Backbreaker Preview (GamerPros)

GamerPros has posted their hands-on preview of Backbreaker.

Quote:
"The game plays as one would hope. As the wide receivers takes off from the line of scrimmage and starts to run his route, the defensive back covering him will backpedal with him. When the receiver breaks, the defender will break with him. He’ll then keep one eye on the ball, and the other on his man.

Speaking of passing, tossing the pigskin is mapped to right stick. You scan the field with the right stick, and when you find an open receiver, you flick up to pass. You can also pre-select receivers in focus mode."
Platform: PS3 / Xbox 360

Re: GamerPros Article

Looks like they did stick with the same control scheme. I like the depth of the scheme a lot. I just hope It translates well into the game. Hopefully they'll have a few different schemes, If not I trust they'll likely have It working well.

"The level of customization will keep players engrossed."

Thank you Donald.

“you can create your high school team, your college team, or even your pro team. You can make the team you always wanted to make.”

To bad you can't take these teams online against anyone that isn't in your friends list but, I got enough friends to play with.

Finally, some more info.

Interesting control scheme. That will be an adjustment for sure.

The camera view and Road to Backbreaker sound pretty unique as well.

Re: GamerPros Article

I added one paragraph to the story this morning.

"One play in particular stood out. The quarterback dropped back to pass, and found himself in trouble. Scrambling right, he evaded a tackle and started scrambling right. He then pulled off a spin, and switched to aggressive mode, picking up 5-10 yards on the play. What was remarkable about it was how natural the whole play looked from start to finish, from the quarterback escaping pressure to the defensive players pursuing and attempting to tackle him."

Re: GamerPros Article

"The player rating system seems to be different from other games. Said Donald, “Our attribute system is not as in your face. We’re not presenting a massive grid of players. There are gold, silver, and bronze players. The attribute system works hand in hand with euphoria, takes it away from becoming a dice rolling system.”

It sounds like this game has ratings like APF2k8 but it says the system is different from other games. Interesting that they don't feel its a dice roll system, now I'm wondering how this works and how/if players will progress.
