    I still love this game

    I just played for the first time in over a year and it is still better than Madden. Wow, I can't believe they don't integrate this stuff with Madden. The franchise mode is a billion times better and they should have everything they need to incorporate it hmmmm Josh Looman????

    Seriously, it makes me almost sick to my stomach how great football games should be if not for the stupid exclusive license. Think what NFL 2K11 would be like? At least EA put out an NFL game that touched NFL25k in Headcoach but sadly they didn't give us a full effort and Josh and Donnie a second shot.

    Head Coach rocks and

      The main problem is the licensing. EA RIGHTLY goes after a mass audience to which Head Coach may as well be ancient greek, but given this, other companies that make sims need a chance to make the games that us 1% of fans like. NFL head coach 09 remains one of the only games I play, but how long this can last without roster updates is debatable. At the very least they should have allowed the fans to make players and share rosters given that they had no intention of releasing another HC.

          Agree compleatly it would be even better if could make them on the computer like NCAAs team builder only for players and u could even get it onto your game via USB or download it. I also had a great idea that EA would hire two people to maintain head coach. One would do the code and technical modifying and one would tell him what to make and be the creative brains (I would be up to that) anyway, that way they could copy madden roster updates, or modify their own if they want. They could also make more draft classes, fix bugs so on. The brains guy could even be on this forum talking to us about what changes we want them to make. I know this isn't gona happen but wouldn't that be cool.

                  I would pay $60 for a year of updates, and a program to customize Head Coach, Draft Classes, records, ect. It's a great idea to incorporate a computer program ala NFL 2k5.

                  I will not pay $60 for Madden 11 nor NCAA 11.

                  Playing last night was bitter sweet, I was reminded how much I love HC, but how extremely ticked off I am at EA for the crap they feed us every year.

                  The potential is so huge but EA doesn't care for gamers with brains.

                      Yes, and Head Coach is the main reason I won't be buying Madden this year. I've heard that there won't be much in the way of improvements to Madden franchise mode, which I just can't tolerate anymore seeing as how Head Coach showed they do know ways it can be improved. So they can't very well blame it on lack of ideas on how to make it better. This means they can't say it is because they don't know how, but rather they have no desire to. And if that is the case, then I don't desire to give them $60 every year.

                          Exactly.

                          There is no excuse. It's all there, just put the 2 together OR release a new Head Coach!!!

                              In Madden's defense it did take 2 years to create Head Coach. Unfortunatly for us they put Josh on Ultimate Team instead of all of Franchise mode. Josh has earned the benefit of the doubt with what he did for Head Coach 09.

                                  If anyone knows FlyingFinn it would be awesome if he could write a roster editor for HC09 like he did for NFL2k5 and just a couple weeks ago Backbreaker. I would be happy to throw $20-50 or so into his PayPal account if time/money is an issue. Just imagine having a tool at our disposal that could not only move players around teams but also edit all attributes, potentials, personalities and contracts.

                                          I would too, if it's a full on editor like 2K5's I'd happily give $50

                                              Actually, the only reason I bought last years Madden was because I heard some of the Head Coach guys were working on it. Considering how well they did on HC09, I assumed they'd be working on making franchise mode suck less. Really, other than some of the glitches that got fixed with a patch, the only problems were in the on field game play side. Like the difficulties getting a good run game going consistently, how terrible defenses could be when the offense is in a hurry up, etc. So, with that, and how great they were answering questions and helping people understand the game more on these boards, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and bought Madden 2010... Needless to say, it was big let down. So now, no matter how much respect the HC09 guys, EA won't be getting me back as a Madden customer until they put out a product worth me buying.
