BTW Afrikan you say that the models are great for the first NM game, but I don't think NM will change them in future releases. BB is set in the future and people are just going to have to deal with it because I doubt it will ever change.

You don't know whether I'm wrong or right. Backbreaker has been in development for three years; we don't how their plans have changed or evovled. They may change their plans for the futuristic setting, or they may have simply decided to allow more flexibility with the customization as far as the futuristic setting goes.

When I said more traditional, I just meant editing the jerseys to look like jerseys of today. As far as the equipment goes, the jerseys and the visors(on every single player) is the only thing that's different.

It's kind of unneccessary for every player to have a visor.

But we don't know that because in the future they could be needed

As long as the gameplay is solid I will enjoy this game. Not having real teams and players will be refreshing as I won't have to worry about inaccurate rosters and stats. Heck I wish we had a generic version off all major sports. As much I really liked APF, the part I hated the most were the legends. They were fun for the first few games and then I was wishing for all generic players.

Why, is the sun going to be brighter ?

One of the reasons I despised APF 2K8 (otherwise I love it for the most part) was there was no personality outside of the legend players. There almost wasn't even a reason to use them, as there would never really be a "diamond in the rough" so to speak... although my TE was pretty bad-*** for some reason.

Hopefully, Backbreaker introduces this concept of "generic" players being given somewhat of a background, or a reason to get to know them. This is one big component to Blitz: The League and is a reason why I like it so much. Arcade or sim, both this game and NFL games represent a system where it's good to learn your team inside and out. I hope that Backbreaker follows up with this and not everything is equal.

Also, I understand that a lot of people are all about rosters and colors, but much the same I'm about stadiums as well. We can make these teams have as close to their likeness as possible, but when it comes down to playing in a dome as the home team 49ers, I just can't have that happen. Not to say I wouldn't buy this game because of that, but even still this wouldn't be as authentically riveting as I'd hope for. I really hope this game delivers on nearly every aspect including customization, but for now I'm also really hoping on going long-term in franchise for the reason that the players matter just as much as the physics.
