NFL Head Coach Download Free Full Game is a National Football League video game that was released on June 20, 2006 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC. The game allows the player to control an NFL team and become the greatest coach in NFL history. It features then-Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher on the cover.
Gameplay
The concept behind the game puts the player in the position of a head coach for a National Football League franchise, similar to FIFA Manager where the player takes control of the head coach of a soccer team. The player will make roster moves, create playbooks, and hire and fire assistant coaches. Success is measured by wins, playoff success, how well the player does in the NFL Draft and the careers of assistant coaches. The game also has ESPN integration, such as Mel Kiper, Jr. hosting the NFL Draft, Trey Wingo for the game's first few cutscenes and one cutscene featuring the now-deceased Steve Sabol.
Plot
The game begins the week after Super Bowl XL when the Pittsburgh Steelers pull off a 21–10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. The coach that the player is about to take control of was formerly the offensive/defensive coordinator for the Steelers and is now ready to move up to take the reins of an entire team. First, the player selects a team and then proceeds to the job interview. The coach overall will range from 50 to around 80 at the end of the interview. NFL Head Coach Free Download.
Depending on how well the interview goes, the player will receive up to five offers from five teams though there are eight teams that are likely to send the player an offer. The player selects a team and then signs a contract with them. In addition to being the head coach, the player is also the general manager of the team. On the first day, the player will meet the team owner. Aside from meeting the team owner, the player also meets the other coaches with whom he will work. Daily activities, depending on the time of the season, include hiring and firing coaches, calling players' agents, checking e-mail, identifying players to scout at the NFL Scouting Combine, gameplanning for the next game, and running practice. During the game, the player can motivate and discuss strategy with the team, which can affect the motivated player's reception.
Reception
The game received positive reviews. IGN gave the game a 7.2/10, praising the NFL Films score, though commenting about the Madden engine being «not as pretty as other football games». On the contrary, GameSpot praised the engine, though criticizing the multiplayer; GameSpot also graded the game as 7.2/10. CNET scored the game 3.5/5 stars, also praising the NFL Films score, though commenting that the on-field action is blander than usual due to the lack of in-game announcers, along with some occasions when players are negatively motivated after positive motivation.

NFL Challenge is a football simulation game. The game can be played by two players, one player against the computer, or the computer can play against itself (it is also possible to switch between human and computer players at any point in the game). Whether controlled by human or computer, each player selects one of 28 NFL teams and acts as the coach and needs to make various decisions to ensure the team can win games. In addition to calling plays during a game, as the coach the player needs to decide which team members will play in a game, call time outs, and deal with injuries and substitutions. The 28 teams included are based on the most recent stats at the time the game was released; all of the team and player stats are stored in plain text files allowing the player to edit them for new stats over time or create imaginary teams. On systems with color graphics the game will show an animated version of each play from an overhead view with X's and O's representing the players. Included with the game are extensive guides on offense, defense, and an NFL playbook.
One of the oldest football games ever made, XOR's NFL Challenge remain to this day one of the most ambitious simulations of its kind, containing over 30,000 lines of C and Assembly source codes after over 10 man-years in the making. The result is a very thorough and realistic simulation of football that was impressive enough to win endorsement from the NFL.
The game comprises of 2 modules: macro and micro. The macro model computes and records various statistical averages to model the entire NFL season, while the micro model calculates the outcome of a single match. The game boasts of having several NFL experts help create in-game offensive and defensive playbooks, and it shows: there are dozens of plays you can choose from, and penalties and injuries are handled realistically. Graphics is not much to speak off-- it's either all text (you see a red triangle, representing a ball, moving back on forth on the screen), or some graphics where X's and O's represent players. Still, for a game that focuses on the simulation aspect of a sport as opposed to the action, it's more than enough. There are many coaching options available, many of which became standard in later football games: in addition to calling plays, you can call a time out, and even use a neat 'two-minute' mode, which is modelled after the 'hurry up' offense often seen in real football games. In this mode, all ball carriers on that team will make an extra effort to get out of bounds and stop the clock. The quarterback will make more and longer passes, resulting in longer completions but much higher risk of interception. The computer AI is quite good, as it will take advantage of this 'two-minute' mode, as well as constantly change playbooks. Each player is rated in different skill categories, which affect the outcome of the game. You can play against a friend, the computer, or even watch the computer play itself.
Overall, NFL Challenge is a great simulation that definitely sets a high standard for other games to follow. It's the granddaddy of games such as Tom Landry Strategy Football, and the level of thoroughness, fun, and realistic outcome is excellent even by today's standard.

