Tell Josh Looman that he should make another head coach game, if he does I will preorder it in a heart beat.

Mainly because they had to rebuild franchise mode for the ground up. They had to fix alot of problems that was in franchise mode. In madden 11 they will start to add things from HC 09. But you can't expect them to it all in one year. They will build up it next year.

I will stop complaining now. I was soooo excited for online franchise after NCAA last year had online dynasty. And even more excited after the annoucement at E3 and now dissappointed that there is so much missing.

Great information. I'm convinced that Madden 10 will be much better than NCAA 10.

I'm convinced Madden NFL 10 will not only be better than NCAA whatever, but this game will be the GREATEST FOOTBALL GAME EVER MADE. You heard it here first. (I should just start looking for another job around the first of August, lord knows I won't be keeping my current one following August 14th.)

I know from playing Head Coach '09 that it certainly had it's merits.There are aspects of that game that would work very well in a Madden game.

That being said,give these guys a break.Eventually it will happen.

Head Coach '09 isn't the perfect game.It's gameplay was lacking,you couldn't edit enough and the logic wasn't perfect in that game;Jags let Garrard go and pick up Andrew Walter who just had a 50 qb rating for the Raiders the year before.Qb's are in week 12 with 5 td's and 27 picks but remain the starter.The sim stats were pretty broken ala Madden '08.Yes overall it's a very good game that the devs did a great job on and a cleaned up Head Coach '10 could be great.

I think if you don't dwell on the few things you'd like out of Head Coach you may find Madden '10 to be a game you can really appreciate with all the great additions these devs have given us.

Yeah I understand what they have been doing during this time and why there wont be a Head Coach 10. I was just trying to give Ian a hard time that's all, I am sure they have worked their butts off and so far I am anxious to buy Madden 10.

Well, I guess this question is more for Donny then, but is that part of the plan going forward? I don't want a direct port of Head Coach, but I would like to see several elements of that in future madden iterations. I was hoping we'd get some of that this year, but I totally understand the need for a solid foundation coming first. I just hope that is part of the plan for next year and going forward. There are plenty of people clamoring for things like expanded rosters for training camp, practice squads, trading future draft picks, restricted free agency, etc.
