NFL Head Coach 09: Madden Collector's Edition Pack-In Only? EA Explains...

Are you kidding me?

Personally, I think EA wasted a ton of money paying for the development of Head Coach 09. The sales weren't going to be big as a standalone and I guarantee they won't be big as part of a 90 dollar package.

How many average Madden gamers will pick this up?

EA's justification for this makes no sense. If I was part of the Head Coach team, I'd be ticked off to no end.

This is only the beginning of EA's sadistic marketing schemes. Next you might have to pay for playbook downloads on Live and the PS Store or be forced to play with generic playbooks.

So, the create-a-playbook and create-a-play features were removed from Madden, put in Head Coach, which will now be packaged again with Madden?

Just put it all in Madden. Give it a coach mode. Discs hold more than they used to, you know. Madden is inexcusable for all of the features they have downsized, and now they want to package this with Madden or sell it separately. Simply no.

I'll wait to see if it's sold used somewhere.

Yeah, what he said.

I'll buy it on Ebay seperately. However I'm not buying this ridiculous package. It's really insulting.

And if it's too much on ebay? Well....that's why there's the OSFL.

Without a doubt! I definitely agree that the $90 price tag is very insulting? There's no chance of me forking over that kind of money especially for what EA football has become. I'll do the usual and rent it again. Hopefully, there's no game killers (ie. the turnovers and db ai last year). I rented the game last year and after playing a good amount of games I noticed that the turnovers and db play were just wacky. Why people insist on buying games on release day and then complain about being disappointed is beyond me? Guess what folks it's on you. Fool me once shame on you...well you know the rest.

Unless both titles get raves from people I trust, this is a no sale for me. I'm getting tired of throwing money at mediocre EA football games every year and Madden will NOT be a first-day purchase for me this year.

I'm not buying this package. I'll wait to get NFLHC separately.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09: Madden Collector's Edition Pack-In Only? EA Explains...

It's insulting how they say it's a bargain to get HC w/madden. Like they couldn't release that bargain as a stand alone at a reduced price?

How compatable is NFLHC with Madden. If its possible to use the franchise features in NFLHC in conjunction with Madden then dont count me in the list of malcontents. I am a franchise freak and If I could have the featurs of NFLHC and then the actual ingame mechanics of madden I would be in heaven...

Re: NFL Head Coach 09: Madden Collector's Edition Pack-In Only? EA Explains...

I think a couple months or so after they release this "package" they'll probably try to release Head Coach separately for $40...........

I was just thinking the EXACT same thing.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09: Madden Collector's Edition Pack-In Only? EA Explains...

As bad as the original Head Coach was, I thought it would take a monumental effort to make it worth playing if they ever made a sequel. IMHO this kind of answers if the new one was worth packaging for $60 or not...chances are, Head Coach just might not be that good of a game, again.
