Electronic Arts has announced a third game in its NFL lineup, NFL Head Coach (working title). While EA"s Madden series offers traditional sim football and NFL Street gives gamers the over-the-top arcade feed, NFL Head Coach will allow gamers to don the headset and take control of every facet of an NFL head coach"s job, from drawing up plays to leading their team on Sunday.
While most sports strategy games offer a flat, static interface, NFL Head Coach will offer full 3D graphics. The game will also be available for consoles while most games in the genre are PC exclusives. Developer EA Tiburon is making it a point to provide the game with enough depth for hardcore purists, while maintaining flexibility for newcomers.
NFL Head Coach is scheduled for release on PC, PS2, and Xbox next spring.
