Backbreaker SHE HAS RISEN

A lot has to be done in the animations department before this game will be considered in any way "sim"

First of all this game does not compete with EA at all. So it has "natural motion" ...so what. It does not have the NFL franchise. Therefore it does not compete.

The natural motion stuff will be eye candy for a few games, but I seriously forsee it losing its appeal fast, and then turning into just another arcadish game.

I don't even see a "sim", nor do I see them trying to make a "sim".

They aren't trying to make a sim guys... They've said it twice (I think, maybe it was once).

They said it fall somewhere inbetween arcade and sim. Although the new site may contradict what I'm saying.

I simply refuse to even try to evaluate this game (or consider buying it) until such time as I can actually hold a copy of it in my hand that says "XBox 360" at the top (or PS3). Say what you want about Black College Football Xperience, but at least they know how to RELEASE a damn game. Every year we go through this crap...all kinds of hype around E3-time and a few stills or videos leak out, and then months and months of NOTHING.

This game's supposed to be out in 4 months? Really? We don't know anything more about the gameplay than we do in either late 2007/early 2008, when all of this started.

man, as much as I hate EA for ruining video game football, i gotta say that I seriously doubt backbreaker is ever gonna come out..

we just have to hope that maybe 2k buys the engine, and make a real football game with it.

Hey, the iPhone game is out. That has to instill some confidence.

We know a little more. Some people were allowed to play an early build at E3 last year, including Pasta Padre.

The difference is they now have a publishing agreement with 505 games. So I'm pretty much expecting it to release in April or no later than june if it gets pushed back a little.
