the G sides

There is no other company when it comes to sports games – EA is all you need to know. But these two titles are completely different from each other.

NFL Head Coach is a role playing game. You make every decision that a head coach/general manager would in the NFL. What clothes to wear, what plays to run in practice, what kinds of practices to run, what assistant coaches to hire and fire – every one. How to talk to players, what in-game strageties to use – in other words…

If it’s in the game, it’s in the game.

If you loved the offseason side of Madden – the trades, salary cap, resigning and all that jazz – this is that on steriods and crack. You can simulate some of the tasks and to get started takes some time. The layout isn’t all that friendly at first – something they’ll probably improve if they make another version – but once you learn it, it’s pretty awesome.

I got this game this year instead of Madden or NCAA 2007. Mainly because I’ve got last year’s versions of those games.

However, if you love gameplay instead – head over to NCAA Football ’07. I’ve got 2006 and absolutely think it’s….hold your tongue…better than Madden. I know, I know, impossible….but I think it is.

There you go Justin. Hope that helps.
