NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Available, Impressions Here

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Available, Impressions Here

Since it was only one game, it could be a placebo effect, but I feel like they made a lot of "stealth" tunes to this game. All for the better in my opinion.

I didn't see one running back run backwards out of a hole, receivers dropped a few wide open catches, defenders attacked the ball better in the air.

My QB had a completion rate of 47% in the game, in more than 20 games played before this one it was never less than 65%. I only had 168 yards in total offense.

The score was 20-17, but it was a defensive struggle, only one of the touchdowns scored was the result of a long drive.

We'll see how things are after I play some more games.

I srtaed a new franchise last night in the preseason and I am pretty sure that RFAs are still not working properly.
I gave level 2 tenders to 3 players, none were resigned, and I received no compensatory picks. I also didnt see any clipboard notifications about them at all. I did see notifications for other teams RFAs, just not mine.

Am I missing something, or is this still broken?

I sure would like to see the playbooks overhauled. Add create a formation or the ability to add them to the formation you edited.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Available, Impressions Here

did the patch fix the problem where most players don't get credited with a start even tho they clearly started the game, this happen while in-game and using super sim but not the regular sim. other than the passing game this the reason I only sim the games, it's minor but most of my players while cry about playing time and the incentive to start all 16 games will be pointless

wait wait wait wait wait...are you telling me there is an announcer OTHER than the PA Play by Play????

I'm seriously doubting this and in shock if there is. I've played 2 years and have never heard any announcer besides the PA (he announces what happens each play and when there is a timeout etc.) and turned the crowd to 0 to hear him.

Is there honestly ANOTHER announcer in the game like a broadcaster play by play??? I'm seriously doubting this.

I'm on the same page with you on this one SloeyEZ. I've played a few years now and NEVER heard any type of play by play announcer.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Available, Impressions Here

damnit, i want play by play so i don't have to wait for text after the play to see who was involved in the play. Even a pa announcer everygame would be nice.

Try going into Play Creator and coming back out before your next game. The plan was that injuries would always turn back on after exiting Play Creator. I didn't implement this fix, but I *hope* that's how it was implemented.

If that doesn't work, I'll be frustrated.

Thanks for the suggestion, but nope that didnt work, still no injuries and 100% health all through the game. I guess we both can be frustrated.

Does this mean the Play Creator bug isn't fixed? I havent touched it yet since starting my new career, and I'm afraid to without knowing from someone that they used it and new injuries occurred and injured players became healthy again.

it means that if you had the injury bug problem before, then after downloading the patch you need to go back into the play creator 1 time to turn injuries back on. After that it should work correctly

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Available, Impressions Here

You can totally dismantle scrubby teams now. I just played a Falcon team with no offensive players rated in the 80's, plus they ran some super simplistic offense with 90% of their plays coming from a 3 receiver 2 back set. They probably only called about 8 different plays during the game.

I beat them 39-0(first shutout ever) had 9 sacks, 2 picks, 2 fumble recoveries, and they only had 110 yards of total offense. Pre-Patch I would never have been able to shut down an opponents passing game well enough to lock a team down like that.

Assante Samuel plays like shut down corner now. My freak of nature, rookie Mike-I won't spoil things by saying who it is- is wreaking total havoc in the middle of the field.

Player ratings really, really seem to matter now. For me this game is a solid 9 now.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Available, Impressions Here

anybody noticing more interceptions post-patch than what it was before? My QB's combined for 16 interceptions in the preseason. Maybe it's just bad luck but sheesh.

edit: hrm, well preseason was horrible but I only threw one pick in my first regular season game.
