- NFL Head Coach 09 might just be the greatest NFL simulation ever released. It's a fantastic, niche game that few appreciated in its time.

Footage at 02:51 is from DLloydTV. Forgot to add that in the video
What's good how ya been? How are u mentally and/or physically
Davis Mills is the GOAT
any way you'd do a series of this game?
do a NHL 2k video
A guy named Max Marvelous plays faithfully. Could you give him a shout out. This is his page ruclips.net/user/MaxMarvelousProductions
I don't know him personally but we all got to look out for each other as human beings.
Really proud to have worked on this game...and it's awesome that it still holds up pretty well today compared to the new Franchise Modes in Madden. Josh Looman was an amazing designer on this product...and we had a pretty killer team overall working on it.
Really? Congrats, you guys did great, still own this game. Wish you guys were working on Madden, maybe it would have a soul in 2021 lol
it appears you guys were way ahead of your time....excellent job on the game.
Thank you. Love the game stilllll playing !!
We need you back. You guys did something amazing that was never appreciated on the scale it should have. Football games don't even try to incorporate an ounce of the depth you guys created. I haven't played a football game since 2018 and probably never will again because they absolutely stink these days.
Still play this game and love it. Please do an updated one
Somebody send this game to Matt Nagy. Can't call plays again until he wins a Super Bowl in it.
Might be harder to win a SB in the game than real life
Being a Bears fan is kind of like getting hit by a truck every day
NFL Head Coach 09 is like jumping from middle school to College. Everything is more complicated but it can be a lot more enjoyable
But middle school was literally the worst
@@1301407gl lol nerd middle school was awesome
You and I remember middle school and college very differently
middle school was lit
Once upon a time I went to middle school… and then I went to therapy
Madden 11 was pretty good too. Refs on the field, fighting for the fumble, create a team, virtual trainer, A FULL off season, meeting with Obama after the super bowl, Gus Johnson and Chris Collingsworth, relevant stats snap to throw etc, Coin toss, and many more. It was like EA knew people wanted alot of different things out of the game, so they included all of it they could.
Madden 11 is actually my favorite madden of all time
The presentation was amazing and the depth of the game was on par imo with games like madden 07 and 08
It's a shame that Madden 11 and 12 were the only good Madden games in the 2010s (although 25/14 was Decent).
At this point, I'd agree that Madden 11 is my favorite.
Madden 08 on ps2 is legendary
“Think of something like football manager, but with fully rendered on the field action”
Sooo… football manager? lol. Seriously though, this game looks like something I’d love, I wish there was some modern iteration of it.
Theres a revamp mod in the works called "Head Coach 21", idk if it has up-to-date rosters but its a revamp mod nonetheless
It was awesome. Before having kids, I'd spend hours playing this. I kind of wish they'd split Madden up; one half would be the Franchise/Head Coach games, the other the MUT/Yard/FotF stuff. I'd bring the old developers back for Franchis/HC, or (more likely) let some more competent developers make it.
Well football manager 21 doesnt have 2021 graphics. Head Coach 09 had Madden 09s graphics, that was the point
@@vimic9507 Head Coach 09 was made before the rookie wage scale. Do you know if the revamp has that updated?
Well no, Football Manager doesn’t have realistic on field action with up to date graphics, Head Coach 09 had those things. The graphics were pulled right out of that year’s Madden and the on field action was somewhat more realistic
This game was amazing. I wouldn’t say it’s for your casual football fan. A lot of work but very very rewarding. Since you can’t control the on the field action it makes it that much more fun (when you get the W) 😂
I played the first NFL Head Coach and it felt really hit and miss. Never played this version as due to personal reasons I was away for gaming for a while. But I'm blown away by how much they revamped from the original NFL Head Coach, the two games don't even resemble each other!
The NFL Head Coach series was ahead of its time, foreshadowing sports management games like Football Manager and Out Of The Park Baseball. I think a revival of the series could be quite successful, at least on PC.
