Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

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

It really depends on the teams that are playing, all 3 of my first games in RtBB every punt return (is punt block even in the game, not sure I've looked) I called roughed. Game 4 I started just blocking all of them, if it wasn't going to be realistic I was going to at least have it be in my favor (that's also when I started calling 100% running plays and stopped passing for ~6 games until I got a QB that could do anything meaningful).

It would feel like less of a problem if they correctly awarded a first down, many of the times it happened it would do so on consecutive plays because it was 4th and > 15.

I have a hard time believing that when I have had two roughings in about 25+ games.

As far as the penalty is concerned yes it needs to be fixed. The penalty system all together needs work. The game engine makes it harder to implement. Other games have animations for penalties. This not so much so its harder to do. Other game if X animation pops out of 100 or so animations then throw flag.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

there really needs to be a new replay system so we can see the whole field and rotate the camera so we can get good views of the beauty of this physics engine...
does anyone know if they will put in a new replay system???

It has not been confirmed, but the head developer of 5o5 games did mention in the BB forums that they are fully aware of the fact that gamers want a deeper replay system.

It might be in the patch, but if not it will be in BB2.

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

It may sound like I am being impatient... But isn't about time we at least find out what the patch will be?? I am going to be in a market for a new football game other then 2k5 on the 360.. I really enjoyed the demo of this game for the most part.. But there are a few things that keep me from buying the game... As others touched on the camera angles is a big thing for me... I would like to see more of the field or at least have a option to " turn my head via one of the sticks.. Or like FPF from 2k, Have a marker so to speak if you are getting chased down from the left,right, or behind where it would rumble as the player gets closer.. Another thing is the penalties roughing the kicker.. Doesn't happen all the time but there are times when I get like 5 of them in a row... I'm not that picky as I can see the future with backbreaker.. But fix some little things and I would be a happy camper... I want to put my new 360s to work Other then that if no football games do it for me, Then I guess I will have to wait until Nhl 11.... I understand that Ncaa is a decent game, But I'm not into the college games... Wierd I know.. But oh well.. Hopefully we get something soon..

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

Well I guess NM know how to have fun....p.s there,s a 2nd camra in the patch......to the poster above

[gridironjunky]

There's a second camera in the patch???? I had not heard this before. Where was it posted?

[mestevo]

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

Havent heard that either, just some talk more than a month ago about the current camera being tweaked.

People are taking really simple statements like 'i'll have a list of the fixes soon' to mean 'the patch is done and being tested' on the official forums.

Todd the head developer mentioned in a post that they were trying to decide how high and wide they are going to adjust the passing camera.

To me that is not a 2nd camera , but more of a adjustment to the camera we have present.

Which is fine by me , because the other 2 cameras (Running and Defense) are perfect, but you never know it may be a 2nd camera.

Either way we will get a different passing camera.

I disagree on the running camera. It's over the wrong shoulder. Don't you think? When running outside, I want to see inside, not the sideline.

Hit the Focus button and you look inside...

Re: Major Backbreaker Patch in the Works

Not really though, I mean it does, but it's zoomed more is it not? Doesn't the focus button look more at the closest defender inside? But that's besides the point, it's a bad design decision. Why would you look that direction by default when running the ball?
