Do DIFFERENT TEAMS play according to their REAL strategies?

We were talking about NFL 2k5 when I made that remark........

Even after a whole season of playing with random teams in my franchise, Its really hard for me to see distinguishable and recognizeable team personalities, play styles and even (gasp) noticeable strengths and weaknesses based on player ratings. Altho the last observation was a bit of a stretch, I still feel like there isnt enough variability and individuality in teams, coaching styles and players to make the game feel fresh or different each game when I take control of different matchups

Not to sound brass, but it really felt like I was playing the same game in my franchise over and over again with just different colored uniforms and in a different stadium

This is one of the premiere things I think Madden should address in 2010

[Exonerated]

I had the Colts blitz 30 times against me in one game!!!

Freeney and Mathis were not being held on every play which is unrealistic. xD

unfortunately every team plays exactly the same in madden. which is why i use Dan's Team Sliders.

The answer to this is quite simple. We, just like you, thought there was a large audience of folks that love the mental aspect of football. Based on sales data for HC (which I can't talk about specifically), the market for this kind of game is extremely small in the US. Games like this do much better in Europe but American Football isn't at all popular across the pond. If more people bought the game, we'd do it again. In our opinion, Head Coach 09 is a incredibly deep experience that's done at a high level of quality. The fact that sales are nowhere near that of our other football products makes it a difficult business decision to continue with that product. Probably said too much. I'm out... Phil

That's sad news.

This is probably the wrong thread and wrong forum to address this in, but hey, this is where I saw Phil's quote. There should really be more than one NFL game per year.

Not a lot of people really knew about Head Coach. It's the first next gen version of that game. When they gave it a try, most people liked it.

For me, the online aspect of that game really hurt it, but I still played it. I would definitely buy HC 10, but yeah, I guess I'm not a judge of the normal consumer. After all, here I am posting about it!

Dang it. I want more NFL games! I was looking forward to another Madden/Head Coach combo package.

If you ever played Indy, all Manning does is freaking audible, but I think that's the only team that does anything close to what teams really do.
