Become Coach with EA’s NFL Head Coach

New "3D strategy sports game" from Electronic Arts, set to debut next year, will allow gamers to coach their favorite NFL team to victory in a whole new way.

Electronic Arts today announced what they are calling the gaming industry’s first “3D strategy sports game”. This game, with the current working title of NFL Head Coach, is set to be available next spring and is a result of an exclusive deal with the NFL and its coaches.

NFL Head Coach, according to EA, “challenges gamers to build and manage every aspect of a football team from the ground up.” A conversation system and 3D graphical interface allow users to become a NFL head coach. Gameplay elements will include developing a team strategy, building a winning team franchise and wearing the coaching headset on game days.

NFL Head Coach will be available for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, Xbox videogame system from Microsoft and PC-CD.

“NFL Head Coach, the third pillar in our NFL portfolio, was developed to satiate all those Monday morning quarterbacks and fantasy football fanatics,” said Dale Jackson, Executive Producer, EA Tiburon. “NFL Head Coach is an entirely new football experience that every level of football gamer can play. It provides the strategy that the hardcore fan will demand, but with very easy-to-use controls and assistance for more casual fans. Football will no longer be intimidating for the casual user.”
