I'll probably drop the $$ for it one more time, pending some additional info and feedback.

I love the GM aspect of HC. It did have its flaws, but hopefully a lot of the major ones will be fixed with HC2. I will buy it.

I loved coaching games. I hated how long the offseason was dragged out just to get to games. They tweak how the stages are done to have me playing more games, I'd be all over it a second time.

I never bought HC but I felt it did somethings better than any other GM'ing game. I am willing to sacrifice some complete number realism as long as the gestalt feels real. I don't think last year's HC was particularly fun, hence my non-purchase but would love from them to try and refine the model.

*IF* they fix the many issues with the game, it could be great.

Just what I want - another NFL simulation that uses 5 minute quarters.

Yeah, there certainly is potential, but I have very little optimism that will happen. |

You know this is sorta like the water powered car.
Great theory! Load of Potential. But no substance. |

You know I'm going to try to not even get excited about a 2nd head coach. I was OK with all the coaching office stuff and game prep. Lots of people hated that but I actually liked it. But the gameplay was horrendous. All the INTs, horrible play variety (or lack of), 5 min quarters?!?
I felt betrayed after spending many hours in the draft, off season, practice and then finally reaching the games found out "this is how the games play out, yuck." Nope EA fooled me once, not going to preorder this one. I'll wait until well after release and once if the majority of reviews and gamers give it a thumbs up then MAYBE I'll have a look. EDIT: Actually EA has lost my trust so much this not only applies to HC2 but to any and all future EA releases. I'm almost ready to write them off for good as a developer I patronize.

I was so excited for the release of Head Coach that I actually called it the "holy grail". Everything I heard about it after the release was so bad that I never even tried it. It was then i decided that EA will never get past the lowest common denominator. The only EA game I've enjoyed since then was Total Club Manager 2004, and that was probably because I don't know much about what real soccer is supposed to be like. Actually I think Jim could learn a few things from TCM (now called Fifa Manager), like pre-contract negotiations regarding the player's role on the team, and seeing things you build, even if it's not the match itself, like your stadium, and your team photo.

Never bought the first one either because of the bad reviews. If the second one gets good reviews, I'll pick it up though. I'm glad they've decided to continue the series just on the outside chance they release something half way decent.
