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.
EA bought the college, espn, arena football as well as the nfl license. They eliminated the competition in every use of the word. If Backbreaker becomes too successful, I could see EA buying it, not to use it but to keep it out of games so they don't lose sales, just like the ESPN license. If APF could of used ESPN in that game, it would have helped it alot.

The bidding was open to everyone. Can't blame EA. Blame the NFL etc...

I'll rent it to see if it's worth buying. If it launches at a price under $60 though, I may just buy it outright, just to add to the sales numbers for an alternative, if nothing else.

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

If All-Pro Football dropped to $30 after just a few months I would suspect that this game wont sit at $60 for long.

My expectations for Backbreaker are fairly high. I want ultimate customization from the rules to the stadiums. I dout I'll get that, so when this game is released I'll most likely just watch and read the reviews and make judgement from there which will probably to wait till it goes to the bargain bin

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

it's been listed for $50.00 but that could always change. i'd like to actually recreate the teams from the movie 'any given sunday'. miami sharks, minnesota americans, chicago rhinos, dallas aztecs etc...should be a new football experience and after 20+ years of madden i'm so ready for something new

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

I'll be buying it immediately. Really looking forward to a new take on the sport. The genre has lacked innovation / competition since the exclusive NFL licensing deal. We only got ProTak since BackBreaker was announced. Doubtful there would have been changes in Madden if not for BackBreaker (i.e. competition).

I'm probably going to just wait and rent it.
