I didn't even know Backbreaker existed until I heard about it somewhere on this forum, much less any details.

I certainly didn't know what the camera angle would be for 3 years...

Seems like they shoulda spent more time on the little nuances that give it a "real football" feel.. Hard to tell without playing it but While the tackling and blocking looks awesome, the played models look futuristic, too big, too generic, too cookie cutter..even with different uniforms, all the wr's, hb's, fb,s seem to look the same??

nice!,

The players Blackscorpion look futuristic because it is a futuristic league. I am not sure if you knew that or not.

MSG to BB

All BS aside,

If they want my money, they better stop hiding this game and come with some difinitive details about what it is, and what is is not capable of doing, what features it has online and off, and what regular gameplay looks like. Stop showing me people getting tackled and show me a playbook! show me a field goal! show me player creation screens, talk about game customization?

Talk to me like im your customer and you want me to buy this thing? or step off! NCAA 11 is right around the corner anyway.. I'm buying one football game this year and i've already decided it's not madden

I can see how someone like you who had hardly info on the game could be upset at only having one camera angle. They said there was only going to be one camera angle from get go so people can't exactly be upset about this and IMO I don't see how people can compare this to "well what IF madden did this people would be upset". This is obviously not madden and of course people would be mad if the devs making madden 11 did this because, it has had numerous titles with multiple camera angles.

I got a feeling if there is another BB game they will put in a god view like madden or 2k but, who knows. Maybe they stick to their guns but, I like that in this dev team. I think they'll get enough complaints to make more camera angles but, I think they would still try to keep it very low to the earth. I would love a god view though just to what BB would look like in that perspective. Just gotta do it in the replays I guess.

This is BB's first iteration. I'm not saying Its right for them to do this because, I to would like to have a choice but they're doing what they want. This isn't BB's 4th or 5th iteration, the devs are basically forcing people to play with the "down on the field experience" because, that is what they have been preaching since day one and they want people to experience that. That has been the devs word and they're obviously sticking to it even though Its a pretty bad idea IMO.

It would be funny if most people loved the down to earth camera angle and didnt complain about it next year.
