Was not impressed with BB as a FB fix.

(don't get me wrong, I'd pay $60..but I know others wouldn't so just trying to be realistic.)

I liked that BB tried something different. They weren't far off, imo. I liked the passing mechanic and they had a great camera angle for defense.

The CPU wasn't much of a challenge, though. If someone had some ideas on how to make this game more challenging, I'd pick it back up.

One thing that I loved about BB was the player forms. It made the game feel realistic in the aspect that you could exploit a player having an off day or depend on a player on a hot streak. Madden has similar player traits, but the form in BB seemed to affect the game more than player traits, perhaps because it affected the overall performance as opposed to singular aspects of a players game. If they make a new version with different player types im in. What is really the use of physics if everyone is the same height and weight?

They aren't making a new one. They announced it several years ago.

I wish they would come back and make a new game. Backbreaker 2 would be incredible. They were so close with the first one. It was such a shame that they decided not to continue.

As was stated before, it was never really meant to be a game, more like a proto type of the Euphoria engine.

I didn't like Backbreaker very much at all. I thought the camera sucked and it wasn't very fun to play. The physics were cool though. i probably would've enjoyed it a bit more if it had the standard view I'm used to in football games.

If there would've been a Backbreaker 2 and they had a semblence of a franchise mode,had a standard cam,a variance of player models and a handful of generic faces(not all visored faceless players),they could've had a very good game with a few game play quirks worked out.You could see potential through all the shortcomings of the first attempt.

The run game RUINS the game for me. RUINS IT.
