Head Coach 09 Podcast on iTunes

The Head Coach producers did an interview the the EA fantasy football guys about head coach. It’s a little over a half-hour but is full of great information. Podcast on iTunes

Some tidbits I gleaned from the podcast:
• You can get through an NFL Season in a half-hour by simming.
• NFL draft uses the same
• Media is more important in larger markets like New York.
• “Violent Swings” in approval based on defining moments.
• Same value system as the real NFL.
• Tiburon guy couldn’t get the Dolphins to the playoffs.
• “I went 2-14…be prepared you will be fired in this game!”
• Strong teams should be strong…weak teams have a tough time winning.
• Theme for every practice like shut down Manning.
• Schefter talks about your gameplanning compared to the CPU gameplanning.
• Can’t rip off CPU on trades. No random trades. Impossible to trade for playing like Manning.
• Teams play like their NFL counterparts. New England have a lot of 4-5 wide sets. Colts spread runs to Addai. Saints do a lot of swing passes to Bush
• Detroit built to throw the ball not their run system. Teams need to be rebuilt and bring in personnel to run that offense.
• Bucs weigh zone coverage corners. Titans want a mobile QB. Pats want a field general QB.
• In some teams, owner and GM might advise to play a younger player if you are in a rebuilding year.
• Thinking man’s game!
• Market is for fantasy football guys.
• All 32 teams feel unique from playbook, philosophy, coaches, etc.
