I'm sorry I just really need to vent, No disrespect intended.

I would really like to see the Coach mode guys get what they want but would have to say that if I played that way would be looking at other,better options.Madden has always been lacking as a good football management game.Head Coach 09 has updated rosters and is much better in this regard other than graphics and there are several PC games that aren't as visual but give you far,far more depth as a management sim.I play the games and have been on the fence about going this way to get something that gives you more sim realism than any version of Madden ever will.

I remember NFL Head Coach was difficult as hell. I though it would be really fun, but in practice it was just kind of a cluster. I never tried HC'09 though.

HC09 was way better than the first one that came out I believe around 06.It's outdated graphically but as far as a team management NFL game,it's the best on a console.

That game is amazing but in the end I think I didn't have enough players or something like that so the game froze on me.

if you added some stuff from hc06 and lots from hc09
added the flex from madden 08 (especially on pc) and the mods available, training camp etc
weekly prep and half time and round up like 2k5

editable rosters like pup/nfi/ir/ir to return etc

then it would be closer, coach mode from ncaa14 and stuff like form subs from lots of places ...

all has been done before, nearly all by EA themselves

I've had some major problems with the Madden crew for several years now and the OP nailed it.

I understand your frustration. I was a huge fan of the Head Coach series and would love to see them implement a fully controlled cpu vs. cpu experience. Apparently, gamers looking for something like this are not their target market.

Wait....I'm still playing 12....you are saying there is NO version since 12 where you can move the controller to the middle and just watch games? Dang, I know LOTS of people who that, that's pretty terrible.
