I've read that there are a lot of gameplay bugs that kill the atmosphere. Can anyone give me some feedback on the gameplay experience.

Well, you should be able to score this game for around 10 bucks these days..so it's minimal risk to you.

I love this game, IMO it's in the rare air with NFL2k5 for my favorite NFL videogame of all time. And I'm sure I've spent more time on Head Coach 09 than any other sports game, period.

As to bugs, there is an update for it that helps quite a few, and if you get this game on 360, installing it to the harddrive let's it play MUCH better on gameday. It's not perfect, and has it's idiosyncrasies like all sports games have...but it is a remarkable game if you're into football strategy and planning and team building. If you're more into the action, it may not be for you.

Have you heard if the update works well for PS3 too?

I have never played it on PS3...hopefully some PS3 guys can check in here and answer how it ran post-patch for you.

Ps3 guy here it ran well after patch i played over 8 full seasons.Can be very challenging and ive also heard of people dominating.If youre into football strategy and coaching definately worth it!If youre into great graphics and supreme game play might not be ,but for ten bucks probaly worth checking out i would think.

Atmosphere is terrible...

On the field football looks terrible (though it's functional with sliders)...

But the career mode is sublime. If you're into franchise modes, this is definitely worth the price of admission considering a used copy is around 10 bucks tops.

If you like strategy sim type games and aren't hung up on graphics, etc, this is a good title.

I STILL enjoy mine two years on.

Franchise mode makes it worth it alone. I sure wish Madden would us their format.
