Heck, maybe we could gather a few up who play coach mode in madden with that trick and run an online league. What do u think?

are they gonna have a coach mode in madden?i heard there was no coach mode.i'm a big coach mode guy,thats why im so excited about head coach.i liked the first one bugs and all,but im sure this one will drastically surpass it from everything ive seen and read.

Listen carefully when Adam Schefter or Todd McShay gives you an update on the draft. If they have reservations about a rookie (or talk about a devastating injury he suffers during their college updates) because of injuries, that could really factor in when he's drafted." Muñoz was also a pillar of dependability as he missed only three games due to injury in his career Anthony Muñoz was considered a "pick" risk because of multiple knee injuries and the fact that he played only one full game his senior year at the University of Southern California. Munoz was elected to 11 consecutive Pro Bowls and was named All-Pro 11 straight times from 1981 through 1991. He was also named the NFL Offensive Lineman of the Year in 1981, 1987, and 1988 and the NFL Players Association Lineman of the Year in 1981, 1985, 1988, and 1989. Hope you have some of the "Injury proned College Players" turn out to have very few injuries in the NFL. P.S. ALL that I read makes me think this is going to be a Great Game!!

Yes. There is a big difference between a player having an injury history (low health at his various body parts coming into the league) and a player having a low injury rating. If you have both, we consider you a liability. If you only have a bad injury history but still have a high injury rating, you'll be very healthy during your career. Another reason to dig DEEP in the draft and scouting process.

Hey Josh, during the draft I always here stuff like: "Played all four years alot of ware." and "Had 1 season starting so he has fresh legs." When talking about RBs.

Will things like this be included in the injury report? Like if the guy is a five year starter (Sr(rs)) will he have less health in his legs as opposed to a guy who only played in his junior season and was good enough to go pro(Rashard Mendenhall)

Amazing. This game just gets deeper and deeper. Ian and the Madden/NCAA guys should bow down to you.

I loved the first Head Coach and I'm sure this is going to be 10x better.

I think the progression was the issue with the last one. I actually made it through and had fun, but none of the rookies would progress. Bush was dominating and was like a 74 overall.

Thanks. This is absolutely amazing. It's like REAL NFL Football.

Now I have another question: When do people retire? I know, in the offseason but in Madden 08 it seemed like the same people would always retire EVERY year. Does this happen in Head Coach?
