EA Sports NFL Head Coach

Bought this on Tuesday, and I am addicted. It's like Madden franchise mode, only on steroids. There are some quirks, but it is fascinating. Anybody else have this yet?

Read the reviews, not at all impressed. A couple of guys whom I trust on video game opinions gave it a thumbs down as just another money making ploy by EA. I probably will never touch this game in my life. Expand the franchise mode on Madden and be done. I really can't think of anything more boring than a football game you can't play. What's the point? Gamespot also gave it a 7.2, and they rarely steer me wrong as well, although I count on guys I know opinion's a little more.

If Gamespot gave it a 7.2 then the game can't be that bad because Gamespot loves to give low ratings. 7.2 from Gamespot tells me that the game has a little potential.

Really? 7.2 is crappy. I think gamespot's ratings are generally right on. Like I said, they haven't steered me wrong yet.

I dunno whodi. I usually read from IGN and Gamespot....I just feel that those guys can be harsh on most games. They tend to nitpick at things that the average customer does not care about.

I must not be the average customer then, cause I have found gamespot to be very reliable if I am on the fence about a game. If it's below an 8, I won't even touch it unless I really wanna play it, or unless I had been waiting for it to come out, and bought it before reading a review.

But of course. Love it. Was one of the first people round these parts to have one. If you are gonna ask me to play Madden online, don't until after the first roster download, when I will buy another one month subscription to Xbox Live Gold.
