Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

Well to be honest, I much prefer a first day patch over a none day patch. Still waiting.

BB had a first day patch. The other game I said still after fixing a decent number of bugs is slap full of them. The other game has about 20xs the glitches and bugs as BB.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

There is a lot more than bad AI (not to mention bad AI can also produce bugs) and BB also had a day 1 patch for 'minor technical issues' on the 360.

Backbreaker is going to run out of fans on this forum if they insist on all bringing up other games to support their cause.

Bad AI produces broken play not glitches there is a HUGE difference.

Im not bringing up games to support any cause I am bringing up games because some of the trolls over here get away with constant bashing and act as if this NEVER happens with other games. I have been playing sports games for a while. BB has VERY few actual glitches in it vs other games I have played.

It has AI issues but they ARE NOT the same as glitches.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

The number of patches in "that other game" (as people so eloquently like to put it thinking that it means you aren't bringing up Madden) has NOTHING to do with Backbreaker and how it was designed, patched or anything.

Stop bringing it up.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

I give a dam about madden, im not a madden guy, i just have a problem with BB's developers releasing a game that they knew had gameplay crippling issues..

Every year i get tighter and tighter with my money as far as game purchasing because of crap like this.

You will be happy once the patch releases. Many wil be very happy for being patient, and gving BB a honest look.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

I am very interested in what the patch may do, but this is the same team that thought this was a good product to ship, so I am wary of overcompensation on their first patch of their first game, with something like the QB now having 25 seconds to throw in the pocket and DBs that no longer intercept any passes ever, with a statement like 'we couldn't stop them from intercepting the ball so they no longer have hands' akin to the reason facemask penalties are gone (they couldn't stop them from grabbing them so the penalty is gone).

I think most of us will reserve judgement until the patch actually comes and for good reason. It's based off of community feedback, but so was the entire game that we got the day it released. They've been gathering input and data for a long while on their forums, only difference is people have played it now... and while that's the biggest difference possible it's still the same process.

I haven't traded it in, just so that I can try it myself when it finally comes.

Hi Guys,

I can't give you the fix list just yet, but please trust me, we are not far away from an announcement.

Woo Hooooo!!! Can't wait. Not that I stopped playing or anything, though.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

i can feel it, backbreaker is going to take it to another level, the release of the game in may was to have the us critique the game and now its time for the true release of the game. this game is going to be the football game that we have all needed and wanted since the start of the next gen.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

Haven't read the whole thread and I'm sure it's been mentioned many times, but if the patch adds some different, 'regular' camera angles then I'll buy it instantly.

If not, then I'll wait for the next version.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

so we have no time frame at all for this patch yet?

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

I read a recent post from Todd saying that a patch announcement was coming very soon. And there was a guy griping about the passing camera angle and Todd replied to him that he would be very pleased with the patch. It's sounding good to me.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

the new camera angle doesn't need to be as zoomed out as madden, as long as its enough to some kind of peripheral vision it would be good i think.

as it stands now, there is just too much action happening on the field where i don't even know what is going on.

there was a few fumbles, and i didnt even see them, so I didnt even have a chance to go for the ball in a few games..

I have cut back during some runs, only to be clobbered by a defender that was runnng back to me.. i did not even see him because the camera is just too close, and there is no peripheral vision.

They give us this great new shiny physics engine, but you have to play it through a tiny little window.

Bad move on their part to release this game with only that single camera angle. Its just way too restrictive IMO.

At least give an option of zooming out.

I understand the dev's vision and desire to be "different" from Madden, but if you make the game that difficult to just pick up and play, then it will fail miserably in this day and age of ADD.

i also have to call non punt block formations or i get a roughing the kicker every time.

I really hope the patch addresses some or all of these issues, because even the real NFL teams wont matter to me if I am not having fun playing the game.

I have not given up yet on this game though!

Ive gotten only a couple roughing the kicker penalties (Yes it is a problem with the AI) but you are vastly overstating it.

The Running Camera is fine IMO. Press the focus button to look towards the inside.

The passing camera needs to be moved back a touch and slightly higher.

My biggest problem is Oline AI sometimes doesnt make the proper reads and will leave people unblocked. It is way too easy to stop the computers offense.

This is really noticeable in RTBB when I haven't upgraded a single Defensive player so far and I am still shutting down teams on the second tier. This shouldnt be the case.
