NFL Head Coach 09 Hands On Preview: GameSpot

[coogrfan]

GameSpot has posted their hands on preview of NFL Head Coach 09.

Quote:

"As the demo began, the producer guiding us through the game jumped directly into the Coach Now mode, which will give you instant action on the field. As with the day-to-day coaching duties that surround the off-season activities, everything you do in an actual game is centered around the clipboard interface."

Head Coach will allow expanded rosters in the preseason (up to 75 players) but you'll have to cut down to the standard 45 players once the season begins.

I need clarification!

We can carry a roster of 75 players for pre-season, but have to cut down to 45 for the regular season.

No!

We should have to cut down to 53 for the season. Then on Gameday make decisons on which 45 players off the 53 man roster we will dress out for the game.

This is pretty big in my opinion of the accuracy of this game!

Do we also get to carry a practice squad of 7 players?

When we place a player on I.R. does it open up a roster spot? In Madden it does not and there is really no point to place a player on I.R. because of this oversight!

Judging from the screenshots some of the coaches do not look spot on like the preview stated IMO.
