Didn't think of that. It makes sense.

I take back my complaint.

Ok, in the last page where the headline says Excited? Is that a typo what I'm reading underneath it. Please tell me I'm reading that wrong.

It says Internet/Your Opponents could be full of *******

Some missed clues maybe....

1) Under the word "Excited" it says a positive is that you can create , "ehem, real gridiron teams".....this hints at the fact that the logo creator will be capable enough for users to produce real NFL logos

2) Under the negative it says your opponents (endzones?, it was cut off) could be full of penises....this hints at the fact that we actually will be able to see uniforms

3) another thing that hints at the fact we will be able to see customized uniforms is under "Get your kits out. This is our jersey. When you see us out there, prepare to lose."

Sounds like this guy just has no clue to be honest.

wtf what is wrong with this guy .... full of penises .... well i guess he is trying to say that the people online will be a ton d-bags? what ever as long as i can use my bears on that game then i will be all good ... quick thing does anyone know what type of equipment will there be to choose from because i am one of those people that really cares about the equipment that players wear.

Did this dude review the game for his elementary school newspaper?

I half expected him to write about boogers and doody....

Rob - Senior Producer confirmed this...

Wow this has really spiralled out of control again! Let me clarify... though I'm not going into complete details since a lot of this will be covered in the upcoming previews.

1) You can take your custom team online
2) Your friends will see your full team design including logos and endzones
3) Strangers online will see a default logo and endzone replace your created logos but your team will otherwise remain the same statistically. And YOU will still see your logo creations and endzones.

Bottom line... the title of this thread is incorrect. You 100% can take custom teams online and play anyone you want.

Further information about custom teams will be revealed in due course.

This is gonna be a great ride...

Oh man, if the gameplay is great, we have something here. I can't wait to hear more.

I'm really becoming excited for this game. I don't like the constant "this will hit EA where it hurts" mentality. For people who want something different, or something that is recreating how we play videogame football, Backbreaker has great potential. Hoping the game puts EA in its place will just lead to more frustration.

All EA has to do is flex its NFL muscle in the casual gamer's face and it's a lock for them.