When I play this on real hardware, the team menu is corrupt.. Anyone have a fix?
Raven2018-09-201 point Mac version
Loved this game to death. Played great on my Mac Plus in 1982 or 83. Then it went away as I upgraded to bigger Macs. If I was sure it wouldn't screw things up on my iMac I'd try this download. Best football game EVER! Just Xs and Os. Not dorking little characters.
GRUNT2018-02-042 points DOS version
To get it to work in Dosbox, you'll need to copy the contents of one of the subdirectories (84, 89, or 'greats') into the main NFL challenge directory (wherever you have NFL.EXE).
Shoxlynx2017-12-241 point DOS version
Hi, I have DOSbox and Nfl challenge downloaded and I added the file to my DOSbox but I'm not sure how to get it running. Any help would be appreciated.
oldarmy942017-02-14-1 point DOS version
Bought this game at ComputerLand on 5.25 floppies and played the heck out of it. I loved it!
TheSchwami2017-01-082 points DOS version
You have no idea how good a sim this was. Bought the original for $100, best money I ever spent on a 'game'. The rapid sim mode allowed you to play 100 games in a matter of minutes. Just one example, the 1988 Scab Bowl, Skins vs Buncos, it predicted Skins would blow out Denver with a 94% probability. I laid down heavy. Denver jumped out 10-0, didn't sweat at all. So confident, I doubled down with my bookie and got more points, (Den was -7 to start the game) the 2nd quarter was history. Called him at half and gave -7 points, doubled down again. The bookies hated me. The 'Game' paid for itself thousands of times over. Not even Madden has been able to come close. If that Madden file conversion earlier in this string works, I hope I can contact my new best friend GJ059 to thank him. Enjoy.
Biff2016-12-301 point Mac version
Hey, great to find this game again after so many years! Would someone please post how to get this game running on my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.10.5)? I don't know what to do with the files that come in the zip file. Thanks!
Sean2016-11-094 points
Awesome game. a 'coach mode' type of game, but more realistic than any other game to this day. Makes you wonder 'what if' if this game could have transcended over the years like Madden. Oh, what if?..
cubfan222016-09-122 points Mac version
Is the Mac version of this working at all? I see that everyone seems to be using the DOS version. I had this game back in the 80s and can still access it on my old IBM PC Jr, but I want to try it on my Mac laptop. It downloads, but nothing seems to open.
YearZeroNIN2016-02-190 point DOS version
GJ059:
Thanks for that download. Has recent NFL 32-team rosters, so you can simulate games based on this current decade. Do these rosters already include the Madden modifications? It sure seems like it, which is great.
Doesn't look like anyone added a season/playoff feature, so I'll just simulate it by sequencing games according to an NFL full-year schedule. Then create my own standings system and use whatever stats the game saves to try to create a rankings system. For some reason, I really want to do this.
YearZeroNIN2016-02-161 point DOS version
Trying to figure out the the 'season.nfl' or 'season.com' part. It appears you can only get computer vs. computer simulation of a user-defined season?
I was hoping you could play a full NFL season/playoffs, but it appears this game doesn't have that feature. You know, when you could select an NFL team to play all its season/playoff games according to a typical NFL weekly schedule while the computer simulates all other games.
That's the only downfall. It's the only thing missing. Imagine playing a season and tracking team standings/rankings and individual stat rankings and all that stuff. But I guess at the time it was kind of unheard of and didn't really come into full effect until the 90s. It would seem this would be the same for all pro sports games.
If this game could be extended to include full season play and playoffs play (not just individual games), it would be perfect. I wonder if anyone already has done this? Will have to 'google' to see.
YearZeroNIN2016-02-160 point DOS version
Lately, I had been thinking about this particular game, for some reason. I remember being in 1st or 2nd or 3rd grade when playing this game? I recall the simulation aspect as being very unique and very cool. I recall a 'screen pass' that could catch the opposition by surprise and you'd score a long-reception TD? We probably threw it away since the 80s, I think, but it's beyond genius excellence that, nowadays, with broadband internet, you can find some of these real old-school classics. I noticed '4th and Inches' which rings a bell; I think I may have played that one also when I was a little kid.
da HOOK2015-10-260 point DOS version
Left keypad uses F1 through F10 (you may notice YZ Streak is 10 for Left Keypad, 0 for Right Keypad). On some laptops, that is actually easier.

thank you for your assist to play this game

I'm having some success using DOSBox, but haven't quite worked out settings that will keep it from kicking out when the program goes to the play animation.
Gooddog2014-10-260 point DOS version
I had this game when I was using my first computers, a Mac Plus. It's the bestl football game ever. Just Xs and Os but it's the strategy and movement of this little Xs and Os. Let's you imagination do the graphics.

Copy the team files to the main directory and it works fine. You can only have one set of team files loaded at a team since they are identically named.

Having same issue, but I get no responses after coin toss, system just crashes, any ideas? This sim looks great! I was 15 in 85, can't believe I never heard of this..(I was a Avalon Hill 'Paydirt: guy off my c64, and a Microleague2 guy on it! Thanks!
admin2011-03-210 point DOS version
Ferno, you need to add a disk drive in Boxer, launch the game then add a drive (A: for example) in the game configuration (button on the left bottom corner). Then add the 84, 89 or Great folder to use an existing team.
Same thing to do with DFend or other DosBox front ends. Tamil new mp3 song download.
