Tap focus he will then look inside...

ok thanks for the tip.

Re: Backbreaker Review

I believe Gameplay in that sentence doesn't represent the play of the game, but rather how it represents football.

Can't really find much else wrong with the review though, you either love it or hate it, and if you went into it expecting anything close to what you see on Sundays, you will hate it.

Dustin, is that you?

Re: Backbreaker Review

I am shocked that this actually came out from OS. This is probably the most unprofessional review I have seen and there have been some pretty bad ones out there.

"Well, how about my first 12 possessions in a Human vs. CPU game of Backbreaker: fumble, fumble, fumble, interception, interception, field goal, interception, interception, interception, interception, fumble and interception."

The odds of this being true and not an exaggeration are slim to none. And if this is in fact true then I would sugegst that a new individual be found to provide the websites opinion on sports games.

Again, as others have mentioned, this is not a matter of score or a negative review, but just an unprofessional and misleading review.

I completed 1/21 passes in my first game. There's nothing much misleading about the review. It unnecessarily scathing but that his opinion.

Re: Backbreaker Review

Very disappointed in OperationSports for allowing a review like this.... edit- I'm talking about the head editor.

OS BackBreaker reviewer -
"I say that because the gameplay in Backbreaker is its biggest downfall by far. It does not even feel as realistic as an old NFL Blitz title."

I mean really?

its not about it deserving a high score or a bad score or what ever....but I don't know how anyone can take a review from a professional sports videogame site like OS has been viewed as, serious when one of their reviewers says something like this.....seems like someone is reaching.

but enjoy the hits I guess.

I am ok with this review, but I have a problem comparing this game to Blitz. Blitz was a notch lower to me than this game here.

Just got this game yesterday- I was on the fence after the bad reviews.
Having played it - I CANNOT BELIEVE these reviews and how critical they are. Backbreaker has problems, we all know that BUT the good far out weighs the bad!
The game is certainly not perfect but it deserves more than a 5 any day of the week. More like 7 or 7.5 if u ask me.

Who is Dustin? The game they produced is consistently creating these kinds of reviews. Perhaps now that one came from OS itself some people will understand that this is not a good game. That's great that some of you guys can make the best of it, but it doesn't make it good or great.

I completed more passes in any given game in the demo than I completed in the first 4 games of my Road to BB franchise (approximately 9/120).

You being bad at a game, doesn't make said game bad.

on passing : you cant just pick the game up and expect to throw four td's off the back you have to practice...if someone threw u into the NFL right now, do u not think you would be 1/21 passing? think about it people...the game is more sim than people are making it out to be...just because you are bad at the game when you first pick it up doesnt mean the game sucks

The 1/21 example was just to reinforce the reviewers notion that he had 12 ridiculous possessions to start off. Versus some other poster calling the review a liar.

who are "some people"?....potential buyers or most on this site who seem to be enjoying the game?

as far as consistent bad scores.....again, the #s game mean nothing, if the content in the Review is rubbish.

apparently I must be a GAMING GOD....LOL...

any other GAMING GODS out there that do a better job of completing passes than some of these low #s the reviewer and Mestevo giving off?

Re: Backbreaker Review

So, is it possible to ban a reviewer for trolling?

Re: Backbreaker Review

I can see this logic if reviews are something you believe strongly in. I however don't. I base how good or bad a game is purely on how it plays.

dude, EVEN YOU are smarter than that.

The consistent bad reviews make the game bad for those said reviewers.

Re: Backbreaker Review

The bad game made the reviews bad, not the reviews.

It's nice that some of you guys are able to turn that frown upside down, but it's an acquired taste, and requires you look past a lot of problems. If you don't realize that then you really can't be helped.

They're opinions, because yours are different doesn't make you right or more important.
