Well, that doesn't sound good at all. So much for holding out hope that the CPU might provide at least a decent challenge at times.
I wonder how many games he has played though. The running stats for the Cpu are especially telling. 45 yards in two games from the two best offenses in the game is very alarming. At least the Philadelphia team put up a decent amount of yards, but it doesn't matter if the CPU makes dumb mistakes to kill drives. I just wonder how the devs thought the CPU was good enough when testing it if that is the case. My excitement for the game has been completely killed. |
Re: Early Backbreaker Impressions (Pastapadre)
I must have a different copy of the game because in my demo the CPU can move the ball effectively a lot of the times and will stop me a lot on offense. Either I am just terrible or something. I just lost to Pittsburgh with Oakland 21-0 in the demo.

Re: Early Backbreaker Impressions (Pastapadre)
Not to mention the whole limiting the player to certain quarter lengths. Great, so now I would stuck playing 5 minutes quarters which are too short for me or 10 minute quarters which are too long for me. What are they thinking with this decision?
I don't understand their reasoning with some of the decisions they made. How can a game with customization as one of the things they are pushing, not only take away the user's ability to edit player ratings and then on top of that pigeon hole you into certain quarter lengths. The quarter thing may be the final straw for me, on top of everything else, now I would be stuck playing limited quarter lengths that I don't even like. |

I bet he's loving the ability to bash the obvious mistakes that are in the game. I can't stand this guy...his EA fanboyism is sick-a-tating.
I won't even click the link to give him the hit on his site because it's not worth it. I've been there in the past an seen how ridiculous he is...lol. Lucky for NM and 505 that he's a little underling with a tiny flock. edit; as if he'd never lose a game either...anyone who played the demo enough I'm sure lost - as I did on occasion and I consider myself a seasoned gamer. |

I fell in love with the game right away with the demo, but I started to notice how weak the offensive A.I. is and the clock management. I'm strictly an offline franchise person and the more I hear about, the more this game isn't for me, I'm afraid. It's like peeling an onion, you don't know what you are getting until you start peeling off the layers. Sounds like a great two player and online game. I wish people well with it. He definitely is pro-EA, but he is correct about the games shortcomings. I don't think he brought up the camera once. |

I thought the devs confirmed that the full version had full replay functionality? Guess we were lied too??
