What if a football game was a combination of APF/Backbreaker

I don't think it's a good idea...

yes i agree with you 100 percent. that would be a perfect marriage. Natural motion through BB was the first to bring true physics to a football game. BB was not a full fledged football game. it was a tech demo to show off natural motion's physics. so when looking at BB you cant look at it as a football game per se but as a physics engine with football wrap around it. do know that Natural motion and the euphoria engine was bought out by Zynga and now Zynga is partnered up with the Unreal 4 engine and is now embedded within that engine.

The presentation and x's and o's of APF and the physics and graphics of Back Breaker. It would be a great game.

It would still need a franchise mode.

Backbreaker put a pretty cool spin on a franchise mode with road to Backbreaker but I agree a traditional franchise mode would be a must.

BackBreaker is fun. Much like APF, however, it is quite bare-boned. Some of the missing elements in this game are a little perplexing. Although either of the football games are my favorites.

Why do you feel Backbreaker was bare boned?

I'd like the combination of the physics in BB and the presentation of APK (and other 2k games).

The physics in BB were true, just needed some years of fine tuning. The unique camera angle in BB neede some getting use too, but was unique nontheless.


The presentation ( and other 2k games) is just amazing imo. Only 2k games I've played were the football, but I've seem videos of the other sports. They really immersed you in the game with the halftime show and the pre-game show. With Boomer doing his signature phrases lol. Included in presentation would be the play call format. REAL football teams call a line stunt with a coverage behind it, unless it's a pre-designed blitz.
