As of Thursday Rob hasn't posted on the forums in 2 weeks, and on Friday it will be 3 weeks since he's posted in the 'PS3 situation' thread.
He is the PR and Marketing manager, that is the guy you should be getting updates from, and you've gotten nothing, it's amazing. Heck, they CLOSED the sticky about it, without saying why (presumably so upset people would stop venting in it).

Havent looked to see if it was true, but apparently they've released a press release saying it's out on PSN - http://www.gamasutra.com/view/pressr..._AVAILABLE.php
Er...isn't the BB demo 60 frames per second on the 360? Because it doesn't look like it is on the PS3...
It just seems slower than the videos of the 360 that I've seen.

I've only played 2 games on the demo thus far, but the game is just plain fun.

But yeah, I saw 360 videos and wondered why mine ran so much more slowly. PS3 owners got shafted, despite what the person said in the interview.

Just got the PS3 demo and I am impressed. I actually did pretty well passing the ball and I love the running game. Defense also is a blast to play, as the camera angle really adds a new layer of depth.
I'm still on the fence about picking this up at full price, so perhaps I'll wait to see if it goes on sale. I know I will buy it at some point though.

The biggest problem with the passing game IMO is it doesn't scale well. Bad QBs are worse than bad, and degrade to the point where they wouldn't start on a high school team. In every football game ever created a poor QB usually just means you have to settle for the wide open safe throws, and in BB a poor QB means the ball lands as far as 15 yards from your intended target.
I had no problems passing and was having 200+ yard games in the relatively short demo, but then started a Road to Backbreaker game and it guts your team so that you have to work your way up and didn't have 200 yards passing in my first 3 games combined. I went several games calling exclusively running plays, bought a good QB, and now I am passing for 300 yards/game.
Bad QBs should have limited amount of focus per play/drive, or a more claustrophobic camera to simulate a lack of awareness, not simply be bad beyond the point of wondering how they'd ever become a QB even in a fictional league.

Ok, I'll give my thoughts.
It's unplayable for me. My first game the CPU threw an INT on every possession, got sacked 2 times a drive and missed wide open WRs. Every time I get a handoff or a pitch, my runner goes backward or sideways when I am pushing up on the stick, I feel I have no control of him. The tackles are cool in the replay but you can't see them live because of the camera angle, I couldn't see anything live really.
I'm glad some of you have the other option you desire but for me, it's not even football.
On a positive note, I like the kicking having some built in inaccuracy with the arrow swaying like it does. I would be fine if it actually swayed more.

This game make you focus the entire game. Every decision counts. Every big play counts. Every mistake....Counts. Stay conservative early and then....BOOM make a play.
After finally playing the demo on PS3, I can say that I'm surprised this game got as much hype as it did. I can't see this game making it more than 2 years. There's no reason for a person to play this game, especially with the other titles on the market. I'll give it a 6 out of 10.

FINALLY got a chance to play this game since it just got put on the Playstation Store.
Overall Impression: Game is bada**. From the hits, to the passing and running game. I love it. Once i figured out that i used the l-stick a little too much when passing(which lead to unwanted lead passes which always went overthrown), I had a hell of a time playing this game. It just feels right.

Maybe I am just too used to Madden...but the view and controls didn't feel right to me, even when I got the controls down, the camera view was disorienting as hell.

Just getting to Back Breaker: After reading the initial reviews about lack of stamina for players, I thought the game would be a waste of time. Obviously, the Euphoria engine is fantastic: It's fun, different, and pretty intuitive.
Still, with what I've read so far about this game and production company, I'd like to see 2K purchase the Euphoria engine and update 2K Football again. If 2K would listen to their audience next time around, and produce an updated yet customizable version of NFL 2K, they might find surprising success despite the lack of player license.
