what are your plans for Backbreaker when it's released?

Exactly. Get the Freaking Word Out.

Read reviews, if good hope EA buys the company that made it so they can rip it off for the next Madden, if bad do nothing because I won't really care, and finally, go back to playing Skate.

I'm an NFL whore. Or Arena League, I liked those games back in the day.

If someone made a good NFL league in Backbreaker would you pay more attention.

Please god, do not let this happen.

If BB is a success, I am sure EA will try to get the engine. I say let them, but let BB exist as well. So you can have BB 2 vs Madden 12 or 13

Why would EA buy the engine when they might have to either hire more people to convert Madden (wont happen, laying folks off) or halt current development to convert it (using the current staff) and therefore lose money buy not releasing current Madden...while spending money to buy the engine.

There's not way this makes sense when their making money off current Madden.

Did EA say they'd buy them out? I mean, people are just thinkin that EA just 'wants to buy out the competition', remember it was the NFL that wanted to sell the license, 2K of course couldnt afford it, so EA, who's been around for years, grabbed that ish up.


I'm all for support of competition...and i'm 99% sure that EA wont buy them out. They--like other companies right now--want to make money, dont make sense otherwise.

Don't forget about how MMA was a "dirt" sport to EA and now they are coming out with a game after the success of THQ's UFC game. Or how about the fact that have the ESPN license as well? You could never tell by their games that they own it...
