I'm still undecided about preordering this one. I'll probably do it, but I'm running out of time. :)

I'll try not to disappoint :) |
Wow, I really can't say that same. Despite past disappointments, I'm still looking forward to the next NCAA the most, especially since it'll run on the PSP.
|
I'm looking forward to NCAA too (and have pre-ordered that also.) I'm just going to try to hold out against getting Madden, particularly if this game is good.

Same here. But I'm hoping its because I'm so in love with Head Coach that I won't have time to play the others, rather than so fed up with EA that I never want to look at another of their titles again :D |

I trust your opinion. Did you say you're getting the pc version? |
Quote:
Yeah, I'm getting the PC version. |

Excellent!! I would love for this game to be great. (crosses fingers) |

I will get to my Rams Super Bowl!! ..and well, you know once college football starts... :p |
IGN has the next 5 coaches of all time (#20-16) up on their website. #19 is a big surprise to me. One because I didn't think they would include active coaches. Secondly, because I wouldn't put him in the top 20.

Madden should be higher than 16. He's a top 10 easily IMHO. |
Quote:
Shouldn't be in the Top 15. He only won 1 Super Bowl, and wasn't coach long enough really to make an impact. Jimmy Johnson was a better coach than Madden. |
Quote:
Highest winning percentage in history and he went out whilst still at the top, who knows what could've happened if he stayed on. The only reason he didn't win more than one ring were the absolutely incredible Steeler teams that they kept meeting in the AFC Championship game. Any other era and his Raiders make at least three Super Bowls. |
I think it was asked but I haven't found the answer. Did we now the req of the game to PC?
|
I haven't seen the reqs, but I imagine that if you can run Madden 2006, you'll have no probs running this.

Dola -
Another Update by Jrob is up on IGN: http://sports.ign.com/articles/710/710969p1.html Pros: - Sounds cool that the Colts' offense looked like their real life counterpart. - I like the sound of the training camp and having limited opportunities to run plays. - It sounds like the AI might adjust somewhat realistically to your play calls. Cons: - Might be an early build, but the draft sounds odd. Ernie Sims shouldn't be available in the 2nd round unless there is a significant "X-Factor." - I don't like that the AI automatically puts late round draft picks into FA if your roster is too full. Of course, that can be avoided with some forethought. - No overtime in preseason games?!? Starters play the whole game in pre-season? Madden had those issues correct, and it seems a big step back to not have them correct in this game. Oh well, I'm still (perhaps foolishly) very excited to start playing this game in under 3 weeks. |

[quote] This is the kind of stupid design decisions that really piss me off in a game. My guess it was fairly difficult to code the logic of expanded rosters, so they just left it out. I guess it can be avoided with some forethought, but I'm not sure how exactly unless you cut the exact postions that you plan to draft. Otherwise you'll have to cut others after the draft and sign some free agents as fill-ins. That could cause some salary cap issues as well. Grrr. |

3 CD's? Sweet! I can't wait for the 20th. :) |
Why can't we get games on one single DVD. Jeez, almost every computer has a DVD rom these days. They keep giving us the equivalent of 8 tracks for goodness sakes. I may just directDrive it if it's possible, instead of having to deal with managing CD's.
|
Quote:
I just installed my first PC DVD drive today. Hadn't really had a need before. *Shurg* |
I agree with SteveW -- a DVD version should at least be an option.
|
3 CDs for a management game? Wow. I definitely agree with the DVD sentiments. They should just put any game larger than 2 CDs onto DVD by default and make less of the CD versions than the DVD. If you want to buy DVD versions of games now, you have to pay around an extra $10. It's almost worth it sometimes (Call of Duty 2. 6 CDs? Yeah, right.), but $10 more is a little steep when the game is already $50.
|
I don't have a DVD drive... :(
|
Quote:
At least you don't need one for this game ;) |
getting closer to release date...
The game probably won't be distributed in France so I'll have to find a way to buy it online on a site where they allow the internation video game shipping (which happens less and less nowadays...) |
Quote:
It's, like, about a month that I check the site every day, searching for the Head Coach pre-order, but they still don't have it. I really hope it will be available soon. As for other sites, I know EB Games and Gamestop offer international service, but they want 25 $ only for shipping, and I don't know how much will it takes for the games to arrive. Also, check out DVDBoxOffice, Canadian site. I know it's very reliable, but I've never tried it. |
Quote:
Thx a LOT for these infos !! |

Life is tough for Euro guys when it comes to football games...;) We gotta help each other out! Well, at least FM is still released here first...:D Or not??? |
gametrailers.com has a new vid up. This time they are showing some gameplay.
|
NTSC only?
Don't know if this has already been answered, but does anyone know if Head Coach will be getting a PAL release or if it'll be NTSC only?

Well, I broke down and pre-ordered this one from Gamestop yesterday.
|
What are the chances of a Best Buy having this title day of release? There is one across the street from one of my jobs. Smaller store but I would think it would be available.
|
dola:
BB has it on their site. Also says that it will be available for in store pickup. I'm going this route I guess. |
Gamestop is slated to have it 6/21.
|
Quote:
Since when do games get released on Wednesdays? Thought it was mostly a Thursday thing. |
so, it appears that BB is getting the xbox version in july. also, the PS2 version has a release of 6/23. They advertise the pc version as 1 disc but from what you guys are saying, that is incorrect?

|
Tuesday Shipping, Wednesday in stores I would imagine.
|
My local gamestop has said it will ship Tuesday and that I should have it by Weds. morning.
|
shit. that sucks. the bosses go to their golf league on tuesdays.
|
Quote:
games, music - pretty much all ship on Tuesday's. No idea why, but it is pretty standard. |
Quote:
I doubt whether it will get a PAL release, but if you have a PC then it shouldn't make a difference, because it's only consoles that are affected. I hope I'm not wrong on that ... |
Quote:
Ok, those new trailers has gotten me all excited, but I would still like to see some videos of the war room and screens of what you do on the off days. Either way, I can't wait to see what others are going to say about this. As much as I want to preorder it, I still have a small ounce of pessimism that is preventing me from doing so. |
I would be willing to bet the impressions thread for this game is going to be huge. There just seems to be alot in this football game.