FM was popular way before this, and as its previous incarnation as Championship Manager (I played 97/98 a lot back when). I'm sad the NFL equivalents never really took off, actually kinda surprised given the convo I see online around things like roster construction and salary cap management, but I guess it's a relative minority. Plus FM etc. carry so many different leagues/teams, it's much more of a pick your own adventure
They can’t monetize it with UT so don’t expect it to ever comeback and I’m scared for the college game they’re going inevitably ruin
@@NoonyJW I hope that the new college game in two years isn't just going to be a reskin of Madden, but I'm expecting it to be a reskin of Madden with a barebones dynasty and road to glory and crappy frostbite gameplay.
@@beans_al_fresco Huh. I didn't know that, I thought it was more recent. I don't follow soccer that closely, so that's probably why I thought it was a newer series.
8:15 This man took the $25 million cap hit just to release JaMarcus Russell 😆
From a depth standpoint, Head Coach ‘09 should be a reference point for EA when working on future Maddens
Head Coach needs to come back, I feel like the gaming world is ready for it now more than it was 12 years ago
I feel like I'd be as good at this game as Nathaniel Hackett.
The way this game does the draft is still the best of any sports game I've ever played..
Absolutely love this game and still play it. Wish they’d make a new one
I agree
It would be so much fun!
You would think all of these features would be added to madden by now
I feel like this games failure from a financial standpoint turned Madden away from Franchise mode & became all about micro transactions. Such a shame since this was such an amazing game
Should be called General Manager
Love this freaking game especially with the large amount of gamer score you get when you win 3 Super Bowls in a row 😂
i definitely would like nfl head coach 06 to get a reboot/remaster. a console football manager would be nice.
Dude, I think I speak for a lot of your subscribers when I say we would love a playthrough of this game from you.
why dont you just play it?
8:13 Jamarcus Russell is 285 pounds. I died laughing. His career completion percentage is still higher than Tim Tebow 🎮😆🏈
He was a great QB for us at LSU. Unreal arm strength. He could flick his wrist and throw 50-yard darts.
He got that huge signing bonus from the Raiders and stopped giving a shit, LOL. I don’t think he really loved football, he was just naturally gifted at it enough to earn a comfortable retirement.
@@michaelstein7510 Jamarcus' rookie year was 2007. That was the same year the Patriots were running up the score with 40 burgers in the regular season. Meanwhile, Jamarcus was just eating burgers 😆🏈🍔
TT has more playoff wins than JR
Now this is quality content
Hell yes, been waiting for this vid.
Thanks for making the video soft drink love this game, it is so much deeper then any madden since then, wish they would update it and add it to madden or a stand alone
I just watched your video on the first head coach yesterday and then you upload this. Perfect timing
been waiting for this video
THE LEGEND IS BACK BABY
You should make a series off of this game
I've heard there's some mods that update rosters and coaches and a mod that lets u play the games but these are just rumors from my friend
There are mods I mentioned it in the video. Go to the subreddit r/NFLHeadCoachSeries
Ight I'll see... Cuz I wanna see this with new players
@@SOFTDRINKTV thank you! I posted asking about this before looking through the comments. Updated rosters would add a lot, and be fun to revisit this game with!
New softdrinktv video lets goooo
I’m very passionate about the games I play and I love playing a well made game. Watch all of your videos makes me want to make a madden game worth your praise and respect
Honestly I really wish Madden 23 brings the aspects of NFL Head coach into franchise. Imagine being able to make your own plays and try it in an actual game you control. I don’t know why EA hasn’t capitalized on that yet
Let's go ur back... can't wait to see the new direction of the channel bro
I didn't ask Jamari
I loved the depth of this game. Weird thing where like 60% of my plays had less than 3 yards and 40% of them went for 80 yard touchdowns. Could've been way better if the sim stuff made more sense
Think about boxing; it's rare jabs to the head and body will get you a KO. Their job is to help set up the big right hook that will get it.
That's not abnormal, though, especially in that era of the game. Most plays set up other plays; think running an inside zone run, to an outside zone run from the same look. Neither play may average more than 3-5 yards a play, but when you run the play-action pass from that same look, if you sell it well it'll hit for a big gain.
