Thank you, you speak the truth. This is why i feared the return of this new producer on Madden 09. I'm afraid he'll be stuck in his last generation ways; giving us things from the ps2 and xbox version when what we need is completely new fresh ideas. When talk was on the "next generation" of videogames, i'm pretty sure we all imagined some pretty nefty features and gameplay elements that would be including in the game. Elements that couldn't make it in the past games due to their the limitation of the hardware.
Yet in reality what we got was less. We didn't even receive most of the ps2 and xbox features, they spent 2-3 years just reimplenting old stuff. And now people are in dire wanting of the last gen stuff over the elements we were all expecting from the next gen games.
This is why Backbreaker will be such a cruicial game. It might be that deciding factor. If it can get people attention, maybe just maybe, we might get a real physic engine behind the madden games. Imagine madden the way it is right now with a realtime physics engine like the ones Backbreaker is supposely using. They would no longer need to tire themselves in capturing mo-caps. They could spend all their resources in creating new exicting features and tightening up the game on a yearly bases.
To this day i still think that NFL Fever 04 had the best use of lighting and weather effects in a football game
