    General Features
    • Play Editor -- If you love NFL Head Coach and the Madden NFL football franchises, you will love the ability to build your own playbook and export them to Madden NFL 09.

You can even create plays in-game to defend against unexpected plays from your opponent.

Utilize game planning and assistant coach’s input to make the decisions that will define not only the game, but your career.
    • Live Events -- With the help and input of real NFL head coaches, a brand new auction like “mini-game” was created that allows you to make key decisions like free agents, trades, and hiring new assistant coaches. All of these events could involve counter offers from other teams that require instant responses or risk of losing the opportunity.
    • Defining Moments -- All head coaches face defining moments throughout their coaching careers. At critical moments in the game, you will be presented with a choice that will impact your future as a head coach. If it’s 4th and goal with one second on the clock, you’ll need to make a decision. Do I kick the tying field goal or do I go for the win? The choice you make and the ultimate result has a big impact on your approval rating which affects everything from game difficulty to job security.
