“Most significant sports game release in years”
Monday, August 11, 2008Thinking Madden 09. Wrong.
I’ve been reading Bill’s stuff for a very long time and he’s one of the most objective reviewers on the net. Bill is a sports gamer at heart and reviewer by trade and while his reviews might not be at IGN or Gamepot, they are must reads most of the time. Gameshark’s Bill Abner posted the following quote on his blog about Head Coach 09.
As for Head Coach, the game simply takes much longer to review so expect to see that later this week, maybe as late as Friday but if you read this blog you know how I feel. Head Coach 09 is one of the most significant sports game releases in a long, long time. It’s not perfect, it’s got some flaws, but it is incredibly deep and entertaining and I HOPE that EA Sports sees this game for what it is — a game that fills an important niche to its fan base. I hope is sells like mad and that EA looks to increase this series into other venues. NCAA Head Coach, NBA Live Head Coach, NHL Head Coach…I’d be down for all of that.
