Backbreaker Video: Running Game Tutorial

[jeetaa6]

Let's relax about number 74 already. In the end, yes, it did look like his foot got tangled up or stepped on.
But damn guys, if you're going to nitpick this first Backbreaker release from this Company as though they've been in the business as long as EA / Madden, you're in for some guaranteed disappointment.

I completely agree. At the same time this looks like the best football game ever at this point. Yes it will be a little shallow, but it is a deeper game than APF. I turned injuries off in season mode anyway b/c the backups were horrid at QB and WR in APF2k8.

Let's go! Realistic football. Woo!

Interesting to see that Madden is dropping the Right Trigger, just as BackBreaker is adding it. I think BackBreaker's separation of Agility + Power is better than Madden's Speed increase approach. Definitely looking forward to the game.

You're making an interesting point, and I could be wrong on this, but the defender that 82 blocks is on the same yard line as the ball carrier. Question 1: How far do you think that defender is away from the ball carrier? Did the defender have a legitimate chance at getting to the ball carrier justifying the block, rather then the escort?
I don't think that defender was more than 5 yards from the ball carrier. At the time of the block by #74 , #82 was within a body length of the ball carrier. After #74 disposes of one defender #82 turns around, takes maybe two steps and then blocks the defender. He might have been 15 feet away.

This game looks great JayBee. All the videos I have seen, something just looks off by the movement of the QB, I just can't put my finger on it. This might end up being a day 1 purchase, but I will wait and see what everyone here says impressions wise.

LOL dude your screen name is awesome. That quote still cracks me up every time I play APF.

I think I may pass on Madden this year. After seeing how great this game looks in motion, and how nice the controls look, I honestly don't think I'll want to go back to the old way Madden plays. Of course I'll know more come June 1st, I'm definitely taking the day off to spend it with Backbreaker.
