NFL Head Coach 09: Madden Collector's Edition Pack-In Only? EA Explains...

[deebo2246]

This is only the beginning of EA's sadistic marketing schemes. Next you might have to pay for playbook downloads on Live and the PS Store or be forced to play with generic playbooks.

So, the create-a-playbook and create-a-play features were removed from Madden, put in Head Coach, which will now be packaged again with Madden?

Just put it all in Madden. Give it a coach mode. Discs hold more than they used to, you know. Madden is inexcusable for all of the features they have downsized, and now they want to package this with Madden or sell it separately. Simply no.

Yeah, what he said.

I'll buy it on Ebay seperately. However I'm not buying this ridiculous package. It's really insulting.

And if it's too much on ebay? Well....that's why there's the OSFL.

Without a doubt! I definitely agree that the $90 price tag is very insulting? There's no chance of me forking over that kind of money especially for what EA football has become. I'll do the usual and rent it again. Hopefully, there's no game killers (ie. the turnovers and db ai last year). I rented the game last year and after playing a good amount of games I noticed that the turnovers and db play were just wacky. Why people insist on buying games on release day and then complain about being disappointed is beyond me? Guess what folks it's on you. Fool me once shame on you...well you know the rest.

Unless both titles get raves from people I trust, this is a no sale for me. I'm getting tired of throwing money at mediocre EA football games every year and Madden will NOT be a first-day purchase for me this year.

I'm not buying this package. I'll wait to get NFLHC separately.

It's insulting how they say it's a bargain to get HC w/madden. Like they couldn't release that bargain as a stand alone at a reduced price?
