go, and 4th and 3, why in the world would my QB throw a long lateral. Even stupid QBs aren't that stupid
- My DBs wake up one day and get a dozen picks, and other times don't exist. Same gameplan. Same practices.
- The interface is awful. Slow. Too many menus and sub menus. Its obvious this game was designed for console.
- Rosters are 6 months or more old. What was EA thinking?

Despite all that the game is pretty fun.