@@justinblair9661 naw it was super disturbing. I was a Hawks fan. We weren't the modern chiefs we had no one who could do that. You'd expect if it were realistic that a season might have 200-300 first downs and 0-2 80 yard touchdowns. Not like 100 of each. Then the QB has like 50% completion but 20 yards per attempt. The defensive pursuit was off and not even in a Madden way they just took the wrong angles and wouldn't hit people.
Head Coach 09 was my joint!!!!
Super well done vid! Never knew about it but now I def wanna try it out!
Absolutely love this game! So much fun so much depth!
Thank you for making this video 🙏
Great video. Perfect timing. Appreciate you
This game would be perfect if they just updated it to fit the times, you're looking at a 13yr old game right here
Letsss ggoooo I was waiting for this video
I remember getting this game for Christmas instead of madden 09 and I was pissed lol
8:18
> Releases Jamarcus, will pay 25 million dollars in penalties
still worth it
ALL THESE FEATURES SHOULD BE IN THE FRANCISE MODE OF TODAY IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
I had this on the 20th Anniversary Edition when it first came out and enjoyed it for what it was. The on the field stuff is what drove me bananas. Sometimes players would just randomly go in another direction that made no sense. After the 15th time watching that happen I went back to Madden 09. Off the field is certainly where this game shines. If you can look past what happens on the field this game can be an incredible experience. Unfortunately for me I just couldn't lol
I still play this game every other Saturday episode drop
This is something special
Welcome back miss your video brother
You could cheese your way to a superbowl. But I still love the game to this day. Great video!
Coach Mode is the only thing that keeps madden fun...
How is it in madden 22 ?I’ve been thinking about trying it sim is fun but I want the play calling aspect
Dude favorite all time sports game period. I’ve wondered over the years how many people other than me played this and enjoyed it. Nobody talks about it
Soft Drink tv Underrated
*softdrink uploads* me: A blessing from the lord!
Thank you soft kink tv
The trailer music sounds like an old anti-bullying PSA video you watch in like 6th grade and that already sold me on the game
Yessssssssssss!!!
Honestly if they just took features from head coach and through them into franchise mode it'd stop us from bitching.
Got Damn You Right I Completely Stop Playing Madden Yrs Ago Because It Lacks Depth And Animation Were Bad Ive Seen This Game In GameStop Disc Replay I Should've At Leased Gave It A Chance I Still My Once I Find Me An OG Xbox Or 360
Im a newer generation madden fan (started playing madden 12 when i was about 10) and up until now i had never even heard of this game until i saw it when scrolling through offerup, super informative vid, great concept for a game , dont think it wud do well as a game on its own but wud love to see a smaller mode of this be introduced into the newer madden games today
Would love this in Madden NFL 23 for next year. But I doubt it. I always wanted a more GM/Coach experience.
i loved this game. it actually got me real into football and watching every game and keeping up with NFL news. before playing this game i rarely watched the NFL
The clip of him dropping Jamarcus Russell into free agency.
Thank you for this video! I have it on 360 and it's crazy how much I enjoy it over Madden 22. Head Coach 09 is litealy better than Madden 22 in every way and we can't control the players. It's telling. EA should be ashamed.
Why does this not have more views you clearly put effort in to this stuff and it’s entertaining so people must not be wanting to watch
I've got the original for ps2 and Xbox. Guess I'll have to pick it up.
I had so much fun with NFL Head Coach 09 the only issue I had with it was that at times the A.I. was absolutely frustrating
Glad your back SDTV, wanna voice act in a cartoon haha?
One of my favorite games, still have it too
A man can only dream for the old EA to return to their glory, sadly they won't, unless we make them 😈
At this point I don't think it could any more.
