    If NCAA and Head Coach Mated: The Possibilities

    If you hang around hardcore sports gamers long enough, the topic of conversation inevitably seems to lead to some kind of "what if" scenario. I am sure many of you have thought about combining the franchise mode of one game with the stellar graphics and on-field game play of another plenty of times. And that near-perfect complete game is just what could happen if EA ever combined its NCAA Football series with its Head Coach franchise.

    If you think NFL coaches have complete control of their teams, then you need to see what the college game could offer to Head Coach fans. For starters, the recruiting alone could be a whole game to many. What is offered regularly in the NCAA series could be expanded tenfold.

      I would actually love the dynasty mode in NCAA to be this, and that's probably the only way such a rich set of features would ever be developed (for a college game). NCAA is ancillary to Madden, as was Head Coach. To do the Head Coach thing with NCAA would be even a greater remove from marketability.

      But you're right, NCAA offers a deeper well of potential regarding the head coach context than does Madden.

        This would be great, but NCAA needs tons of gameplay fixes first. Can you imagine this in an online dynasty though. Wow that would be sick.

          I love the idea of seeing deeped Franchise mode features in sports games. I feel the MLB series has the best mode going right now and EA has been slow to implement some of the features like pricing in Madden and disapline in NCAA that really helped to complete the experience for fans of Owner mode style games.

            Personally, I'd prefer it to be in a separate game. If I bother to fire up the console, I have enough time to play a game. I've found the recruiting tasks to be pretty tedious and unrewarding for the most part. I agree that the college game has more to offer in the off-the-field activities, but I like the idea that it's kept to a minimum currently so I can get back to playing football.

              I think these types of games should be incorporated with current game models. Head Coach was a good idea and should have been incorporated into madden from the get go. That is the same way I feel about this proposition.

                it would probably not be that great of a playbook editor... remember how hyped up head coachs was??????? anywas that is a great "dream game" but i doubt it.........

                until they make a scratch playbook editor..... with sort of a microsoft paint way to create the plays and implement motions.....

                then my guess is its not gonna be that great.......

                  How about we mate NCAA with some defense first?
                  Quit making your stupid YouTube videos and start playing the game.

                    This sounds very, very sexy. I already love the little bit of recruiting that I get in NCAA.

                        I would have to second those who would like to see this incorporated into dynasty mode. Now I would like all the regular control of the players in the game like standard dynasty, but include the head coach features into the coaching career menu like luring recruits, running practices, punishing players for missed classes ect. in program integrity, pulling Mack Browns and lobbying for bowls, stuff like that. Then have the option to import your coach to Madden to potentially coach an NFL team

                            I've got an even better one: Image if NCAA FOOTBALL 2010 on next gen had the same gameplay and features as last gen. Wow, now that would be a game!

                              Well, why not have a game like "Football Head Coach"? Why limit yourself to one level of play, one league in a coach/manager game? Just look at soccer games, for example: There's no separate "Premier League Manager", no "Serie A Coach" or "Bundesliga Coach". The name says it all: "Football Manager".

                              You can coach all over the world, work your way up from the minors or even coach a big club's reserves squad and hope to impress your boss so you may coach the first team one day. Wanna be world champion? Take over your national team and lead it to glory.

                              Same with Hockey. Look at "NHL Eastside Hockey Manager". It's not the NHL only.

                              One of the most fun things to do in manager games (at least for me) is to watch your former player's careers. After scoring more than 20 goals in a season, my low-league star striker left and went to german Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. He didn't even play reagularly on their 3rd league reserves team, but I checked him every week.

                              Imagine being a college or even high school coach and see the kids you coached going to the Pro Bowl - or the Arena League. Or nowhere at all.

                              They won't make a game like that. Why waste all trademarks in one game? By the way, that game wouldn't need any licence, people would love to create team and player names on their own (like they're doing in NCAA, despite the licence) and share it.

                              Head Coach had some good things, it just needs some life (interaction with media, player, coaches, more events, etc.) and some more things to win than the Super Bowl.
