this will be my first next gen sports game. I will get the bundle. I don't think all the madden haters will affect EA. They got a product set in stone that is indeed dwindling and aging, but scores of fans will still flock to the product. PS: I got madden 08 on ps2 and I hated it too.

What! No release for the PC? I have really enjoyed the original HC and was excited when I heard that they were releasing a new version. Then I find out that I have to buying Madden to get it. Okay, I hate arcade sport sims cuz I suck at them but It might have been worth the $50 premium to play a game I enjoy. Only on next gen consoles? That is the long bomb into not worth it territory. Maybe EA will release it for PC later. I can always hope.

YES!!!! finally i always say that people need custom playbooks!!!!! mainly cause i am somewhat run-heavy, and have started getting into passing the ball around, and the chargers dont have a 5 wr set.

EA does suck, but madden 08 was great. now you get a coaching game for 30 dollers. that is sweet. about the only thing that they can do to make madden better is halftime shows and on field interviews. thats not a very long list.

I don,t like ea, but there is no way i can say this is bad!! I mean if you don,t want head coach don't buy the bundle if you want them both then this is for you... And why be so hard on EA about there football because all-pro2k8 is not the best they both have there ups & downs...

EA does suck...I still can't believe they call it a "football Sim" when I can run up the gut and the tackling animation gets me 5-7 yards everytime...horrible. Lets just bomb it to devin hester everytime and complete a pass...horrible, or play online when everyone is either the patriots or the colts...horrible. I wont buy this game until there is open competition again.

PS...I returned madden 08 after a week from buying it because its a piece of garbage

Was anyone really thinking when they were commenting negatively? Pretty much everyone who will buy Head Coach will buy Madden as well so this actually comes as a discount considering they could sell them both separately. If you don't like Head Coach then don't get it...that simple. For those of us that do want it, it's a simple $30 add-on along with the other game it interacts with.

this is GREAT!!! i can import my playbook into a franchise mode that will never get past season 1.... W00000ooooooooOOOOOOooo.... you'd think after letting madden fans down in so many ways with madden08. they'd at least throw this crappy add on game for free.. EA is horrible, and as they take over all the other gaming companies, we all will get to enjoy a state of mediocraty in gaming standards.. way to go EA.. way to squeeze another couple of bucks out of your customers and fanbase

I think disguising a game as a collectors bundle is lame. Is this the only way head coach can sell? What is next? Ea Please quit.

Wait, so that means Wii owners don't get to own Head coach '09? And they said there was no benefit to having such an underpowered system.......

taj7575 -

lol... I like the 1984 reference, yeah I think even old die-hard Madden Fans like myself are getting really turned off by EA... I'm just going to keep playing Madden 05 on my PS2 until EA gets their act-together again (which may be never)...

i remember reading this book called 1984 by george orwell. in the book this imaginary character named "big brother" owned oceana. he lied to all the normal people and did lies to make them love him.

for example, he would cut the "chocolate ration" people of oceana used to get weekly. Then 2 weeks later, he would put the chocolate ration back to normal, BUT announced that he put more for the good of the people. the stupid people believed him.


this is what EA is doing to its coustomers, striping things out, then putting it back in next year trying to look great....u guys are fools EA.....

Has everyone noticed how features keep getting silenty stripped from Madden? Now you know why. They've been collecting them to try and fleece their customers for two purchases a year, that should have been included in a single game. Here's hoping Backbreaker turns out to be a good game, and not the rubbish APF 2k8 was.