As someone who just played thru s couple years of franchise in Legend Bowl, Axis Football, and shamefully trying Madden 2024 franchise mode i am led here...Excited to play this tonight...15 years later. There is such a market for a solid nfl franchising gaaammmee
I remember my buddy getting this game, and my immediate thought was that you basically bought a standalone franchise mode game where you couldn't play any of the games, I feel like this is one of the greatest money heist and video game history. Madden takes the coaching franchise mode out of their game and remove your ability to play any of it, does a roster update and releases it as a new $50 game. What a scam
Yes more 7th gen sports games please I need suggestions
GREAT GAME
I wonder why American football only got 2 manager type games, while football got many franchises like LMA, FIFA Manager/Total Club Manager or Championship Manager. Even SEGA and Konami made their own management games. Sadly now only one continuous Football Manager.
Also just imagine this game but with the ability to hire your staff in the first offseason and customize your coaches outfit
"6 seconds ago" nice. The soonest I've ever seen a video be posted.
The days where they took chances
Cowher and Dungy. If there was a NFL Head Coach 22, who would the cover coach be?
Frostbite would work better with an NFL head coach game
I would love to see Tomlin on the cover or even McVay with how he’s ushered in a new era of offensive-minded, younger coaches in today’s league
I feel like it’d have to be Andy Reid
Bill Bellicheck. Idk who else should be on the cover that is the pure definition of an Xs and Os coach.
I miss this Series There needs to be another entry I had so much Fun playing this game and the first one but this one is my favorite
Man can you IMAGINE if they had something like this, with this depth in current Franchise modes?! 🤤
Love this game. Basically one of the only games I play on Xbox anymore
I know this sounds crazy but I recently started getting interested in this game (and other sports management games) and I was shocked at how in depth this was. Considering it's age it's actually really good
Just picked up this game, it's really good!!!!
I still play this game today
" NOT GRAPHICS" But this was the gold standard for simulation football...
im playing it now on ps4 i love it i wanna come out 06
I never knew this game existed and I played all of the Madden games leading up to this game’s release year.
you got me to order this on ebay. now I will be starting it and trying my hand at building a winner.
I dig that
another game you have made me want to play now. All i gotta do now is wait until this game is playable on my ps3 emulator lol
If you have that Manager itch for American Football look into the Front Office series and the Draft Day Sports series from Wolverine Studio
I love Head Coach 09 I play it everyday on my PS3. It runs like shit on Playstation but its incredibly fun and the immersion is great. I'm on my 4th season. I also love how every draft year certain fictional players actually have backstories with them and if you or the ai draft them Adam Schefter will tell you about their strengths and weaknesses and a little about their personality.
Have you found the workaround from the freezing and corrupt files issue?
Yes, you only scratched the surface of NFL Head Coach 09. But, it was a good scratch!
Guess what? There is a project going on to render updated fields, uniforms, and 2022 rosters to NFL Head Coach 06. The problem is that it will work only for the PC version of the game. You can currently find a thread about it on Operation Sports. Somebody is also working on this for HC09 as well. They are still not quite ready to go 100%.
NFL Head Coach 06 or 09 with updated rosters, improved graphics, updated stadium and uniforms, the Modern head coaches on their teams...not sure if they can get all the assistants in the game, but somebody is supposedly working on all that as well. It is a lot of work for a very small team of devs to do. They've come a long way though.
My knowledge is limited when it comes to American football but as someone who enjoyed football (soccer) management games alot this game looks interesting even if it's a good few years old
I got this game at goodwill cuz it was cheap and I've been enjoying it so far
2:05 Kiv completely debunks this in Head Coach 09 Part 1 by Secret base. Ya, they used Jon's play for Part 2 because it's Jon Bois OF COURSE they voted for his play, but Kiv made a play that had the Lions pass for 800+ yards and 7 tds.
The only madden i never played. I'm going to look for one because i play coach mode, and this seems like what i always wanted in franchise mode.
I think this game has something to do with the negligence of franchise mode in future madden games. The lack of sales was probably telling them that people didn't care about franchise mode and was more into MUT
Oh how I miss 2008...for a variety of reasons!!!
BTW...Dan Patrick on his show, looked to have a Sarasota Seaman hoodie on his show. Check it out 10/13/21. Go Seaman!
