Determined to win back the hearts and minds of the faithful Texans fans in our virtual Houston, we wouldn't be making that same mistake twice. Today, we were pleased to find that the game is running much quicker than before, whether through simulating through the various menial tasks of your created coach's daily schedule, or simply filtering through the massive amounts of information available at your fingertips in the game.Įntering the draft demo we were pleased to find out that the club we were taking control of was the Houston Texans, a team which, in the eyes of many NFL fans, blew it at this year's NFL Draft by drafting defensive lineman Mario Williams over former USC running back Reggie Bush. Although we had some time to check it out in our original preview, slow loading times and multiple bugs (a normal aspect of a game that early in development) kept us from getting to far into things. Still, we gave it the old college try, diving directly into the NFL Draft demo. Honestly, 10 or 15 minutes with a game like Head Coach simply isn't enough time to get a feel for the depth that is the backbone of such a title, even in a demo version designed to give the player a taste of the major features. Playable on the show floor at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, we got a few minutes to spend with an updated version of the game, to see how far its come since our last look.
LOS ANGELES-Our original look at NFL Head Coach back in March unveiled a game belonging to an entirely new genre for the EA Sports' NFL game juggernaut: the 3D sports-management sim.
