They wait outside GameStop for the now-requisite midnight launch, rush home after purchasing, and spend the night setting up their franchise, going through drafts, off-season moves, and assembling the coaching staff. They're as detailed as the game allows them to be (and that's pretty damn detailed), but even some of these guys might shy away from something like NFL Head Coach 09. It's only for the die-hard hardcore; the armchair quarterbacks who know they could call better plays than that idiot coach the owner hired to handle his favorite team. They say to themselves, "put me in charge, and I'll fix things pronto." Well, here's your chance. You can oversee most every last aspect of the off-field proceedings, and when you're finally ready, you'll call the games from the sideline. The only problem is, there are several glaring flaws and really…it's not for everyone."
