Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

[spankdatazz22]

Good to hear the game is getting a patch. I was leaning towards trading it in but will wait until I hear about the patch improvements/the patch releases. From a technology standpoint the game is pretty impressive, with player interaction and programmed actions on a level way beyond anything we've seen in a football game to date. Particularly with the added caveats of this being a first year/non-licensed/non-patched game without the benefit of years of user feedback. Hoping the devs can make the cpu offenses a lot more formidable at the very least, and perhaps patch in a camera angle/improved camera angle for those that want the option to change the view

i can't say i'm a fan of backbreaker. but i'm glad the folks who enjoy it are getting a second wind for this game.

and i think they are doing it the right by not puffing their chests out and over promising.

I must admit that this is a very good first attempt at a football game. After taking time to practice, and learn how to play this game, I am officially on their bandwagon. This game is very intriguing, and actually plays a solid game of football. This actually feels like a "next gen" game. I agree with others that stated that this games physics engine, is the future for sports gaming.

This is the most fun that I have had with a football game since APF2k8. A patch addressing some of the games noted issues, could make this game a serious contender for football gaming supremacy in the future (a few years). I hope that they are able to implement a successful patch, and build upon that for BB2. Very good news for football fans.

Great news! Keep making it better and better!

I know he said it won't be rushed but I just can't see how they can fix some of the major problems in a month or two when the game took 3 years to make. If they can that would be great.

While I understand the skepticism, they had to create a game literally from nothing. If any sports game were to try that today, they would not be able to do it in the yearly release window most games abide by.

Depending on how they setup the game and code, it is quite possible they can have a drastic change via the patch. Maybe not things like camera angles but AI aggression and so forth are quite addressable, typically.

Camera angles can certainly be patched (Madden Broadcast Cam) and I am going to predict that they will include a more over th shoulder type can so that we can see the rush better when passing. If they do that then I will give that a bit more playing time.

No, they can't. Madden's angle was already in the game, just invisible to you.

If the BB team didn't plan and already include it, it would be too big to fit the patch requirements set forth by MS and Sony.

I know this for a fact.
