Breaking Down Backbreaker

[noshun]

I will def check this game out. Good to try something different from Madden and to check out the tech behind this game.

What are the legal implications if they allow you to edit every team? Someone explain this to me while I fire up Pro Evolution Soccer and play the EPL with wholly edited and created teams.

^^^ Yeah. There are no implications. It's just concern and a misunderstanding that people have of how licensing works.

The more time you spend scouting a player though, the closer to 100% accurate it gets (so in amature scouting you'd be revealing numbers and getting more accurate with those numbers, whereas for ppl already in the league all the numbers are already revealed, and you're just trying to get more accurate numbers on them by getting better scouts)

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.

Good points.

Should have thought of that - I've played BB Mogul as well as OOTP and both work that way with scouting!

A misunderstanding based mainly on 2k's paranoid *****footing around with APF.

[TheWatcher]

^^^ Good point.

For anyone still worried, please refer to Maximum Football on PC. It's been around for years and let's you customize at a virtually unlimited level. There has never been one lawsuit attempted against the product.
