One thing I have found that has really continued the interest in Head Coach 09 has been my recent jump into ONLY playing as the GM and not coaching a single game. I suggest some people who like the "building" part and want to experience a 10+ season career as it's easy to do.

By not "coaching" the games and instead simulating them... I've found that the abilities of the players make much the difference compared to when you can just about perfect the game through playcalling and player styles.

Simulating allows for upsets, forces your coaching staff to be legitimate, for you to be legitimate and forces you to put the right talent on the field. Combine that with getting an entire season in during one sitting of the game it's easy to get all 15 years in if you're interested enough.

Now... You have to set your own rules as well all know it's too easy to draft stars, sleepers and get solid talent and so I advise people to control themselves when getting 7 picks in the first round haha.

All in all... it's fun and a good change from constantly playing games.
