    A chance to go out and have a taste of what it's really like in the world of NFL coaches today. It's a job, and a game that only a chosen few will really be able to embrace and get the most out of it.

    When Head Coach hits, it slams it out of the ballpark. Excellent structure and balance in the practice periods before game day ensure that you take your time and prepare extensively, while tasks at the front office put you in control of every aspect of the franchise.
  3. Detroit Free Press

    EA Sports is best known for its other monster football game, "Madden NFL." But where "Madden" lets you control real-life players and plays on the field, "Head Coach" takes you behind the action, putting you in the Gatorade-scented shoes of a coach you create from scratch.
  4. Gamer 2.0

    There are a lot of great ideas in NFL Head Coach, but quite a few of them aren't executed to perfection.
  5. Kombo

    An average start to a series with potential.
  6. DailyGame

    An interesting experiment for EA and the NFL. Now let's forget it ever happened and kill the idea altogether.
  7. The A.V. Club
    33
    The load times between each task are inexcusable, but worse yet are the games themselves, which you barely have to orchestrate.
