Loved the demo, bought game (QVC $29 ) -

VERY happy and excited (FINALLY) about
a Video Football game.

A pleasant change from the "ordinary".

wow, I've played alot of football video games in my time and after playing the Backbreaker demo, this may be the WORST

Remember back in the mid 90s when a bunch of football titles like Madden, Gameday, and Quarterback Club were jockeying for the top spot? Well, there was also a game called NFL Full Contact, which was utter crap. I think Backbreaker may have beat out Full Contact for creme of the crap.

Passing: awful, slow, and confusing. Too many INTS
Running: too hard to run in parallel motions, no sprint, jukes, etc
Tackling: How?
Atmosphere: boring
Graphics: unrealistic


Well, at least the punting was easy to figure out.

It's hard enough to sell a game without authentic NFL or college teams. Nevertheless, even without those teams, Backbreaker is still an awful, awful game. All I've been reading for months on these forums is how Backbreaker is going to outsell Madden and NCAA. Are you friggin kidding me?! This is bad, this is Superman 64 bad, NBA Live 07' bad, or god forbid ET video game bad!

LOL!

Some of that is true though......I rented this game for like 4 days because I didn't want to spend money on the full price being so uncertain about the product.

Well to be honest there's no way in hell I"m buying this game. I love football and the ability to create teams and players were enticing but the game play is just flat out BAD IMO.

I hated the player models and for some reason I just can't get used to them or the dark visors on every single player.

The tackling was wonderful but this game simply isn't ready IMO to warrant a purchase this year.
