NFL Head Coach

"Its laborious pacing and artificial-intelligence issues not withstanding, NFL Head Coach is a worthwhile first attempt at a football-management simulation."

"NFL Head Coach does a lot of things right, and EA should be commended for its creativity and trying to cater to hardcore simulation fans. Then again, Head Coach does a lot of things wrong. Coordinators will recommend you to take a knee in the closing moments of a half even if you are losing and on your opponent's side of the field. Thankfully you don't have to call that play, but to cater to the hardcore fan you have to get all the little things right. As it stands, NFL Head Coach will appeal to die-hard fantasy football fanatics and Madden franchise mode junkies, and to little else. Still, that's all EA ever wanted."

"For twenty bucks it’s probably worth your time to at least rent Head Coach, and rest assured that if you do enjoy it, there’s plenty more gameplay than what one rental period could hold."
