Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

Please make sliders more effective if at all possible. I believe this game screams for more user tuning. It would take tons of pressure off of of you guys (devs) if we were able to better craft what realism means to each of us. Thanks for all the other fixes too btw.

according to the initial post in this thread, the sliders will not be adjusted. One can only hope they forgot to put that in the post, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that issue to be resolved..... they seem to be avoiding THAT particular issue like the plague...

Bug report for defining moment:

4th and 3 on the opponent's 4 and my defining moment is to go for it. I go for it, pick up 3 yards and the first down but not the touchdown and it registers as having failed the defining moment. (I scored 2 plays later.)

Of course, the defining moments in the game are already pretty bonkered because of the silly defining moments (being asked to go for the TD and not the FG when up by 7 with 2 minutes left in the game, or asked to kick onsides when down by 7 with 8 min left in the game -- basically stuff the media and owner would roast the coach for that defining moment wants to have them clap you on the back for doing it.)

I think the inclusion of sliders was one of the worst things that happened to sports games... ever.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

100% on the "in game experience" - Sounds would certainly help. As is you just seem somewhat abstracted from the game experience - sounds, announcers (at least PA), and other elements would make much more immersive..!

there actually is a PA guy. The weirdest thing, I've never heard the PA guy playing at home or away, and then magically on monday night vs the colts my stadium had a PA guy.

I think theres a bug that makes him not show up to work everyday. But it made it so much eaiser to tell what was going on the field instead of waiting for the ticker to scroll who made the catch

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

The PA guy is there for every game, his sound is just turned way down. The only way to hear him is to turn the sound of almost everything else down.

But I don't think you can turn down the volume of some of the music that pops up and plays, so there's only so much you can do to bring him out.

It's a pretty weak solution. Hopefully, they'll boost the PA sound and the game sounds so the game will actually feel like a game.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

try these volume settings, it's what i have to hear the PA guy, get decent game sound ***AND*** hear the nfl network.. if you turn down the announcer you miss the good stuff in the game, specifically the nfl network

Master 100
Announcer 45
Stadium PA 100
Crowd 40
On the field 50

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

Also, a minor bug

I can't seem to change my DT's numbers into the 90-99 range

It sounds silly but since I can't hear the PA guy I changed everyones numbers so that I automatically know where on the depth chart that person is when I see them make a play on screen.

I can change DTs numbers in the 70-79 range no problems and that works, it just feels goofy.

I sorta feel dumb for even bothering to post this but it strikes me as an easy fix so I'll go ahead and throw it out there.

edit, also, if i recall correctly you can only change centers numbers in the 50-59 range, no 60s are allowed : o

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

I wished they'd find tune the running game. (well actually tune it so it's close to being realistic with the NFL)

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

Copied the following from a FG-specific thread:

Staymates found the kicker problem yesterday and we sat down and tested his fix last night.

It looks like the problem is solved.

That's good to hear as it is easily my biggest gripe with the game. I continually miss makeable kicks with Stover (it seems I make more if I remember to Supersim) and I missed an XP against Pitt which figured prominently in the outcome of the game. Stover hasn't missed an XP IRL since 1996!

Has this bug been elaborated on? I had seen mention of updated rosters, but would this be possible to import mid-career? Or is the bug something else?

Also, I *do* seem to get better results if I sim the kicks. Are the engines different or is this my imagination?

Thanks for your continuing support of the football games this year...

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

I can't change anything in the offseason rosters or for upcoming rookies in the roster update.

I can change potential for any player that is in the preseason rosters.

I've even dropped a couple who have been more disappointing than expected so far.

Is a certain QB from a certain western (WAYYYY western) school that you guys seemed to have a very low opinion on but is tearing up the preseason to receive a ratings boost?

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

Josh, are you going to fix the "CPU is beating me" bug also known as the "Losing a game while trying to win" glitch? And please fix the pass and rush numbers so that we have the same for every player in every game.

Have you seen a GOOD back with a GOOD OLine in front of him WITH GOOD playbook and the plays KNOWN...also with the above using the adjustment(?) you practiced in the week before the game? that BOOSTS you HBs? ASTOUNDING running numbers! I think if you keep after it, keep learning the plays build an OLine and get a good back the 2000+ yds a season isn't out of the question.

What I am saying is, default sliders and the running game will be there...it just isn't there in pre-season or even EARLY season one...keep working at it.

I traded up one spot to #10 and got DMac with the Bills(even assigned #32 to him...I KNOW!!!). Added one OLineman I think in FA and he is ripping off 100+ yd games early in the season(didn't do much in preseason)...if this keeps up he will get close to the 2000yd mark this season...
