Agreed, let's take Madden out of the equation.

Bottom line, it's still a forum where one should be able to express their opinions about any game, good , bad, or indifferent.

That's just my point, though. At some point, the criticism get's old. It's the same criticisms, either liscense, LG or 2k5.

Well deserved yes, over done, absolutely.

My whole point though, is that if people can criticize Madden for the reason of the day, people can also criticize BB for the reason of the day.

I agree that the criticism of Madden and NCAA gets old. Trust me, even I got tired of complaining about the missing refs, lack of camera angles and in-game saves, etc., after 5 years. But unless we complain, Tiburon doesn't do anything about it. Instead, in the past, they went about their merry way adding things like Madden IQ and create-a-fan. Our years of complaining will (hopefully) finally pay off with an improved Madden this year. But many of the things will STILL be missing from NCAA again this year. And that's just not right, IMO.

So, sorry if the complaining gets old to you. It's pretty old to me, too. But in Tiburon's case, there really isn't any other option available.

It's ok, EA is in a catch 22 situation. Even if the games are good in football, there will still be more complaining then playing the game itself.

There are options available if you look hard enough for them.

BB might be a good game gameplay wise. But without nfl rights. BB is no more the a gloryfied nfl blitz type game. I will rent it. But buy it. I don't think so. I am buying madden 10 and ncaa 10 already. BB will never be bought by me in a million years. unless it gets nfl rights.

For a NFL game? Doesn't sound like much of an option if you have to look hard - I'd like to know what the other options are though. As long as NFL exclusivity continues Madden will be part of any videogame football discussion. I agree w/you that people would complain even if there wasn't exclusivity, but it'd be done from a far less frustrated perspective. When APF came out, people were doing the same thing - "It's the Madden killer", "Finally 2K's making a game/it will be great" yada yada yada. Most of it stems from the frustration of having no choice imo

That is one of the more bizarre statements I've read in a while. How exactly does a game being unlicensed make it like an arcade game (Which Blitz obvious is)?

What if you rent it and it's better than Madden gameplay wise andallows you to recreate the NFL? Then what?

andallows you to recreate the NFL?

This has almost already been confirmed. They showed pics of created teams. So I'm sure you can create teams

It basically has. A dev said in an interview that if the user wanted to take the time he could make his own NFL.

Pantherbeast is like a few people here but on the opposite end of the spectrum. BB could be the greatest game known to man, but he would still find a way to criticize it.

Re: Backbreaker Screenshots: 11 vs. 11 Confirmed

The bottom line is this game's identity is wrapped up in showcasing a new physics technology. That's it. This isn't a game based on a past franchise like APF was. It's an attempt to show the possibilities of what Euphoria can do.

We're not going to see "the little things" except for maybe some cool tackles.

IGN and 1Up both posted pics of their created teams (with their copyrighted logos). It is almost certain that the game will feature FULL CUSTOMIZATION.

Re: Backbreaker Screenshots: 11 vs. 11 Confirmed

As I stated before and BK alluded to, if a futuristic look is what they're going for then it's strage that they went for big equipment that looks like a body armor. Football gear has been getting consistently smaller, lighter and more flexible over the last few decades.

True, but this isn't nfl football or present day football. Like it or not its still their take and their vision. I'm not comparing them to madden,blitz or 2k cause it will be a totally different experience unlike anything we've seen before. A football game where the on the field action takes center stage in front of everything else. And naw, i'm not a fanboy for any game. I'm Buying madden,ncaa,blitz if they drop again and BB. I'm a fan of football period.
