Re: Backbreaker Screenshots: 11 vs. 11 Confirmed

It amazes me how some of the same people that bash Madden for its unrealistic graphics and not having everything you "see on Sunday", are the same people saying this game looks good.

Im willing to bet this game will be just as bad as Blitz: The League. Aside from animations, Ive seen nothing at all to be excited over about this game. Uunlike some people, it takes more that cool looking tackles to get me excited.

I'm excited about seeing some actual substantial footage on this game, if it is impressive it will make things real interesting in this genre

Most people who are excited about Backbreaker are excited for its TECH not it's graphics and manusha man.

Backbreaker is an interesting topic here at OS. Since the beginning there have been major bashers and people saying over and over 'don't get excited', 'we haven't seen gameplay'. etc etc.

I'm looking forward to backbreaker. I don't care who doesn't want me to get excited for backbreaker, when the demo drops I'll be really excited to check it out. It will be the only football option i'll have too, so it will be nice to see something different. I've been encouraged by the goals of the development team. If you don't know them, go read them.

the funny thing is all the people bashing the game are very regular posters in this forum. Meaning whether you admit it or not, you're also VERY interested in this game. Otherwise you wouldn't spen so much time posting in here. Many of the comments used to get on my nerves, but now I realize you're bashing the game hoping it's good - convincing yourselves it will suck balls so that if it's a good game you'll be really pleasantly suprised.

OR

You're sadistic and want other people to feel dissapointed for looking forward to something new. all these posters were saying for months and months was "we haven't seen any evidence of 11vs11 football." !!!! NOW YOU HAVE...so if you were convinced there was not, you're now 100% wrong - but instead of aknowledging this in your face fact, people move on to a new bashing topic.

Vaporware? are people still saying that one? No sidelines? Still upset with the player models?

If all these things you don't like, and by the sound of it, many of you like absolutely nothing about the game - going as far to say as it looks terrible - what motivates your relentless presence in the backbreaker forums? Stop trying to ruin other people's anticipation for the game by posting nausiating repetative crap. Harping on and on about 11vs11 - you see it - and you just move on to other crap to diss. Some people here are annoying as hell, to the point it's just funny now (but still annoying).

Ironic. No? Especially since a large portion of the people who complain that this is happenig in the BB forums do exactly that in the Madden and NCAA forums.

I hope it's a great game, but I am still not convinced it's hitting the shelves anytime soon, or ever for that matter. Hopefully it wil and it will be a great title.

Wasn't even close to trolling. Just an observation, that obviously hit close to home.

But continue your crusade.

I'm not talking just about this one post but more so your other ones....

but either way, don't take it personal.....your not the only that comes off as a troll in BackBreaker threads..... there are other Operations Sports vets that come off the same way.

Where exactly did I troll? I am skeptical that the game will be released. I am concerned about the X's and O's of the football piece of the game. I've said all along I hope it's a great game, but am not convinced.

If not praising all things BB is trolling then so be it. It's funny how a certain few people have become so hyper sensitive to all things BB considering....

Wow, in the Madden forums, if you praise a certain new feature, you are called an EA Apologist/Fanboy, yada , yada , yada, and then someone screams from up on top, So, what is this, a Madden Love Fest Forum. Or you have people, that I won't mention any names, will come in and say, well, it was in LG or it was so in 2k5 or 2k8. Get it over, can't change history. It's being put in now.

Irony happens to be a reality.

People have just enough right to give constructive criticism as the people that are all hyper about a new game that is currently being produced.

I've been bashing Madden and NCAA for years. Mostly because they have been lousy representations of football. (Even Ian has basically admitted as much). I've also bashed EA for its slimy business practices (buying up all the exclusives in order to put its competitor out of business rather than make a better game, undercut the retired NFL players, etc.). From where I'm sitting, the criticism of EA up to this point has been well deserved.

Hopefully Madden and NCAA won't suck this year. If they do, hopefully BB won't disappoint. It's been far too long since I've played a quality football game.

That's just my point, though. At some point, the criticism get's old. It's the same criticisms, either liscense, LG or 2k5.

Well deserved yes, over done, absolutely.

My whole point though, is that if people can criticize Madden for the reason of the day, people can also criticize BB for the reason of the day.

Re: Backbreaker Screenshots: 11 vs. 11 Confirmed

Backbreaker shouldn't be held to the same standard as Madden imo. Any unlicensed game is operating from a position of disadvantage - Backbreaker even moreso because it doesn't even have the benefit of having a previously established game to build from. They're basically building a football game from scratch; their first game versus this being Madden's fifth next gen iteration (with 20+years of football gaming history before that). In the one dev interview I heard for Backbreaker, the guy made a compelling argument for the technology. But he hardly seemed like a "football" guy. People should be careful placing unrealistic expectations on this game just because the one NFL choice available has been disappointing for so long
