    Instead they need to wait until about 45 days after the release of Madden...just about when everyone is realizing that no matter how many things change it is still the same game. Work up a deal with Gamestop as well so your Madden trade in nets you an extra $10 off the purchase of BackBreaker.

    Then you might actually put a dent in the market and make people think twice the next year...or at least make EA work for their money the next year.
    You are pretty certain EA didn't work for their $ this year?

              They havent even announced a publisher for the game. I highly doubt that release date is correct. If it is, they have no idea how to promote a videogame(especially one that is going to be competing against madden). There has been VERY little amount of info released, and still, no 11 on 11 gameplay vids. Im guessing this game comes out in late nov/dec. By then, most people will be done with madden and wanting another football fix.

                  I'd be very surprised if this game is released in 6 weeks. Jdog's argument sums it up well.

                    i doubt it myself. I just wanted to hear opinions. There has really been NOTHING as far as.....

                    gameplay, features, customization, teams, 11 0n 11 ??? Etc. ....

                    One of the most mysterious games ever?

                        I can't wait for 2K fanboys to convert to Backbreaker and kiss NatralMotion's glutes. Me, I'll check it out. But, if Madden is gonna get scrutinized, then so is Backbreaker. Gonna be on it like a hawk on a pregnant flounder...

                          Thing I don't get is they have this new technology that is all about added realism in how tot he players move, tackle, run... yet they go with a football player design that is more similar to Blitz than any other simulation game I've seen.

                          I guess by simplifying the player design less of their smaller development team's time is burnt on making models realistic giving them more time to work on game play.

                          And about the mistake of not pressing the game early enough and it handicapping its chance for success... All Pro Football put much more than this has (yet way less than madden) and it still bombed.

                          But I think the longer EA holds exclusive rights, the more people will be willing to look for something that takes a different perspective. Having said that, it probably will still do horrible in sales.

                            But this game really isn't that arcade. It looks a lot more sim than Madden or 2k IMO.

                              The jury is still out for that on Madden 10. Have you seen every presentation video/picture or gameplay with Madden 10? You can't compare apples to apples, yet.

                                I think that is also the release date for Duke Nukem Forever.
