So, one of the new feature’s of NFL Head Coach in the ability to create a play and export it into Madden 09. If you have the Collector’s Edition, you can try this now. Otherwise you’ll have to wait until the Stand-A-Lone release of Head Coach.
This process isn’t super intuitive, but is not difficult. I’ve included a short video below showing this process in action.
There are a couple of things that you will want to be aware of:
1) I couldn’t find an option to create a Corner route, just Post Corner. Will have to look further at that.
2) When you import the play into Madden, you can find it in your playbook under a formation called “Head Coach”
3) You have to put the player in motion yourself, it is not an automotion situation. However, I think where you drew up the motion defines where he actually goes in Madden, but I haven’t tested this to be sure.
4) I was unable to Hot Route my motion player, but I could Hot Route other receivers.
